Remote teleworking is overrated

[Toe Jay Simpson]

I’m sitting here in a pair of And 1 shorts and a dirty t-shirt playing Xbox while half listening to some exec at home office whine about his computer

“Yes sir, did you restart your computer? I see…could you restart it one more time. This time disconnect the power”

He ain’t getting off the phone till I finish this mission. Dont want to be disturbed again.

nikkas talking about commutes? Y’all don’t live in the same area y’all work in? That’s really why y’all are miserable

Some people have 2 hour commutes ONE WAY to go to work every day.

The economy is So fukked up, that people taking jobs locally cannot pay basic bills anymore.

That WFH head hits different when you’re on a business call.

It sounds like your the one miserable though breh. Ain’t none of us complaining about telework but you. I could live 5 minutes away from the office and I’m still not going in. Why? Because I don’t fukking want to and don’t have to when I get work done in my pajamas, take a nap, run errands and pursue hobbies without dealing with annoying ass nosy white people day after day and pretend I gaf about what they have to say.

So working in pajamas is the biggest perk for you?

Dealing with DC commuter traffic.

We off that.

I sleep until right before an early meeting starts (get more rest).
I can run errands and go to doctors appointments during the day.
I can choose to not turn my camera on during meetings and literally lay on my sofa undisturbed
I can have mid day sex or masturbate with no one knowing
I can watch tv shows I’ve always wanted to watch
Cook my launches and breakfast
Be home when my son gets out of school, etc.

We don't work for Zoom so that point don't really mean shyt. Plus my job ain't got someone watching me every 5 minutes so I can go to the grocery store and handle some business if I need to.

Remote working >>>>

and it’s not even close.

If you need to go to an office to socialize/have a social life, the issue has nothing to do with working remotely, trust me

I do. Walking from my bedroom to my computer is a better commute than trains, buses, traffic and various weather situations, no matter how long it takes. The fact that you're trying to act like commuting isn't taxing no matter how far one has to travel is comical. My commute was at the most 45 minutes, I don't miss it at all.

I can do all the things in my home office I can do at work in a comfortable/peaceful environment, butter ball ass nekkid if I want, with the option of running errands at anytime etc instead waiting until I get off and using my own bathroom. Some of us don't need to be in an office to feel complete. What's not clicking?

I just started but I'll be looking at finding a temp office for a couple days a week in the new year until I can get some renovations done. I think having a separate/dedicated space will improve things.
