The pandemic made it clear to us that our literal lives don't matter. Record profits have pretty much never made their way into worker's pockets. Wages have been stagnant against forty years of inflation and record housing costs, while shareholders and C-suites struggle to decide between a private jet or a second yacht. And climate change is coming for all of us. Given all that, why the fuck should we care about some job that has literally never cared about us? Why wouldn't we get to pursue some work-life balance, and spend what little time and money that are being left to us on something that makes us happy?
Plus the increased work life balance has been proven by studies to be more productive because people working shorter hours and/or from home are more productive then the regular 40 in the office.
"But I can't recognize it by looking at it so everyone must be lazy" some rich jackass.
Also, a lazy worker at home will be lazy in an office too.
If someone likes to procrastinate, you can't really change that via environment alone.
Unfortunately, leadership positions tend to be mostly interactions with others by forming working relationships and establishing trust so they see skilled workers who are avoiding work by chatting about non-work stuff to be productive team building even when done to excess. So they consider that not being lazy even if it is when done to excess for that particular position.
Can't talk about sports teams and 'team build' in the same way when working at home in their eyes.
I think it’s because they can’t pull people into their office and give them illegal or unethical tasks off the record. Slack and email all leave a paper trail.
Ugh. The number of vacuous conversations endured/overheard in offices about sports. And the insufferable adages, analogies and idiotic motivational speeches comparing sports and wage slavery. Where's my fucking stapler?
Setting aside how fucking stupid it is to think that way, people can still talk about stuff like that. In fact, they can now do it without even having to leave their PC!
No logic here beyond a bunch of loser control freaks missing their completely unnecessary micromanaging.
This is true. Ask me how I know.
How do you know
Because we're not people to them, we're numbers on a screen.
