If your company is nationwide and has offices all over the country and you work on a distributed team where some people are on the west coast, some are central, and some are on the east coast. In this such event, none of your teammates will physically be able to tell if you are in the office. That’s what this feature is for.
So we can all continue to work from home, from a prescribed office of our employers choosing.

When I worked in an office, most of my team was in other offices across the world. But we had to be in the office for that TEAM BUILDING

Even if the whole team is actually in the conference room…it’s one dude with a laptop who struggles to get the display working for 10 min then proceeds to just read the PowerPoint out loud.
None of this required me putting on pants or being part of traffic.

Even worse, it’s completely real. It was the common situation for me before corona. Also driving an entire day for a 1 hour meeting.

I had to read this like six times, because it was so illogical my brain refused to comprehend.
