The walk to get lunch at the market. Sharing a homemade tiramisu.

What the fuck kind of life is that?

Look, go to the office, have fun with the tiramisu, just don't ever argue your perceived benefits of in-person communication in support of a manager's wish to force it. I'd much prefer if you would directly argue in favor of it being kept an open option.

I am completely out of the job market right now and I really fucking hate participating in corporate culture. Fuck all of it, completely. It can all burn in a world-ending self-inflicted catastrophe. A bunch of idiots laughing over a coffee about how they're gonna earn their share from completely unnecessary and actively destructive activities. Managing the company profiles of fucking sports commentators. Designing and turning giant sheets of steel into "decorative" fucking planters.

It's just so much fluff. Meaningless, unimportant fluff. And this is what we're requiring people spend 8 hours a day for the rest of their life on.

I fucking hate our civilization.

    Mate you sound totally unhinged. Sorry you're so triggered that I would enjoy casual conversation with a colleague while we try some new food together. My point was that a lot of people connect over shared experiences and the small stuff.

    I'd much prefer if you would directly argue in favor of it being kept an open option.

    I'm guessing you couldn't piece together the fact I only go in 2 days a week and explicitly mentioned to do what you want that I'm not arguing everyone returns to 9 to 5 mon to Fri, but maybe you can use this as an exercise in logical reasoning. Me saying there are benefits to going into the office isn't suddenly asking everyone to go back full time.

    I find it more unhinged and illogical that we see mobile game development as a more productive endeavor than picnics and naps, "You might be scamming addicts out of money, but at least you're putting in work and being productive!"

    Your apparent love of corporate culture sent me fucking reeling mate.
