Working at home versus working in the office

[NoBacon]

I work from home in Calif. I do not miss the commute but I do miss the office, it’s good to get out of the house tbchwy

Don’t do that, sir. You know as well as anybody you’d never want to go back to the office. I remember the fear of waiting for the return to office mandate email. It sucks.

I typically have a hybrid week, three days in-office, two days WFH. Sometimes i go in on WFH days because it's necessary for whatever project I'm involved with. Sometimes i go in just to get some peace and quiet

 

[JoeCumiawearsDIAPERS]

I work from home a couple days a week and quite frankly, I’m way less productive at home. There’s just too many distractions for me to truly focus.

I’m one of the few people I know who admits this so it may just be me but I suspect everyone else is full of shit.

I can never work in an office again after working from home. My job tried to get us to do a hybrid thing, with just two days in office, and I'd say I'd quit if they did that, and they dropped it. And since it's so many years past the pandemic, they finally chilled out on the zoom meetings, which were usually death. But I still find ways to resent my job, of course.

When budgets are tighter and things go downwards, they force everybody back hoping they’ll quit or threaten to quit. It’s a way to reduce numbers and have lay offs for free without paying severance.

It’s worth remembering this for the future.

Working from home rules, I get paid to surf OnAForums and jack off. Sometimes at the same time

If you work in software, there are endless fully remote jobs. I will never EVER not have a fully remote job again. The location independence and time saved every day driving to-from work is priceless.

This is the crux of it. I don't think most people care where they do their work, everyone's tired of spending 1-3 hours in their damn cars in traffic every day. It's the worst, and such a gigantic waste of time.

I’ve been full time remote since before the jewflu, and I’m never going back into an office again. Mr. Noseberg has figured out it would take two people to replace my skill set and probably 1-2 years for them to get the domain knowledge. Offices are literal hellscapes with the most useless, obnoxious NPCs that fill them.

 

[Not-a-nasty-street-shitte]

I gotta do my one day a week tomorrow. I hate it. KCMO is a crime ridden shithole. I speed in and speed out.

If you are a man whos works from home you have a vagina and you won't be respected.

Ain't no remote work down on the jobsite. Just need my container of coffee and I'm ready to put these hands to work.



Seriously though, everyone I know who works from home does like 2-3 hours of work a day at most. As someone who has to employ others, this enrages me.

You really think they were doing more than 2-3 hours of actual work when they were in the office?

Man, I really don't know. I'm really an outsider to corporate culture it seems. I've worked around the trades my whole life and it's a lot of fucking work, so it's very noticeable when someone is slacking.

Even if you have a job that seems to be real and productive, it’s often serving something which isn’t, so it’s also pointless.

Example. A janitor in an office of insurance consultants, or the people who built that office etc.

I don’t know what the answer is, but if you took some random dude from 100s of years ago and brought them to today, they’d be horrified we still spend most of our time at work and it’s mostly nonsensical and pointless and for some reason women demand the right to do it as well instead of being mothers and wives.
