      EDIT: I’m agreeing with you here. My tone was probably confusingly aggressive. I just meant to add the idea that managers wouldn’t even know if WFH was good or bad let alone know whether you should keep your full pay.

      How about we decide on what doing the job actually is, in a way that can reasonably be measured, and then see if we can do it better from home or the office?!

      I’ve always felt that the elephant in the room on this is that remote work highlights the incompetence of management. And so instead of embracing the notion that remote work can work well provided the work force is well orchestrated, they’ve embraced fear mongering around uncontrolled labour.

      A good desk (including dock, monitors, chair, rent etc) works out in my city to about $15,000pa. How about you work from home and get paid to maintain your desk?

    Because the office is an awful thing in so many ways. Perhaps nice to visit occasionally. But to be forced to live there!? Fucking trash society.

    Before work from home, I was paying $21 a day for parking to go to work. $105 a week. $5,250 a year.

    So that’s already money in my pocket, not counting gas and buying lunch out.

    Work from home and still hate it. Tired of the grind. Also found companies that let you work from home fucking hate work life balance. They give you fuck up hours and not even two days off in a row. Fucking hate working and hate work from home.

    Always wanted to try it and now been doing it over 8 months now and it sucks because now work is at Home. Were before had it separated and now can’t separate it.

    But no matter what is I find I hate work. Or maybe working for someone else.
