I love the insane mind games people are using to try to convince people that noone actually wanted to work from home 🤣
I hope noone is stupid enough to fall for it. 
@LukeAlmighty i hate working from home, legitimately HATE it.
@beardalaxy
Nothing worse then...
*checks the notes
Waking up 5 minutes before the shift starts, eating exactly what you want, and having calm work environment with noone bothering you.
@LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club @beardalaxy@gameliberty.club That's the selling point, sure. But a big caveat is that work-from-home prevents forming strong memories. I remember many funny stories from the office days and I'm far from an extrovert. The WFH era is all a blur by comparison. Nothing happens. :lepolface:
I have to dedicate a whole room of my house to work now. The company is saving TONS of money on office space, offloading the cost onto YOU, and you're happy about it? Not to mention it makes offshoring much more justifiable; we're all global, mobile workers, so might as well contract Patesh's team to work on this critical infrastructure. Oh, but since you can't just go into his OFFICE to see what he's doing, we need several meetings per day, all crammed within the short timeframe that offshore and onshore are both online.
There's ups and downs to it, but I certainly prefer the old-school office. Were it not for the fact that I'm getting paid sweet Californiabuxx, I would have jumped over to a traditional office job.
@bruh_momento @beardalaxy
What aditional cost is the employer offloading onto me? I have to pay my rent even when I'm not at home.
@LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club @beardalaxy@gameliberty.club There's things we would get for free at the office, like once-a-week free lunches, snacks, and drinks, which you now have to pay for yourself.
Primarily, though, it is the space that the WFH office is now using, assuming you aren't reusing your personal room. Physical offices would cost the company a lot of money. Now the company is saving that money and making you use your own personal house space to work.
@bruh_momento @beardalaxy
You are literally using a "piracy is theft" logic, but backwards.
Company not spending money is not they stealing from you. Come on man...
@LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club @beardalaxy@gameliberty.club I did not argue the company is "stealing" from you directly, but rather, you're being forced to pick up the slack for services they're no longer offering, which sucks. It's the same reason why I dislike self-checkout: company saves money while you have to do what they used to provide. It's the principle of it that bothers me.
