When I work from home, I avoid:
Literally the only downside is lack of socializing, which depending on the person, isn’t a bad thing. My coworker and I solve that by meeting every other Wednesday at the office for a couple of hours.
The huge irony is I only pretend to work at the office, at home I actually worked and not only didn't mind it, I enjoyed it.
In office work is 99.999% performative fluff, but that's exactly what "management" as a department is, so that's why they think that's what work is.
Management accidentally saying exactly what they do when WFH (and in the office it turns out).
It’s actually worse in the office. At the office, I have to distract myself from how upset I am being here.
Like it's easy to be a top performer anywhere. Just don't slack for 4 hours
lol when I worked in an office I maybe worked 2 hours at most on average. The rest was drinking coffee, listening to music, browsing the internet, watching anime, chatting with coworkers, smoking, going out to lunch and drinking. And really that was only a couple days a week, the rest of the week I had my personal assistant drive me around to do check ups on employees, which was basically me sleeping. I got my work done, but that's basically how a work day went. And if you question how I got away with all of that, it's because I was the CEO's assistant and he knew lol. I actually lived with him when I first moved until a got a place of my own. I will say the copious amount of alcohol consumed at that point in my life was impressive, but hey it helped me get over all the ptsd of working in education.
I work, but I end up with a shitload of downtime and feel like I am doing nothing half the time. There are days when I have literally just played games on my phone or laptop all day, at work. (We are all already across the country at different locations, in an office).
I get constant praise from everyone above me. As far as I can tell, I am like their best employee. All I can think is, WTF is everyone else doing at work?
