Sean had worked remotely for four years with perfect performance, so he was shocked when his boss suddenly demanded he return to the office “to manage time better.” When he pushed back, HR quietly agreed to keep him remote — but slipped him a flash drive on the way out.

Now he must choose between letting his employer spy on him or giving up remote work entirely — and the ordeal makes him question whether the job deserves him at all.
