I take piss breaks more than I need to because I like to walk past my direct reports' desks to make sure they're working and not dicking around. I then sit back down and POAST.

maybe most importantly, i'd feel like absolute garbage if i worked from home everyday. i wonder how many others feel similarly.

I do agree that most white collar jobs are brainless and could be done by strange introverts siloed away in their homes though. of course, thats only a short step away from moving most of those same jobs to the indian subcontinent

this is literally the same thought i had the other day

99% of white collar jobs are complete fucking bullshit.

also, 100% WFH gives you the ability to live in a low COL area, which is 180 except if you want to find another job w/o having to move.

It's degrading and emasculating to work in an office. Any male who works in a corporate setting and does not own a large chunk of that corporation and yet insists on there being benefits to going into an office should just get that surgery to invert their penis into a vagina immediately.

Video cameras and microphones are already dirt cheap.

Desktop monitoring software has been around for decades.

GC is NOT havin' it

the bort has read me complain a million times about how workplaces now are about form over substance. they care far more about the appearance that you are slaving away for your corporate, GC overlords than the actual quality of your work.

if you are at home, they can't exert the same level of obsessive control.

2. The amount of time just wasted driving there and back.

3. The sheer pointlessness of the face to face meeting. It easily could have been handled by phone.

4. Sympathy for people in the open office. Holy shit.

All cons and no pros. I just did it because I knew this person really preferred F2F meetings.

commuting (an extra 1 to 2 hours of unpaid labor every day)

making small talk with coworkers with whom you have nothing in common other than membership in slave class

having to convincingly pretend you give a shit beyond doing the bare minimum to continue getting a paycheck

I can set the temperature in my house to what I want.

My equipment and monitor are better at home. My desk is nicer.

Everything is less convenient. To get food you need to either drive somewhere or eat at the shitty cafeteria after waiting in a line. It is all overpriced and low quality. Instead, you could walk over to your fridge and get good quality food. Instead of going to Starbucks I can use my espresso machine.

I can walk my dog during the day and actually unwind for a little bit.

Also, coming into an office is expensive as shit. Get a dog walker. Pay for gas. Wear and tear on your car. Overpriced lunch/coffee. Getting dry cleaning.

It goes on and on...

I will admit that a long commute is hell if that's the alternative for you. Best case scenario is probably 1/2 days in an office per week.

Less office space costs less money. So you let people who want to WFH WFH and everyone wins.
