So is it just unanimous then that we all hate commuting to an office? Dinosaur CEOs need to get with the times and make it a permanent option.

It's a permanent option at my workplace but Germany being Germany it gives you a lazy man reputation regardless of results. Must appear busy, much like in Japan.

Also I hate lunch breaks, these pieces of shit make it a social event and steal 1 hour of my life every single day and I could be going home 1 hour sooner

This attitude is the bane of my existence. So stupid and outdated.

I prefer going in

I prefer going to the office. My apartment is my sanctuary.

I did enjoy socializing while working, sports at lunch etc. but taking my large mid morning (post coffee) dump in the comfort and safety of my own bathroom with the door wide open? unbeatable perk

I also saved a couple minutes yesterday by scheduling my dump during a particularly unnecessary Teams call. Yes I know Im getting bold.

 

[.zero]

I prefer working more from the comfort of wherever the fvck I want. These boomers better not infringe otherwise I’ll castle law their old asses

don’t tread on me bro

I do like going for a run at 10am but other than that I’m usually annoyed because I don’t own a desk

Can't a Mormon whittle one for you?

They shut down my office for the day and advise I get tested since some other employee tested positive.

I haven't been to the office since March so

Better check your bank account. You maybe haven't been paid since March.

There are dinosaur CEOs who still think they're running a factory assembly line.

That said, so much way overindexing these days about never going to an office again. Business travel was largely fat and inflated as an industry, but it also served a critical purpose: humans work better together and ultimately get more done with physical presence.

Yes, for a lot of management wankers, they're shocked that you can actually get stuff done while at the same time risking being catfished by a Nigerian prince. But that's not the only reason we have business offices.

I like going to the office -- and would probably be happiest with a hybrid setup of flexibly going in and not during the week. For the serendipitous encounter. For physically experiencing the potential good in a company culture (for many people with a crap culture, no wonder they never want to go in). For social support as the glue behind teamwork.

I know bean-counter engineers who will start their meeting cost timer for everyone involved in a gathering, and they will lament every minute spent on small talk and chit chat. But that time is often the most essential social grease lubricating the grinding gears of a hellish project -- one that might make everyone miserable and give up on their own without it.

And here's the other rub nobody seems to be addressing: the more you can do the work without ever showing up, the more anybody else can do your work without showing up, and the more you can be replaced by a $2/hour wage slave in Malaysia. All it takes is one company to look at their bottom line costs, make major cuts for greater profitability, and the stock market rewards them and punishes all the competitors who do not. And the next thing you know there is a work race to the bottom where to not replace your fat, lazy, and pampered Western ass at 1/10th the price is considered financially irresponsible for a business' management team.

And how is Claudio gonna check out the flavor of the week by looking only at Zoom profiles? He ain't gonna tap dat ass if that ass spreads across the carpet under chest level, but he won't know it if he never sees it.

Mormons don’t do Amish.

I liked going in when I had a job with great environment and co-workers roasting each other all day.

But that was one job. The rest was crap and I'd much rather work from home.

And yes, commuting is hell but it's the best time for listening to music.

I fucking hate when people feel the need to schedule meetings on a Friday AND always use the entire time allotted for the meeting despite the fact all of the agenda items for said meeting were addressed in the first half of the meeting.

I’ve done either, most are pretty unnecessary but you gotta get through them

I'm losing patience today but that is probably because I've been in 5 hour meetings each day all week.
