I sit around amazed sometimes that the rest of the world actually gets up and drags their rotting sack of flesh several miles into a office with other sacks and deal with each other for no good reason other than "that's how we've always done it." It's been 18 months now and my life is so much better now with all that time & energy I'm not spending going there and back and listening to other stupid assholes. Why do we continue to do this as a society? What a waste. *My job is computer janitor though so the joke may be on me all the same.

lol people have to go work in an office so they can be micromanaged about showing up on time, otherwise the manager would have to do their job and pay attention to their employee's work output quality and be responsible for firing them if they are poo pooOrkin Mang posted:what the hell is a computer janitor kids spend $200k on a degree with aspirations of achieving help desk status so they can make $15/hour and buy a mazda 3 to put their "my other car is a tardis" and "zombie apocalypse task force" stickers on. eventually they get fatter and shave their heads as they go bald, and maybe they've become a senior help desk and buy a mazda miata or a wrx.

If all the white collar people who could stay home actually did it would create massive accountability issues for management and piss the gently caress out of everyone in service/blue collar industries who have to be on a physical site to do their jobs. Besides if you're a computer janitor how the gently caress do you deal with things like some schmuck spilling coffee on their keyboard or not cleaning out their PC's guts for its entire lifespan? When you get mandatory hardware upgrades do you have to go around to their houses or something?

Really makes me wonder what the hell everyone else does all day. Edit: This is probably wrong as I probably put the not lazy line way way too high like everyone's Richard Branson or something mind the walrus posted:If all the white collar people who could stay home actually did it would create massive accountability issues for management and piss the gently caress out of everyone in service/blue collar industries who have to be on a physical site to do their jobs.

I worked from home making around 40k for a year and it was amazing, I did gain a little weight though. I quit for a job making 60 where I have an hour commute each way and I can easily do my job from home and my boss never lets me because reasons. I'm a moron for quitting that other job I could have lived anywhere in the world.

I'm a defense engineer and the commute to my job is so horrible that some days after work when I'm eating dinner with my mom she sits there in silence while I'm fuming. One day I'm gonna snap.

We as a society just don't have even close to enough work that needs to be done to keep everyone busy for 40 hours a week. However we also believe that if you don't "work" 40 hours a week then you're deplorable welfare leech who is contributing to the downfall of society and not a very good Christian either! Ergo everyone cares if you show up to work but nobody cares if you get any work done. Human civilization folks.

I don't work from home often since it doesnt fit with my profession but i do sometimes and usually don't get much done and am bored. I usually go 'hmmm my apartment is a little untidy, let me clean the kitchen so i have a clean environment to focus, ok hmm i have some time, let me start laundry, ok now i'm really ready to work, no wait i'll make a nice cup of early grey first, ok now let me vacuum, aight now I can work! but oh man, its such a nice day outside, maybe I should stroll over to the grocery store and do that while no one is shopping". Basically I have the option of working from home sometimes, I just choose not to since I don't get poo poo done. Besides, its only a 35 minute train ride so I can get some reading done and its not too bad. Xaris fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Mar 26, 2015 |

idk, why do you want to do as little as possible? (unless you're janitor salary). it feels good to get poo poo done, get recognition and see things come to fruitation. winning proposals, impressing the hell out of the client, and seeing your design being constructed (or programed if you're in IT) all feels really good.

well, yeah most office work can be done from home. I can totally do 99% of my job from home. The issue is (from a management/company point of view) how do you make sure people are actually working? There's a lot of office work that is kind of hard to put an exact metric on and it's still important to make sure people are on task and doing a good job and whatever.
