Is it because of your multi decades long mortgage? Your healthcare being linked to your employer?

i know, you're going to be like "har har jobs are fake and nobody works" but it's not really true. remote "workers" are never available, never responsive and produce nothing |

Date: May 10th, 2026 8:49 PM Author: umber high-end hall I don't know market definitions, but I consider ~10k pretty mid-sized.
Large corps always have employees who are less useful. WFH tends to amplify this predilection. They also tend to be the first to go during layoffs. |

Date: May 10th, 2026 4:04 PM Author: Cordovan slimy ticket booth internal respiration Depends on what kind of work you do. Before the pandemic I was at a startup in sales. People hated working in the open plan office. Sucked ass. You had to talk to prospects at the same time as another 6 people. Doing it from home makes a huge difference in your ability to concentrate and do a better job. Same with responding to emails, in the office I had to wear headphones and listen to super loud white noise to be able to concentrate. It was a bloody nightmare. Is that what you think makes people "do the work"? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5865587&forum_id=2Reputation#49878803) |

Date: May 10th, 2026 3:20 PM Author: Disrespectful locus turdskin Americans are far too scornful of one another now to resist even the most unsophisticated divide and conquer tactics, so what you are describing is a fantasy. There would be an equal or higher number of retards calling for your retards to be fired based on their demands.
Every prole doing blue collar crap and every wagie in the office would rather be subjected to literal chain whipping by their boss before they let another person they know get WFH now. Also women ruined it because because they are 10x worse about abusing WFH than men. |

Date: May 10th, 2026 3:37 PM Author: hairraiser twinkling location If you actually want to do shit in life for some reason the only “bad” part of WFH is the commute. If you were doing something that matters like developing the OOT remake you wouldn’t bitch about working in an office. WFH is fucking great for jobs with a lot of downtime though.
As for why people failed to demand wfh, employers just kept rescheduling RTO over and over and over and over again until it stuck. They were undeterred by failure. Death by 1000k cuts. |

Date: May 10th, 2026 6:31 PM Author: lake provocative principal's office main people I’m officially back in the office 5 days a week. But I’m probably in more like 3 days. I never go in on Fridays and probably go in half of Mondays.
My hours are also super erratic because of supporting global operations. And I support groups in a bunch of different buildings, so I’m constantly moving all over the place for meetings.
Basically, none of my managers ever knows where I am or what I’m doing, but they *really* don’t care so long as the work gets done well and the clients remain extremely happy. |
