i'm still coming to the office because wfh is too lonely and i will just end up smoking weed all day also i am "not allowed" to use my far superior personal laptop to vpn in, they only want company computers on the company network. unless your computer is a phone, then it can be on the network and it's fine. i tried to convince IT that this didn't make sense, i could have jailbroken my phone and have root and be doing god knows what on your network, but they aren't buying it

the solution there is to lock down your phone via MDM or not allow it on the network. the solution is not to let your personal computer on the network.

maybe it’s because i’m so used to working from home that this hadn’t sunk in for me yet. i just realized my options on the weekends are going to rapidly become more limited while the weather is simultaneously getting better and it’s going to make me go crazy

I still haven't made a conclusion on WFH yet; definitely need to improve ergo, but being able to listen to music and have an open window and hang out with cats and having access to home niceties is good

PIZZA.BAT posted:dude at least haul in the free checks until this blows over and you have to go back in I know the smart thing to do is coast. putting forth the minimum necessary effort just drives me fuckin nuts unfortunately. if I'm going to not work I want to actually be free of obligations. I was planning on quitting very soon anyway, this just motivated me to accelerate my schedule slightly.

I would coast just because if I quite work with no continuance to another job, I'd just devise tasks for myself to do instead, which likely wouldn't generate any income but then id never want to go back to work

it'll be funny to see what happens after a month or two of mandated wfh with probably no productivity loss middle management hates wfh because they like control and think it's necessary for productivity but once the execs figure out they can actually get away with not paying for a physical plant....

i think the idea that there'll be no productivity loss is a little optimistic but it'll deffo be an interesting experiment. In my heart I know that the productivity losses won't be much but my heart is often wrong as hell.

I'm on my third "mobile friendly" job and I'd estimate there's probably a 10-15% drag on business as usual but it's worth it IMO and fewer people bail at critical times example: my company doesn't do MLK day but schools and daycare sure do. if someone couldn't work remotely and watch their kids they'd probably just take the day off
