That one is pretty useless if you have an hourly job. Oh, I'll just leave the store whenever I want and won't get fired, hmm? And the infuriating thing will still be there when I get back.

    Then the advice is not for you, and you should ignore it. OP clearly said it's for people who work from home and never leave (guilty).

    You can't make bean soup if you don't have beans.

    OP did say that in this particular instance, and I may have missed that on first read. But this advice is all over the place generally, and I've frequently received this advice IRL, with no caveats or context, so it's not always a matter of "keep scrolling."

    I'm not doing what that article is talking about. I guess instead of reminding people that there are a lot of neurodivergent people not working remotely, I should have just silenced myself. I mean, why even have a thread like this at all if the advice works for some people?

    I do not know how "ignore the advice if it doesn't apply to you" could be any more clear in the actual post we're commenting on, and in my comment.

    It sounds like you're unhappy in your job and need an outlet, but being neurodivergent and unable to go for a walk isn't really it.

    Yes, that's true. You'll have to find a coping mechanism of your own.

    Me? I wasn't able to cope with having a soul-crushing job where I had to be there from 9 to 5 and do nothing particularly intellectually engaging. I quit without a new job in hand. What happened from that point on was pure luck though, so I can't really recommend you do this.
