I love it when new names emerge for behaviors in the workplace. The underlying article introduces us to 📣 office peacocking: making the office look great to attract people in 📣 coffee badging: turning up at the office for coffee so that you've been seen, and then heading home 📣 shadow policies: where individual managers adopt their own rules because they don't believe the company guidance is working for their team. What new post-COVID and return-to-office terminology have you come across?

Bob Merberg - has anyone produced robust research yet on the effectiveness of working from home vs working in the office? I suspect it's the usual, but difficult to interpret answer "it depends"? #returntooffice #workplace #effectiveness #productivity
