rotor posted:it just occurred to me that this is sort of a worst-case scenario for all the people at goog, fb, cisco and the rest that are sleeping in vans at night to save on rent well, you know, as wealthy people they can just get a short-term lease or maybe decide the box-truck-life isn't the best idea after all and finally get a place

I wish I could just buy a monitor/keyboard/whatever I want and hook it into my work laptop but unfortunately I'm not allowed to plug in non-employer-owned stuff to it so I either just need to go without or decide to grovel for them

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

yeah they really haven't put it all together in their heads mandatory WFH and virus scare and infection control are all living in orthogonal headspace right now

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

my work doesn't have mandatory WFH still but I feel that's more because there's a good portion of people that can't do that anyway so why deal with the headache of saying who can and can't; basically you can just ask for permission if you have the ability to do work from home

cheque_some posted:i think it's just some boomer thing like, if I can't talk to a person face to face, then how is anything going to get done? but yeah, i did make the joke that yeah, it's a national emergency, but it's still important to have that facetime also lots of management boomers are workaholics that resent being home so keeping people coming in let’s them continue coming in

Well it looks like 580 still has a fair bit of traffic and I still saw a lot of the contractor-types headed out this morning; the great Vasco dragon looked a bit more spread out In other news, now that we have an organization wide wfh/shutdown, I’m pretty sure that the vpn has finally croaked
