I do a job in which I produce countable digital product for my employer. I keep records of everything I complete (it only takes a couple of seconds per item).

I went back and looked at my logs for the last six months (to shake out any "on this day I was working on Xs, on that day I was working on more time-consuming Ys" biases) and wouldn't you know it...

The three days a week I'm at home working alone and not getting interrupted every five minutes by a coworker, I'm almost 20% more productive on average than the two office days where that's not the case. I know, I was as shocked as you are.

And guess whose employer just announced a third office day per week upcoming? It's almost like they're saying, "Oh boy, I can't WAIT to get less worker productivity! But at least they'll be collaborating!"

Quality departments stopped trending "Operator on overtime?" during COVID.

Yes, but have you considered how much of the boards investments are in commercial real estate? Selfish peons, only thinking of themselves.

I'm disappointed at the thought that the only metric for manager validation is how many bums are in seats.

That's a little too much focus on my ass, thanks.

The SeatSniper program doesn't start till 3rd quarter 2026

The term for that is "constructive dismissal", and it's illegal in civilized countries.

Any time there is a material change in work conditions, it is a renegotiation of the employment contract. You want me to come in full time, you're gomna have to pay me more.
