Employees equate the first few months at a new organization to the honeymoon phase at the beginning of any relationship. This was especially true for the employees of Better.com.

They attended online scavenger hunts, cooking classes and were showered with freebies including champagne and chocolate. Mr Christian Chapman who works as a mortgage underwriting trainer, blissfully cheered "LGTM!" which stands for "Let's get that money." Like any relationship, as time progressed the red flags started revealing themselves. Among other things, Vishal Garg the company's executive held a video call and delivered such an expletive-laden monologue that Mr Chapman had to mute himself and usher his daughter out of the room. Following that, he called in 900 employees and fired them over a zoom call.

This case is just an example. As couches became cubicles, employees are evaluating how they treat each other and how they would like to be treated in their workplace. Angelina Darrisaw, CEO of the firm C-Suite Coach said that "the tolerance for dealing with jerky bosses has reduced." Her executive coaching company observed an increase in enrollments. She says, "You can't just wake up one morning and lead people. Companies are thinking about how do we make sure our managers are actually equipped to manage." Employees have actively begun to question behaviours that they used to earlier shrug off during in-person work. Workplace behaviour exhibited especially by managers and executives is under close scrutiny. Movements such as #MeToo led to many senior officials stepping down after accusations of sexual assault. Black Lives Matter forced bosses to apologise for their previous discriminatory behaviour and correct their language. While jerk behaviour is not illegal, workers have made it clear that it sure won't be tolerated anymore.
