I was thinking of it cause I actually felt like shit when I woke up, but I put on my big boy pants and went to work and here I am.

yea if you're hourly you need to put those big boy pants on

gotta take advantage since once you move to salary there is no OT and that means you get abused to hell and back (scheduled for 96 hours labor day week, like what in the actual fuck)

Huh? I am on salary and I'd get paid to not go in, but work's gotta get done sooo..

Welp, just scheduled a call with a client in a couple of minutes. Love how they always get back at the worst possible times

sucks you don't have a work from home option

Work from home options need to be way more prevalent. 95% of my job is just computer work. I only actually talk to clients about 5% of the time I work. I don't think that 5% (which can be done with a cell phone) is really worth having to be at the office.

My office is like "it's okay once in a while" or if you need to or anything like that. There is no official program, but it's like as long as you get your shit done and don't ask to work from home like every week then it's fine on occasion.

I could work from home but my company is a control freak who likes to control everything you do at work. They could let us use laptops and docks at home and use digital phone systems but noooo

What pisses me off is when you get all your shit done, you go to the office and PEOPLE ONLY COMMUNICATE THROUGH EMAIL AND MESSENGERS

Seriously, what the fuck is the reason we drive in the office just to do stuff we can do at home? That drives me absolutely nuts with office jobs. Especially when people don't even talk to each other in the actual office

Real world jobs are so fucking weird

I think the concept of working from home is growing...slowly. I look at company perks once in a while and I'm seeing that option more often as something they like to advertise.

My government office has like 50% teleworkers (or that's what it feels like). More empty cubes than people. Teleworking needs to keep expanding.
