Eh kinda. FOMO is more about things like ‘I didn’t get rich like everyone else did.’.
The boss thing is as often about trying to avoid negative consequences/staying in control of an interaction.
If you’re always available to your boss, it’s harder for them to blame you for something not working (because you weren’t there to walk them through it at 2am).
If you respond to a negative social media post before everyone else reads it, you have a better chance in getting ahead of a shitstorm, etc.
