I'd laugh, but this just seems like it would actually happen.

    When I accepted my current job, I did so on the conditions that I'd work 4x10 and fully from home (after training). When I started, they said there had been a misunderstanding about full WFH and that I was allowed to WFH one day a week. (That eventually changed during COVID but no one ever apologized to me for lying to me.)

    Seven years later - last year - they told me that it was "unfair" that I'm the only person who had a special schedule (apparently I was the last person to have it, but I certainly was not the only) and took that away, too.

    I live in a rural area and will not be able to find a comparable job nearby. I've been contemplating what to do.

    Wanna share the plan? I'm still trying to come up with something for my boss.

    On my first job the boss was telling a story about one of his previous jobs, where at one point they had to redo a whole week's worth of work in one night. They tried hard and managed to do it. So I just added: "it's in those times one see how slow they usually work"

    Burnout is a thing too. There’s a reason marathon runners don’t sprint.

    Marathons don’t move at the speed of business though. Progress moves business faster. Commerce IS business. Fast businesses use speed to move faster than their clients speed.

    Business, business business. Speed. Solutions.

    Edit: how am I being downvoted lol - obviously what I wrote is nonsense straight from every Amazon, UPS, IBM commercial every made. Maybe I’m just moving at the speed of business. Keep up!
