Grain of truth and all that - the time I spend between home and work is almost meditative. On the other hand, I walk and take public transport; if I had to drive I don't think I'd be even mildly positive.

I used to enjoy my 30 minute walk each way to and from the office as me time with music or podcasts but now I just walk the dogs for an hour after work instead and get the same benefit plus the dogs get walked without me having to go outside again

I psychologically recover from work by turning the loving laptop off and slam dunking it into my backpack, even if I'm going to work from home tomorrow too.

I just go for a walk with the dog, it’s not that loving hard to come up with a clear delineation between work and not-work.

Like, if you have problems “turning it off” when five rolls around and you’re giving your boss unpaid labor, the solution is to work on that with a therapist or self-help book or whatever, not require there be 10 million cars on the road.

Yeah, I feel like if driving offers you a rare liminal space to decompress you're probably not paying enough attention to the road. My liminal space is napping until I feel good and ready to work.

Ahahaha wonder if these management scholars hangout with NFL concussion doctors. On WFH days nothing stops me from sitting in my car for 45 minutes then throwing $10 in the trash, but oddly I don’t do that if I don’t have to.

My commute by train was absolutely meditative. Good book (this was before wi-fi), time to myself, watching the world go by my window. Driving? Not so much.

Dude, ix-nay on the oice-vay.

Except then there have also been studies saying that there is a massive increase in the likelihood of chronic depression if your commute is more than 20 minutes one way because driving should not be completely brainless, especially during rush hour.

I’m guessing “scholars” means hr think tanks who collect money for coming up with ways to make employees eat poo poo.

These are our WFH requirements minus the webcam poo poo, but it's for security reasons.

I did get into a bit of a slapfight over the requirement to install a privacy screen on my monitor. The things suck and end up peeling off anyway.

My easy 10 minute drive home 100% lets me decompress from work, listen to dumb poo poo I found that day at work, and stop by the store for dinner that night.

If that was replaced with 'stagger out of bed, jiggle mouse, log into work machine, go back to bed', nothing of value would be lost.

INCORRECT! The value of the money that capital put into all of that expensive, downtown commercial real estate would be lost!

I had a friend who was trying to import those into the US but I guess there were issues with street legality. It may have been because they were older though.

"wich the worst part was what troll face did to sonic's corpse after words wich was rape it. at that point i looked away"



My work allows me to work from home twice a week on the condition I install TIME DOCTOR on my work laptop.

TIME DOCTOR is a "useful" "time management app" that "helps" workers manage their time. How does it do this? Well, you turn on TIME DOCTOR when you begin working. TIME DOCTOR then takes a screenshot of your computer screen once every minute and a half or so. If TIME DOCTOR does not detect you are typing/moving your mouse enough, a pop-up appears on-screen asking you if you are still working. You have 60 seconds to click "yes", or it will automatically put you on a break.

My boss can, at any point, look at the screenshots of all his employees using TIME DOCTOR. He can also check when they are registered as not working/on a break.

My work is research. This means, I am often reading or watching a video on my laptop which does not require input on my part. This means I am greeted with "ARE YOU WORKING?" pop-ups constantly.

TIME DOCTOR, in case you cannot tell, ifs a universally-despised program that does not in any way help workers whatsoever. It exists purely to nark on you to your boss when it thinks you are not working.

Best of all, TIME DOCTOR does not even do what it is loving supposed to do. This is because if your boss has 10 employees using it in a day, that's what - 400 pictures an hour? Even do-nothing bosses do not have time to loving scroll through all those screenshots.

Additionally, I can simply load up a Youtube video relevant to the topic I am researching, put it on .5x speed, and then do something else. As long as I mash an unimportant key like "`" every few minutes, it will not freak out. This does not stop it from being annoying as gently caress and essentially just being a form of psychological warfare against employees.

I, and everyone else I know, loving hates TIME DOCTOR.
