I hate when people say “I’m a plumber and I have to go to work, why do you office people get to work from home”.

Don’t you remember how good traffic was 4 years ago? Do you drive to clients houses to invoice them or do it from the home office?

    I have to work in person and I'm jealous of people who have jobs that they can work from home, but I despise traffic and the less people on the road the better for the environment and the less stressful for everyone who is on the road, so I'm all for everyone who can and wants to WFH being able to WFH. Everyone has different circumstances, and we shouldn't all have to share the same misery just because.

    i spent all of 2020 and 2021 stuck in traffic since my boss thought we "needed a presence on the worksite". not that we didn't, mind, because i needed to troubleshoot actual physical devices that could not be connected to the internet. still do.
