In a slightly dystopian turn of events, TJ Maxx, Homegoods, and Marshalls store workers are being equipped with body cameras to discourage shoplifters from targeting the store.

There is no easy solution for companies trying to craft policies that balance in-office and flexible working, as there are undeniable benefits to both approaches. But much of the recent messaging from company leaders demanding that employees return to the office has felt tone-deaf at best and dictatorial at worst.
