Probably more like "being in crowds cripples me and I hate my home life, so I'd just as soon work."

I work with a guy like that. He hates his wife so much that WFH was causing him genuine issues. He would call us just to be in a meeting. I used to think it was a joke until hearing her constantly nagging him.”you are home! You need to help with the laundry! I want the computer! Let me use it!”

The guy ended up quitting and taking a job that took him back in the office.

He would have been better off quitting his marriage rather than his job.

Well yes but that's a sin. Better to completely destroy your life and the environment.

Why not just go to a coffee shop, or work from a park bench?

Coffee shops were all closed during Covid. He wasn’t the type of guy to do that, either.

Jesus fuck during covid, not in the aftermath? Went back to workplace? On purpose?

Parks were open tho.

Life must be terrible if the only interesting thing you do is work

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Yes, not everyone has a great life. And some people love doing what they do.

Yeah I know I'd kill myself.

...no, I'd kill one of the people I thought were responsible.

Then fucking go someplace just outside the path of the eclipse and enjoy the solitude?
