Which is funny because I own a Nothing phone and they literally outsourced all of the making of it to other companies.

That headline could use some clarification.

At first I thought it was gonna be an opinion piece supporting fully remote work.

Turns out it's abouy a company named "Nothing".

He is not wrong tho... it's the company interest vs employee interest. And I must say, as someone who works 100% remotely, sometimes I do wish we are all again at the office. It was so easier to know whats happening around you on the fly, instead of spending half a day in your calendar making or taking meetings.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So you can spending half of the day you save travel to and from work...smart

In comparison to the non-existing work-life balance in most remote positions where you are basically available 0-24? No thanks. I'd rather travel, the 20min in the morning is perfect to "wake up fully" and in the afternoon to decompress while getting home.

Pfft, I work remote and I only work 8 to 5. Don't let people boss you around

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nobody bosses me around, I just work until I'm done, and I don't need to manage my time, because I have all the time in the world working from home. Also, it feels like being in home prison, never seeing anyone you work with. Have the feeling some people exist only on computer screens.

I understand the benefits of working from home, but meeting other people in the office is what made it human to begin with. I miss chatting with people while getting coffee about non-work related stuff. I knew what was going on without needing a meeting or briefing. I could just work in the office on things I needed to work - which made it so I could go home earlier. Now I am just at home all the time, wasting my time in meetings. Idk, I wish it would work for me, but it just doesn't. I need the social aspect of the office.

Oh yeah, how I miss my co-workers have super sexist and racist conversations in the break-room /s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Not everyone has coworkers like that.
