Yeah I've lived the remote life and these morons bragging about it is how companies shut it down. Why can't people just be quiet and chill about it? Is there clout with it?
Yeah these people think they’re so smart for figuring these things out, so they want to show the world how smart they are. We’ve been doing this a long long time, we’re just not morons bragging about it.
The fact is, if we're meeting targets, no one should give a shit. We shouldn't have to fear what our bosses think.
Yeah but if you brag about this, your targets are gonna skyrocket. Not just for you, but for everybody like you.
I never understood it either. In my department everyone accepts the WFH days as “days off” but no one says the quiet part out loud. It’s even hilarious how everyone pretends they work at home but then know to not bother people who are on their day off. Even our boss is in on it. One time he told me to tell a coworker from another country to see why a non-critical server was appearing as down, so I told him no problem, but I think that the coworker is not in office, so he said never mind then he’ll do it tomorrow.
