Corporate compass not working
Some years ago I worked for a small company in London that was run a bit like a gentleman's club.

The senior management team lived a life of luxury, and most of the corporate decisions were based on their individual needs rather than the needs of the business and employees. It was a crappy job but as long as you went with the flow and didn't rock the boat there was relatively little stress.

After a year, the MD announced to the group that we had outgrown our office and would be seeking new premises. The needs of the employees were the most important factor he said, so he would conduct a survey to determine where the majority of people traveled in from. They would then find an office that was easiest to reach for most. Sounded fair and above board.

The process was transparent, so a few weeks later they announced that out of 95 employees, 62 lived south of the river (me included), so that result would help focus their search.

Three months later they moved us into a new office in......Kings Cross!

Where did the MD live? Highgate.

Twat!

Having (briefly) lived south of the river
I hardly think your boss could be called a twat for choosing not to
