Fuck yes, and stay out of office politics and avoid taking sides with anyone.

Had an interview for an amazon fulfilment center desk job. It went great, I was a perfect fit, except they wanted me to work in the office 4 out of 5 days a week. (It wasn’t clear in the job listing)

When I asked which part of the job requires a physical presence it turned out none of it. Zero. Nada. They told me an employee must be an exceptional asset to get authorization for full remote work.

I got an offer, but refused as it was too much commuting. The recruiter contacted me afterwards if I would give it another thought, but refused again.

My last job was super flexible. I could work 1-5 days from home if I wanted to. It was great as the office was 90 min drive from my place.

So we get a new leader, who is super enthusiastic and introduces himself as best buddy/superboss. Fast forward 6 months and 4 office days are mandatory and 1 home office is allowed if you schedule it a week in advance.

Reason? He thinks we perform better, but the real reason was he wanted to keep an eye on us. Fast forward two more months and I was the third person handing in the resignation.

Boss man is still convinced it’s the lack of support from the head office which drives the people away.and it has nothing to do with mandatory office days.

Not sure where my method belongs…

I usually set aside the money for bills, set aside budget for groceries and leave some for personal things and entertainment. Everything else goes to the savings account.
