OP you have some strange ideas. You think it's better for workers to wait for their money? Why? If this were me and I wanted to paid at the end of the month I could just pay into a savings account daily and collect interest.

Yes daily pay is associated with casual work, like labouring. Some people struggle to turn up for work reliably. At least with this they get paid when they do. Better than zero hours contracts.

TBH it sounds like you're doing this on hard mode. I use and recommend a Roku streaming stick (which does support netflix 4k) and jellyfin. You're using proxmox so you've already accepted a proprietary component to your stack. Unless you are using the PC in your tv cabinet as a PC, it will be sub-optimal as a client device for streaming services via TV compared to a Roku or equivalent.

It’s absolutely about control. Example. I did a short spell at a hedge fund earlier this year and they were hyper-focussed about staff being onsite. Didn’t even have seating in the kitchen or a dining area. Just bank after bank of fixed desks with people yelling at each other on video calls to other people in the same office. Control, control, control.

In this particular case, a combination of factors:

  • The company must ensure that all work-related communications for the traders (the people directing billions for the organisation and its customers) are recorded, not just recording all phone calls and emails, literally everything. They like to have these people work onsite for this because of course nobody can ever be trusted and nobody ever goes to lunch…
  • Management is all boomers - literally can’t get their heads around remote work. They think that if you aren’t in the office suffering then you are skiving. It’s literally about an identity and conformity.
  • Management is completely focussed on traders - 'if they all have to be here then so must everyone else’
  • They pay exceptionally well. Absolutely a horrible environment but if you move the needle at a hedge fund then they will pay you more than any other type of employer.
