A recruiter today told me that almost all of her clients are onsite, some of them six days a week. And the employees like it, she said, because they're mostly young and miss socializing after COVID.

I think I responded with something like "capitalist hell scape" and the call ended shortly after.

I'm in my 40s and I do not like wfh. I don't have the discipline, there's too many distractions.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 hours ago

Yeah I get that. Sometimes I do wonder if I'd be equally distracted in an office, but just in a different way.

That being said I hate that companies with offices dont just let that be a choice??? like I bet office work would be more distracting and stuff if it was stuffed full of people who may not want to be there versus quiet with the people who do wanna be there

You're the exception. Nothing stopping you from going to the office 5 days a week, have fun

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

That's likely true for some people, or falsely believed to be true, but that doesn't justify the immense costs of going into an office for most people. Two hours a day, unpaid, just gone. Environmental damage from all the transit. Wasted energy from the bullshit most offices do- TVs on no one watches, AC keeping empty rooms at 62f, etc. Increased exposure for diseases. All the lost productivity from people who don't work better in an office.

Maybe you could get a local coworking space? My old boss did that because he found it hard to focus in his home with the dog and kid.

I sometimes think that, but then I go in to the office and discover I'm just as distractable there, but the things I distract myself with there are a lot more miserable and unproductive, like "Hacker" "News", as compared to doing dishes.

Nah, I'm not doing anything worthwhile. I just wind up playing with my phone or something. Being in a more public space helps keep me at least a bit more accountable.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

no, see... like... shoulder-grab getting to "fuck off" more and being less "accountable" is only of benefit to you.

unless you're doing revolutionary work or feeding/housing the hungry/unhoused, why would you want to work 8 straight? why would you want to be away from home? why in the heck would you want be more productive?

your difficulty focusing when you're at home is your body telling you to purge your brainworms

[–] [email protected] 0 points 14 hours ago

Because I'm working on my honours and I want to actually pass;) no, I get where you're coming from, but post-revolution productivity is good praxis, and pre-revolution staying employed is good for my ability to stay housed.
