It can be quite telling when leaders who advanced through flattery and office politics encounter employees who aren’t swayed by titles or status. In such situations, their need for recognition often becomes apparent. Unfortunately, rather than responding with humility, some may resort to passive-aggressive behavior or even attempt to undermine those who don’t show deference, including efforts to damage reputations or careers. Life is too short to compromise your self-respect for individuals who view themselves as inherently superior.

@aa No substance. No spine. This is the state of the entire country and korporate world. Real leadership is dead.

Hence, the reason why they wanted to return to office. It became very clear very quick on who was actually doing work and accomplishing things, versus leaders who just like to walk around and have their ego stroked.
If people are working remotely, then what do those leaders do all day? Who was gonna stroke their ego and make them feel good.
THAT’S why there was a return to the office.
Yeah our leaders are fu---d in the head, they want accountability, they need to flush about half of PSG 27+ based on their results, and start to make people stay in roles to deliver results, not to flit between initiatives before they are finished.
Agreed with OP. There’s a certain type that plays both victim and victor demanding entitlement when out of power, then doing nothing but promote incompetence and silence dissent once they’re in.
They reward bullies, dodge accountability, and throw their own under the bus the moment things get uncomfortable. No education, competency, no delivery just noise.
When it all falls apart, they retreat to global advisory roles, calling themselves experts in processes they ran into the ground. It’s all optics. No substance. No spine.
