That's not hard to do when everything is on a computer.

You don't need physical eyes on people for the most part.

Yup.

We use tracking software here for that very reason so there's no reason to use that keeping a physical eye on people as an excuse.

My job tracks us as well. They know exactly what we're doing.

Going back to your points about WFH, of all the great benefits of getting to do that, I don't think there's any doubt that the #1 reason why I love WFH the most is all the time you get back that you don't spend getting ready in the morning to get to work and all the commuting that you cut out to and from the workplace.

This is especially true if you work in the city and live in the suburbs as I did at that time.

I would wake up at 5 to be in the office by 7 and I would leave the office at 4 and get home around 5:30.

That was 3+ hours I got back a day that were invaluable. And what these corporate dinosaurs don't understand is, when you don't feel like your time is limited or like you're on this countdown in the evenings before you have to go to sleep and start the grind all over again, you actually work more because you'll devote more time to things because you'll voluntarily spend an hour or so doing something at 8 pm that you normally wouldn't otherwise.

Yeah, with that long of a commute, I can see why it would be attractive. Luckily, I'm only 10 minutes from work and the gym I work out at during lunch is a few blocks from my job.

Again, that's also true in the office. I can't tell you how many I've seen in the office who spend half their day gasbagging at a coworker's desk.

Hell in a lot of ways the company doesn't even care as long as their bottom line numbers are good.

And if the numbers aren't good they are going to come down on people. That doesn't change whether people are in the office or at home.

I think people are more prone to fucking off at the crib, where no one sees them in their skivvies.

I know an entire group of goofs here where I work who go down to the lobby of our very fancy building to sit on the couches by the coffee shop no less than 3 times a day for 30 min at a time.

Again, those types will do it anywhere if they really want to.

Well shit, I better stop posting from work.

You’re being monitored and measured.

People love remote jobs because they jack off even more than they would do in person. That person‘s real work could probably be done in a fraction of the time they would make it string out in an office.

I think there are far less people like that than you think.

Personally I post from my phone so they're not seeing that.

I find that most of these fucktards working from home have completely destroyed any sense of customer service

High tech, low touch.

See, fucking off loophole.

See, fucking off loophole.

All that posting I've been doing today is from my phone too...... While I'm in the office.

See? Same tricks can be used no matter where you work from.

I think you are wrong.

It is man’s nature to embrace sloth and fuckoffery.

Or, people aren't stupid and realized with the shutdown that a lot of jobs can be done from home with no real business impact. And then you get to save gas money, parking money, public transportation money, wear and tear on your car, and commute time.

Plus you can potentially spend more time with your family.

On top of that, businesses can take advantage because they can downsize the office saving money on rent and other overhead. And, because they now have the ability to tell people to work from home at a moment's notice, they can virtually eliminate downtime from things like power outages and snowstorms.

Are you turning woke too? Holy shit.
