Well, the idea is that there are “levels” to being sick. In CA this shit would never fly.

I don’t even like calling it “sick” I call out for the day, period. I’m not calling in sick or calling in hung over or calling in for family reasons, I’m fucking NOT AVAILABLE for today.

This is the bullshit that wfh has brought and of course not all companies are doing this.

That’s what my company did and it feels a bit odd. Like we have no “home” now.

You actually touched on something that really pisses me off about my 100% work from home job.

It’s the fact that my boss can somehow justify that you roll yourself out of bed and log in. He literally uses the phrase sometimes “too sick to log in?” As a means of discouragement from calling out sick, or at the very least get some productivity out of you while you’re sick.

Name a job that would try this shit in real life? When you’ve called out you’ve called out, it doesn’t mean reduced workload because you’re sick ffs.

This is an interesting idea. I am 100% work from home and I can tell you all that it’s not all roses.

I have zero work friends, hell I’ve never met over 75% of them in real life. There is very little room for networking and skills building because I’m in my spare bedroom all the time. I’m glad I’m a little older but if I weren’t this would be a career killer in some regards.

I have to think about what I’m going to eat every single day (no running off for lunch) and I’m expected to be on camera during our meetings.

I have zero commute, but that just means I hardly get a chance to ride my motorcycle anymore.

I’ve gone over my internet cap once, and because we’re at home, the AC or the heat or whatever needs to be ran 100% of the time I’m telling you it’s not all roses.

You’re not wrong those are all required by law except the mental health checks, but even then you are prohibited if you’ve had an involuntary stay in a mental institution.

But those people aren’t interested in facts, only biased groupthink just look at how they show their thoughts with their downvotes because they have nothing intelligent to say.

Funny, both you lose the intended scope of the second anyways. It has nothing to do with crime.

Yeah these people think getting screamed at and not being able to use earbuds for fear of some maniac sitting behind you is some sort of virtuous affair that should be experienced by all.

It’s not Europe, so fuck off with that shit.

Like get robbed, stabbed, harassed, inconvenienced, annoyed and assaulted?

Tradeoffs indeed.

Because all things point to “capitalism bad” for the lemmy FOSS nerd social studies undergrad.

Same for “right wing” and “fascist” and every other piece of shit insult ya’ll use in daily discourse.

Shining example of communism, what with it’s Uyghur death camps are you kidding me?

See it’s this kind of blatant hate toward one side, while simultaneously looking the other way at your own beliefs, at China like some sort of shining bastion of hope that makes it obvious you’re a useful idiot.

Communism has never worked, but this time right?

Had me till the end. Its people even slightly right leaning who are ostracized.

Romans died from lead in the aqueducts by the tens of thousands in Pompeii so saying they “knew” is misrepresentative to say the least. They didn’t know why. Do you really need hyperbole to make your point?

Not extreme left but it’s socialist and isn’t consistent with American ideals. You can bitch about that shit if you want but we’re in the decay phase after a gluttonous society and you think the answer is communism? You do, you think everyone and everything should be “fair” but life and this country don’t work like that.

Unless you’re a lib in the workplace then you can say whatever bullshit hot takes you want, since everyone will agree with you anyway.

“Leave identity politics out of it” you do realize the modern Democrat party revolves around playing victim and identity politics? They’re not going to let it go now. Need more victims.

Same fucking libtard. Like I give a motherfuck about you.

Aww poor millennials having a tough time, what’s the word … coping?

Get a skill.

Thanks!
