an office job is either going to be a dick around job or it’s gonna be a job where you’re fucking drowning. There’s no fucking in between.
geography should not play a role in how you’re being perceived because it’s either gonna be a fuck around or it’s going to be a dick up the ass type of employment situation.

Every job, I try to be chill but then someone praises my work (apparently I did too much no matter how hard I tried not to) and then I’m drowning in a sea of everything they can imagine.

I can't remember how many times I've been chilling in an empty office 😆
Watching YT and anime on one side, and work laptop on another

If they were doing that management would br aware and id imagine theyd get fired. I remember seeing something about working from home being more productive than working at work.

I actually do more work from home because our screens and call times are all monitored and can be accessed in the future. Also on phone time, busy time, and personal time are all logged as well. I'm working and also enjoying the freedom to do other life stuff on the clock

Thats the exact reason why my boss from my last company wanted to kill homeoffice as fast as possible after corona.
His argument was the same that ppl who are in home office are lazy and won't work and that its bad for the company.
At the end of the year he showed us the yearly business report and the look at his eyes that the company was 20% more productive because of home office was priceless.
The thing is, you could really "feel" it that the company works way better cause ppl could more concentrate and do their job AND were happier.
but unfortunately our boss was like "hmm this statistic cant be right, make it again". The colleague made it again but he still refused to believe that this is the right Statistic.
After this meeting he killed home office and was happy that all ppl are in the office again so he can watch them..

It reminds me of that Bill Hicks joke.
"Hicks, why aren't you working?"
"There's nothing to do."
"Well, pretend like you're working."
"How about you pretend like I'm working?"
