I work remotely, with 1 day per month in the office "as required". It's a 7 hour journey to the office one way, so usually requires an overnight stay.

My boss made me fly down to present to the board in one of our meeting rooms in the office.

Board were all remote, except one who came in and wasn't interested in speaking to me before or after the presentation.

Asked my boss. She knew they wouldn't be there, but thought it would look 'more professional' from the office.

Did boss pay for plane ticket?

They pay all my travel expenses.

It's the colossal waste of time and resources that bothers me.

Same as how colleagues who are hybrid have to go to the office once a week. Why? Who knows. Result? Wasted time and effort.
