Working remotely isn't suitable for every person (or for every job, obviously) while being a great boon to some people (and some jobs) and that's why workplaces should be flexible but that's too milquetoast an opinion for the arguing thread so I'll just say I am never ever going back to two-hour bus commutes and you can't make me.

This is why I couldn’t stand working from home tbh. Work is work. I like work mode and gently caress you I’m off mode being nice and separate. I like being physically tired and sitting in my goon chair taunting at my foes in TF2 in a completely different environment from where I work, to blow off steam, ya know? Same reason when my jobs were bouncing between godawful restaurant gigs, I was one of these guys E: I think I’m associating wfh with office gigs in general, where office or home you’re technically 9-5 but expected to be on top of email/call/etc 24/7 and gently caress that am I on the clock? No? Piss off. Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 15:44 on Feb 16, 2024 |

Remote work is for office drones who don't do real work. Rather they send emails, edit excel documents, and look at porn or memes all day. And are paid more than people doing real work, until soon they will all be replaced by AI, which is more efficient at email, porn and memes, and doesn't need to be paid. The people doing real work will have their jobs until AI learns how to control bodies, at which point having a job becomes irrelevant anyway.

Phu fact: not tryna be manly man man workin tough jobs to own lame office drones, just legit my jobs are mechanic and military reserve, and being home shitposting and gaming with my family warms my heart and I’d legit probably lose my mind if this computer chair with a cat wiggling at me and a computer and my phone was also my job space. I really don’t get the appeal.

I like working from home but I'm a bougie upper middle class office DINK and I have a nice home office on the third floor of my house that's only used for storage, the guest room, and my office so I just see that floor as 'work'. Makes it easy to separate it from the normal day to day. I also have a lot of local friends that WFH or work near enough to me that I can grab lunch/coffee/a beer easily so I don't miss the social aspect of an office.

I work answering calls, but I can do that from home and it means I save money on fuel and wear in the car, so that is good!

If I had a "flexible" job with a company that had an office, I would be in the office whenever I could.

Working from an office wouldn't be so bad except for the commute, and the fact that every single company I've worked for in the last 15 years has moved to open office plans where it's impossible to concentrate. There's 0 chance I'm spending an extra 2 hours dedicated to getting to/from my job, while also being subjected to every imbecile around chewing with their mouth open on the provided snacks which are loving CornNuts™ for some reason.

It wasn’t that long ago that a family could have the father work a 40 hour a week job (at the office) while the mother stayed home and took care of the household and they could afford a decent-sized house, insurance, vehicle and have enough to comfortably raise children and go on vacation. Then liberals and tech jobs started complaining about the “commute” and “work/life balance” and now we see the complete hellhole that middle America has become. Coincidental? I’ll let you draw your own conclusions

My pho is that the quote collapse button should probably be collapsed by default otherwise it kind of defeats the point.

So if you see it's a big quote you can just hit the triangle before you scroll. Like this mawarannahr posted:Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

My unpopular opinion is that a lot of WFH advocates really take for granted the sheer number of people who simply cannot take that option in order to make the WFH person capable of being a recluse. While I think it's good for a lot of reasons to let people work from home if it's feasible in their job, it also trades one person's in-person labor for another somewhere along the infrastructure. It can also create divisive situations within various businesses and bureaucracies where some jobs can work from home (Admins, tech support, clerks/secretaries/etc) while others simply can't (janitors, repair techs, drivers, warehouse workers, medical staff, etc).

Can you elaborate on this? How does, like, an accountant working from home make someone else have to do more in-person somewhere else? Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?

Yeah I definitely think flexibility is key Even prior to covid my medical condition caused doctors to recommend I spend as much time working from home as possible. But I will admit it I kind of liked being in office at time and didn't mind just ignoring the doctor's order since I changed jobs and no one asked for a release at any point. Like honestly it was even easier to work less onsite because people just assume if you're there you're working, and have a lot less expectations for off hour work. And I'll be real if I went to lunch for an hour instead of a half hour, I never felt remotely guilty. Post covid though, things changed a lot. And not just out of disease avoidance. I got REALLY GOOD at doing my job remotely and it became harder and harder to ever justify going in. I also noticed that my health got DRAMATICALLY better; it turns out the doctor had the right idea after all, go figure; it improved so much I just had a very hard time justifying putting myself in an in office situation again. It did suck that people thought I then worked 24/7, that I felt a lot more like I had to justify my paycheck and that there was a lot more bleed of work into my day to day time, but it ended up being way better overall. Now in an extended job hunt I'm long past the point where I can reply for remote only and just have to try to get anything. And like I have to think one of the reasons I can't find work is when I go to an interview for an onsite job like in the back of my mind the dread of working in person influences me and causes me to bomb the interviews, when interviewing used to be a primary skill. I just wish that this all wasn't such a hot button issue for people and that it was easier to find a flexible job.

Going in to the pharmacy every day, pretending to look at your options for a couple minutes before asking for a taste of the anti-androgens like always, the pharmacist who is visibly tired of your poo poo hands it over, and you leave without buying anything.

At least locally a lot of the low income care for people without insurance is based on the distribution, or re-distribution of samples, for what it’s worth.
