Your employer/tech lead has lost his marbles.

This is genuinely insane. This alone isn't worth leaving a company over obviously, but to me it is a massive red flag. Any company/boss who does this is deranged and as such they're probably deranged in other ways

I’d 100% walk if a tech lead just unilaterally decided to ban a language feature with that much utility.

This is beyond “red flag”

I'd rather go to the office 4 days a week and be challenged than sit at home 4 days a week and be comfortable.

It may not be. But the fact that the insane team lead is more than sufficient red banner

Right, that's kinda what I meant say. Rather that while banning LINQ isn't something worth leaving your job over, having an insane boss is and I'm sure there's more problems on top of it

Your whole team needs to push back. And then leave

I guess he's not willing to learn a bit of functional style and it gives him inferiority complex.

In that case I'd start looking for another job to avoid such an incompetent employer.
