Listening to podcasts and reading social media sometimes makes it feel like everyone but me has an office job
According to David Graeber, the rise of a type of office jobs he called “bullshit jobs” gave rise to podcasts and social media
I was a construction worker and welder for 12 years before I switched to IT, after seeing what a retirement-age welder looks like.
tbf it doesn’t help that a lot of blue collar workers insist on being fucking idiots and ignoring safety procedures, there’s a bloody reason you wear special gear when welding
I work in IT. I’m sure a retirement age welder doesn’t look great but I’m starting a gym next Monday as I’ve seen the size my colleague who’s retiring this Friday got to after 36 years.
I feel like I won the tech lottery. Every job I had in the past 13 years trusted the people they hired to work where they want, in the office or remotely. Roughly four different companies.
At my last company we were allowed to work remotely full-time if we wanted, so I did. Then we got acquired by a west coast tech giant and six months later everybody who had been working remotely was laid off. A few months later they closed down the offices of my original company and laid off everybody who wasn’t willing to relocate from DC to California. And then a few months after that they laid off everybody from my original company who had relocated to California. And all of this only happened because my original company was a very minor competitor in the tech giant’s space.
That sucks, what a awful experience.
I do remember that happening to one of my prior jobs and leaving when I saw the writing on the wall. So it may also be a bit of my own drive to only work for companies that has that culture.
The logical outcome should be that all workers in that company start looking for another work and leave as fast as they can.
Also we need to justify the rent of office space
Isn’t timing or limiting bathroom breaks literally a crime?
Since when has that ever stopped people in positions of power?
Every time they get caught and a big enough fuss is made about it… Unless a privileged billionaire stacks the Supreme Court in his favor

Fuck you, Brian.
Brian is in the kitchen.
Can he unload my dishwasher? I don’t feel like going back downstairs again
With Dina?
If Brian owns the company, yes. Yes he does.
