I have noise cancelling headphones and am used to working mostly at home. Sometimes I wonder if I've ever accidentally ripped a doozy in my cube without realizing it.
I accidentally hit my vape when we experimented with BTO at my last employer. Luckily, I was the first one in and the back door was nearby, so I just rushed outside to exhale. Vaping at home while working had become my norm.
I mean I kind of get the metaphor and appreciate the idea of being the kind of leader that people can feel comfortable around, but there's got to be better ways of expressing that.
Sick time/days should not exist. Staying home when you or a dependent is sick should be the norm not the exception. Why is that such an insane thought? I fucken hate touching people's computers when they're snotty as fuck. Likewise, I'm sure they don't like me doing it when my own health is visibly worse.
Am I taking crazy pills or are people actually saying this is a good thing?
Jesus fucking christ you people are so dependent on the system you literally can't even comprehend the fact that nobody should need to be working when there's a higher priority like family.
Make all the "oh but they're easy to take care of/if the person wants to work/the company is a good one for this" coping excuses you need to feel good about how shitty working lives have become, I guess.
Don't bother responding if you're going to make more excuses why "this is good/okay", you're speaking to a wall.
American liberals are so fucking brainwashed they don’t even see the insanity of their posts. You can see it with the CHUD brigade rolling through this post.
You know, it’s considered completely normal to take paid time off to take care of sick relatives in other countries? And it doesn’t affect their entire month of paid time off to use for recreation?
Fundamentally I agree that work shouldn't need to be a priority in this situation if the individual doesn't want it to be, but this is like basically the optimal scenario. I wish more companies respected their employees' time and strictly valued results over the appearance of business.
It is a great attitude, yes. Some people actually enjoy work and do work of meaning. Some people also love their kids and want to be there for them. Some companies treat their employees with respect.
This is a perfect example of perfection being the enemy of good.
Allowing, even encouraging, employees to work from home in order to temporarily care for a sick child is a good thing. The complainers must work somewhere that when you take off from work, someone else just comes along and does all your work for you. Needless to say, that's a rarity and also sucks for your coworkers.
What you say is correct, and nothing of what you say I see in the posted screenshot. That very much feels like an advertisement for "return to office but just like not 100%, only like 90%, you gotta understand, man"
This seems like an infinite step up from having to be in the office for 60-80 hours a week just to look impressive, while accomplishing little after the 35 hour mark. I would take this lady's position in a heartbeat.
Productivity went up when WFH was pushed during covid. Even though there were fully remote companies before it. The only people complaining are the retail and landlords of commercial rental properties. WFH should be the standard now, there is 0 downside to it.
Yep, which is complete bullshit and I think most people now see that it's bullshit. It seems to be just the old guard trying to keep their grip on power.
