You’re So Funny, Boss

Every morning when I get to the office, by 4 a.m. by the way, I have a few things I do as I am getting ready for my day.

Back to the survey. I saw a survey that asked people who are working from home what they missed most about not being in the office. The number one answer, for two-thirds of people was that they missed seeing their co-workers and friends.  Makes sense I guess.  Other obvious answers given were that they missed face to face meetings and hearing office gossip,.  Again, all expected answers.  However, 13% of respondents said they miss their bosses’ jokes.  Seriously.

Hey boss. Did you hear the one about…
