Meaning
This points to workplace hierarchy and the unease that comes when formal distance starts to disappear. It can be read as a call for clearer roles, but also as nostalgia for old corporate manners that kept power visibly in place. It lands in an office where informality has replaced ceremony, and some people feel the balance has been blurred.
