to be fair tho, most employees are also being revealed to be obsolete (not as immediately obsolete as a manager, but i digress), especially with the admission by most that they only put in 1-2 hours of productive work and the rest is theatre to appease their liege. ask me about my opinions on automation and why UBI is needed imminently

I can agree we should automate all the jobs but I'm not sure we shouldn't just let people die in a ditch. How about instead we use this influx of available labor towards blood sports. I wanna see Hunger Games, Squid Games, Battle Royal, Running Man etc. become reality. It's not the same when you it isn't someone real that is struggling for their life in a cruel capitalist hellscape.

That's a high quality avatar right there.
Been working from home for two years and now and I would be fine never going back to an office for the rest of my life.

Work-life balance is still the same. When I’m offline no one tends to bother me unless there’s a big issue.

Love never commuting.

One down side is whenever I poop at work while I’m home it doesn’t have the same “gently caress you” impact as pooping at the office does.

I for one welcome the lazy to purchase such things since it'll hopefully make them easier for disabled people to access!

I can’t poop at work because there are no bidets. One could say I feel entitled to a bidet :smug:

I also had to go in to the office today for the first time in a long time to test if that fixed my VPN issues (it didn't). But at least I finally got my new mousepad to my desk.

I don't really feel whatever other people are feeling when they complain about work-life balance. I work and life staring at the same screen, no problem. 17:00 rolls around and I minimize Visual Studio and maximize YouTube. For me, at least, it's really nice. If I feel like I want to work longer, I can have dinner, take a shower, and get back to it at any time. I'm about as productive in the office as at home, but at home, it's a lot easier to replace lunch with an hour (attempt at) sleep if I'm too tired to focus. I also like being able to sleep in more. Especially because most of my friends are in another timezone.

I don’t mind the office, but it's a lot of walking to get to mine. I might feel different if I had a car or at least a scooter or something.
My friends all tried convincing me to live in the neighboring state with them and commute like 1.5+ hours one way, and I am extremely glad I did not do that. I don't know how my two coworker friends do it.
Starting next week, I have to come in once a week, and it feels like a hassle.

WFH makes it harder to have failed office romances, sure, but I seem to be making friends at work no problem. We still have meetings, and I also have reasons to talk to them outside of those as well. I guess it depends on your job (and your ability to derail meetings with dumb attempts at comedy.)

At the very least, WFH is good for the environment.

I'm hoping the trick is to treat my 2 days in the office just like I do on my worst days at home, and basically live like a god drat pig all day so eventually they stop asking me to come in.

The human gallbladder is indeed a puzzle!
I will be traveling four different locations by train during London rush hours this week

Two of them were necessary, it's million times easy to do those in person(new clients). One of them treated me with freshly cooked pasta at the nearby restaurant. They offered remote working once we gained some ground.

Two of them were 100% "we're paying that consultant lots (for a non IT job) of money so BY GOD we will be having him here for something that can be done remotely". One of them literally thinks remote working makes people lazy

Guess which ones also have nothing but contempt for me and my work and actively go on rants about how they only had their wits (and six million pounds) when they formed the company and don't need nothing else

You jest, but I almost lost my job at the dick-sucking factory mid-2020 until I brought up teledildonics at our monthly team meeting. The company invested and now clients have a unit at home that sucks them, but I control it remotely with a device full of sensors that I suck like a flesh and blood cock. All for $9.99/mo.

I've seen the future and it is good.

Soon.

an overlooked benefit of WFH is that it extends the lifespan of your car. I mean, if your commute was 30 miles a day and this is eliminated, like mine was, that's kind of a big deal

Remember that one guy that posted in e/n about how his farts were causing his coworkers to complain and he was like lactose intolerant or something but refused to stop eating cheese? And his fridge was like just full of cheese. That guy is our hero. You can get the okay to work from home by causing your coworkers to be so repulsed by you that they won't let you come to the office anymore. Life hax
