I am pretty sure that your "mentor" would be still be the asshole in an office setting too!


Actually he was nicer before the pandemic while we were in the office. He always came by to show me stuff when I called him.

I've noticed the behavior of several other colleagues (not everyone) changed while WFH. Many became more distant and hesitant to cooperate and lend a hand. Most wanted to lock themselves in a "don't bother me for anything, let me wrap my work faster, so I can sign out for the day early" kind of state.


Completely opposite experience to mine but I see how some work environment/culture could foster that behavior.
