It’s uncanny, it’s almost as if removing office politics, drama, “team building”, and endless useless meetings from the equation improves productivity.
Who knew?
“we’re all a family here” fuck off
It also has to with the tyranny of distance. People end up trapped in shitty jobs that aren’t right for them. They end up in roles where they aren’t doing the things they want to do or where their talents truly lie. Economically, this causes them to be much less productive than they could be in a position that’s a better fit for them.
And the main reason people end up trapped in jobs is the tyranny of distance. Maybe there’s only two employers in your town that can really use your specific skills. For someone who owns a home, moving costs tens of thousands of dollars. And often you can’t find out a position won’t be a good fit until you actually work there for awhile.
Work from home overcomes much of this tyranny of distance. It allows employers and employees to find much better matches for each other, unconstrained by physical distance. And for this reason, shitty employers hate it. Shitty employers thrive on transaction/switching costs and employee lock-in.
First they forced us back to the office despite a mountain of evidence showing hybrid work is more productive.
Now they’re forcing us to use AI even if it’s pure garbage.
I’m so sick of these micromanaging, power-tripping buffoons. I can’t wait to retire.
retire
lol
we are not going to retire
For real. At best, we’re all going to become impromptu homesteaders/farmers. At worst, we starve before we can
I just straight-up refuse to use the AI tools at work.
Boss’s boss bitches at my boss about it regularly, but I do the work of three people for the salary of 3/4 of a person, so chasing me off would only cost them a couple hundred thousand dollars in recruiting, interviewing, hiring, and training my replacements and gain them nothing.
Know your worth and be willing to walk away.

Congrats! You’re too thick to understand what hyperbole is. And four highly regarded fellas upvoted you?
LMAO it’s nice to know that the younger generation isn’t smart enough to be able to take our jobs.
My comment has 7 upvotes actually 💪😤
You’re bad at hyperbole dude
I recall reading an article the first few months into lockdown that nationally, productivity was up a surprising 17% average.
I guess commercial landlords, micromanaging bosses, and the ultra rich realized it started to loosen their grip on the rest of us and we might like our lives a little. Every article after that was the complete opposite, and basically misinformation hit everywhere hard to pound out of our minds it was ever mentioned!
Holy shit this is big!
Are you telling me that giving better work conditions to your workers (and therefore making them happier) INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY?!?!
I
AM
SHOCKED.
