They could give me a private office or even cube instead of open plan bullshit. That would make me feel much more like I was at home than this. There's a mental load to sitting in a big room with unfriendly eyes on you for 8 hours.
THIS. And also there's a big mental load to actually getting to the office. IDK how the bourgeois press is this out of touch, our problem with demanding we go to the office clearly isn't the lack of fancy furniture in the office
If I'm not being compensated for time and money spent commuting I'm being ripped off. If I must be in the office I should be paid for the time in transit because I wouldn't be in transit if not as a condition of employment
So many days I'm excited to be off work because I wanted to, like, play a video game or watch a tv show only to finally get home and only then be too tired to do anything but scroll for 15 minutes
Don't you think it's more gaslighting, signalling for "the big other" that people aren't really displeased with capitalism, it's actually this other transitory thing. No need to look or think any more deeply!
That's the point and the reason they want you there, they want you to feel watched 24/7 and pressured to work non-stop
Despite having half a decade now of studies coming out that show people work worse like that
They work worse but are less likely to act up socially or politically because we’re so exhausted and burnt out from office BS.
Every time I’m on the phone I like to leave a building, or at least room. If I’m writing something up or whatever I can’t stand it if someone’s looking over my shoulder. There’s no way I could handle an open plan office or even a cube.
