This is SO FUCKING STUPID!

For those whose work activities support it, working from home (or staff-driven hybrid) results in the same or better productivity and better mental health outcomes.

Back to the office directives are created for a number of reasons, all of them terrible.

  • Insecure managers can micromanage their staff
  • Insecure executives can survey/show off their 'empire'
  • Unhappy decision makers can keep other people from being happy

Fuck this.

    I get way more done at home because there are no needless distractions, like a coworker wanting to talk about his favorite sports team that I don't care about. Now when they are like "hey want to have a teams call". Nope.. busy

    It's a thinly veiled plan by the employer to force attrition in the workforce, while trying to keep severance liabilities to a minimum. It's a layoff plan, and nothing else. Anyone left is a slave.

    Look we collectively had a golden opportunity to change things forever, but we blew it. We blew it. Collectively as humans, we are self defeating.
