Not really. And you will be always a replaceable machinery. I look if it comes to a Job, if its worth to spend my time, for the Company and work for them if i get the chance. And home office far outweighs all other options. And made, for me, all other option pointless. I work to live. But i don't live to work.

@@your-username-here2308 Just remember, you're one of the few who get to make the choice of a home office. I either spend my life in open office hell, or crammed behind my work laptop in my 1 room rental. We are just drones, and you've been able to afford yourself the freedom of feeling slightly less like a drone. Good job, you're in a slightly less shit situation than the rest of us.

What a shitty, cynical, lazy way of looking at gainful employment.

​@@christianfaux736 You know as well as I do that any and every business/corporation gives no fucks about you at all. You are a piece of machinery they install as a method of generating income for the shareholders and investors. If you died tomorrow they would just get another human and you would not be missed. You probably hate your job just as much as everyone else. You don't go there because you have fun, you go there because you have to. I get it that you're at a loss of how life could be any other way because this is just what you're used to and how it's been, but don't pretend that a system that forcefully extracts a third of your life just to generate money for everyone but yourself (utilities, mortgages, car payments, etc.) is a perfect and flawless system.

@@GuitarOwnsDrums i agree. i also hate the idea that being ‘replaceable machinery’ is an acceptable default for those of us not born into wealth or luck. i do like the sentiment that it can be a mutually beneficial relationship… however that is dependent on both being lucky enough to stumble in to a job you enjoy, and being fortunate enough to turn that in to a career opportunity for promotion rather than stagnation

As an architect I can't really say he's wrong

I met one recently. They were so happy with their project. I told them that "it was ticking all the right boxes" I forget that my delivery can sometimes be so ironic that it sounds genuine. Their facebook post went live. I then posted the George Takei "oh my" meme... Given that this was a local council project, I'll probably never work in this town again, or get any grant funding... But still it was an Andy Kaufmanesque dedication to the bit on my part, and only a joke that was funny to none other than myself... Worth it, and I regret nothing! I think they canned the project... Not heard much about it since 🤣😂🤣

Exactly that. Two reasons that spring to my mind (there might be way more) is 1. People dont take lessons from the past and 2. People only see everything as good/bad/fix etc. these absolute terms and dont view everything in terms of pros and cons that should be weighed.

@@marianschoeller8764 3. sometimes things don't work that way. that's the life of a programmer.

4. I don't think that employers would have accepted any other new idea that didn't at the bare minimum either result in more productivity or fewer expenses. And when those two are the criteria you judge something by, then worker comfort will just end up becoming a lucky, unintended side-effect.

or maybe it is just that humans are not built for rotting away at offices... sitting there whole day dying of boredom minimum precise physical movement... constant stress but without any sense of anticipation of danger or anything. evolution didnt prepared mankind to rot away at office desks, thats it

I work in tech... Zoom has been a shit show, but now that we're doing a staggered return,we can work from home if we are sick and still feel well enough to work but not enough to come in (like cold or waiting for covid test) instead of using sick leave..

I prefer it but I also wonder about the impact on wages.

Not to mention that they aren't responsible for your rights. They are freely allowed to breech them by giving you insane demands and hours within dangerous buildings/situations. If you get injured, they don't pay a cent. And since you are your own company, legally, it was all your fault all along. This is all just a step back in worker's rights.

what’s this a crossover episode?

I've been switching off between your channels for the past few days and I'm trying to figure out how one of you voices both channels so seamlessly

I was wondering who this dude reminds me of,then you showed up,what a coincidence😂

They only way that corporate would switch to it is if it was profitable.

@@Darth_Insidious And for that reason, every innovation and step forward we’ve made has been impeded and degraded by greedy businessmen. Just look at the tech industry. Planned fucking obsolescence. When will it end

That's why they hate labor unions. Labor unions force the greedy pigs at the top of the corporate pyramid scheme to share their wealth with people who actually do the hard work. As a general rule, nobody who makes ten times more than you has a right to tell you your demands for higher pay are selfish or unreasonable as they leech off your labor.

that's because they weren't trying to improve. they were trying to maximize profit - and they did.

Yay! Isn't capitalism great?

I think hot desking would be the final straw for me. When I started in my job ten years ago, we were in a tiny, stinky, 40-year old shack. Biggest office was six people. Now its 24 people in a shiny new place with minimalistic dividers in between. Productivity has suffered, the "team" feeling is gone, and almost everyone would rather go back to the smelly place. Despite the fact that coffee is paid for by the company in the new office.

@@kain0mthey added dividers? Interesting. Most modern day offices have transformed into a very open plan, "friendly" environment. Almost too friendly, it feels fake. Everything always insanely clean. Seems like a bribe to have to work good, because we get free barista coffees etc. Only just starting working in an office 4-5 months ago, and already after visiting 3 of the companies NZ offices, it's clear that they all follow the same corporate, wanna-be-friendly/inclusive feeling

What's hot desking? You don't have a fixed desk?

@@blakksheep736 Yeah, you have to book your desk every day and you're not guaranteed the same one each time.

@@testaccount4191 glad it's not just the US

@@eduardoflores5705 well..... i guess every cloud

Can you clarify what you mean about Blair raiding pensions? I know that in the US, workers are forced to pay into a scheme called social security, but the government uses the money as soon as it gets it (as collateral to continue going into debt). The money is not put away into a pension fund, as was implied by the name.

@@1ex1uger-prank-calls he taxed pensions, basically killing the private index linked pensions. Although this is a simplification

spot on there

Tbh, its ideal if you actually run your own business and are a specialized professional. Then again, few professional occupations would both be in demand enough to justify opening your own business while simultaneously not requiring you to be in a specific office most of the time. Ironically, I think building designers (the bad straight-line artists) might be such an occupation.

@@nickstone1167 no, its not. It pays awful

@@nickstone1167 Nobody's saying gig jobs are inherently bad. The problem is they're becoming the new norm and they are least stable in income and employment security. Gig jobs used to relate to very specific professions or additional income side-jobs.

Seek out activities people are doing in online groups. For example, I think there's an uptick in people playing pen-and-paper RPGs in voice chat on Discord. It doesn't replace face-to-face interaction, but it could help.

Hang in there my guy, we will get through this!

get into video games and discord. Sometimes my friends and I work and/or study together over discord. We'll even have periods of time where we work quietly without talking for like a hour. It's just nice to know someone's just a holler away on your microphone. After everyone is done we will play video games or watch something together using the streaming option.

Watch out for Susan WOSHITSKI

I'm currently hybrid, 50% in my cubicle, 50% on my couch. It's a decent setup. I think I prefer 100% remote but the variety might be a good thing.

I've been in open office environments for the most part, and I'd prefer cubicles as well honestly. In open offices, it's like your supervisors are constantly watching you, and everything you do is being judged. If you have an illness or you're on your period, how exactly do you clandestinely slink off to do your thing when there are like ten people who constantly see you from the corner of their eye? I solved the solution by putting my meds and pads into a money-purse and then pretending that I'm going off to buy snacks. But I used to have a colleague who was type 1 diabetic, and he had a whole world of problems injecting himself with insulin before lunch somewhere where people wouldn't notice, and not in the bathrooms either. I prefer remote atm too because the worst aspect of working was having to commute for 1,5h every morning (and I'm too poor to afford an apartment that's closer or even a car). So I can get up at decent hours, don't have to worry about my shoewear or make-up, it's much more relaxed. Of course, there's another downside, namely video-conferences D:

Yeah. I like also cubicles because nobody can spy on me doing my dark evocations in order to slowly kill people who are adjacent to my cubicle thinly veiled as radiation poisoning too!

Enjoy the freedom, ignore the stigma! In a society where meaning and purpose are eroded, only the free man gets to determine what those things are. The rest are consigned to their fate of nullification. Let the dead bury their dead. You have the chance to live. It's only once we've lost everything that we're free to do anything. I heard of this guy who makes soap from his basement, while working two other jobs. He also runs something else, but I can't talk about that. Everyone else is a product of our times quite literally. You my basement dwelling amigo are at the vanguard of change, ahead of the curve, and from your dank basement you have the widest vantage point of our cultural miasma, which means you're the most primed to find the way forwards and into new horizons while everyone else clamours for the highest desk in a dark glass tower at the heart of a neon and concrete cesspit of flawed dreams and failed conquests. The lowest ape at the base of the tree is also the one most likely to learn to walk on two legs, weild fire like a Promethean legend, and evolve beyond their simian peers that squabble for their spot in the sun at the apex of the canopy. The canopy is their limit, the sky, the horizon, the ocean, and space itself is yours to venture into. The modern shaman on the precipace of the known journey, and the unknown void of uncertaintity. A space monkey ready to head into the obsidian, star speckled infinite. Revel in your times oh Promethean soul, remember who you are!

Hey, I found the smug guy

​@Patrick Ryan I kinda feel like a lot of that looking down is because of the idea that they're more physically laborious than office jobs, which...doesn't really make sense in reality. Sure trade jobs involve moving around more, but sedentary work is really hard on the body and mind in ways that trades aren't. Neither are great, don't get me wrong, but the divide between how comparatively "hard" they are is often not as wide as people may think. Also danger. I get a lot of that brought up when it comes to trades, but I don't have the statistics in front of me to know if suicide rates or worker-to-worker conflict causes as much death as...you know, getting electrocuted because JERRY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT FREAKING LOCKOUT TAGOUT IS. So I'll leave that one be.

​@Patrick Ryan Commercial's definitely what I'm aiming for, once this freaking pandemic ends, but that's more bc I've always heard that residential is a lot more rushed, and I kinda...don't wanna go in people's houses and deal with their landlord's shitty self-done wiring job. (Had quite a few cases of that in my own houses growing up. One house had one breaker for 90% of the house outlets. Each room was spread among different breakers, while another had several appliance loads that're supposed to be on their own circuit by code, all on the same breaker, so if you ran them simultaneously, it'd trip and fuck up the heater.) And also with high voltages, they'll kill ya faster, but will also throw you back from them instead of locking your grip on the wire, and they don't have the complacency that comes with "low" voltages. 120/240 has killed an awful lotta people here bc "it's just house voltage" and people don't take it seriously as they do those kilowatt lines. Also, best of luck on your goals! Always nice to meet someone with a mutual career interest!

Now you tell people what to do and they resent you for it.

Wait a second, you’re making almost as much as as an office worker? So you made more, when you just did what you were supposed to and went home at the end of the day. Instead you now have a business with all the work and risks attached to that and you make less money from it? Owning a business is mainly...office work, with more risks and responsibilities. If in turn you don’t make more money then as an employee, that would be my example for why office works sucks, but sure.

because surely then you will be happy… right?
