Loser narcissist decided to chime in and tell us who she really is. |
Wait there are boomers who are middle managers? I am a Millennial, not even an older one (I turn 36 this year) and I thought we made up all the middle managers. And we LOVE wfh because we all have young kids |
+1 Do I want OP on the road? No- it makes my commute quicker and is better for the environment. But this level of complaining about every little detail is so entitled. It sounds like a bratty teenager. |
Tech has a lot of wfh opportunities. Look into taking a position at a big tech company. |
I am actually glad my doctor doesn't wfh. |
Normalcy is now WFH. My employer cut our office lease short and I now don’t even have an office to go into. Sorry you have to schlep into an office, but based on my peer group, that certainly isn’t the norm. OP has valid complaints. Being forced to go into an office is like getting a pay cut. You’re putting in more hours per week (commuting) and losing money on gas. COVID sort of let the cat out of the bag so to speak as far as employees realizing it doesn’t have to be this way. Employers can try to squeeze that toothpaste back into the tube, but it’s too late. Unless you have a need to be in person for a particular task, it just feels punitive and micro-managing to force people to do their work in an arbitrary office location. |
It’s called progress. You sound confused by it. Just because something used to be done a certain way doesn’t mean it was the best way or that we have to go back to doing it that way. |
I don't like working at an office either; that's why I work for myself.
Is this your first job and did you start it during Covid? If you've worked at an office for years and feel this way now that you've worked from home for awhile, lol. But I mean, congrats on figuring out that commuting is a pain, I guess. |
You go OP! I’m cheering for you. If we all band together and demand WFH then slowly industry will change. |
DH and I both have full time WFH jobs. Many of our neighbors work from most if not all of the time. We’re in a wealthy neighborhood full of people working in law, IT, finance, etc. I find it amusing how many bitter office workers on here trying to convince themselves those of us working from home are “losers” in our pajamas watching Netflix all day. Go check out the money and finance forum and try to figure out how many of these high earners are actually commuting to an office on a regular basis … |
I figured this out two months into my first office job when I was 25. So I created a freelance career. And people like you called me a loser without a real job for twenty years. Now you've had a couple of years of working from home and you think you're super progressive for realizing that driving is bad for the environment and that a lot of office culture is a waste of time. It's cute. |
Welcome to adulthood. |
Mmkay. Well, keep whining and having toddler temper tantrums. That’s so much more productive. ![]() |
They didn’t. Widespread WFH was a *temporary* concession during a pandemic. Deal with it. Put on pants, shoes and a bra (if applicable) and get on the road. |
Yes, a stopgap ,erasure for a pandemic. It’s over. Get to the office. |
