I will say, I’ve been getting a lot more useful things done once I started cancelling streaming services that I hadn’t watched anything on in months.

Industrial maintenance here, I try and give only Starfleet Estimates when management sniffs around for their broken-ass machines back.

DoomsdaySprocket , to Work Reform in Jamie Dimon says employees can go work somewhere else if they don't like long commutes into the office, thinks remote work doesn't cut it
