I don't understand the issue. I can respond to emails from my phone, and the only people I answer to are the clients I chose. I know when I need to be actively doing work for them, and I also know when I only need to be waiting for emails to come in. Might as well use my time well.ย (6)

I love this opinion that is only unpopular on Reddit. In any other work environment which can sustain telework/remote work, EVERYONE appreciates time in the office; not only for actual project collaboration, but receiving and giving REAL mentorship. (13)

the high paying jobs exist in central london but it's still significantly less than the same work in new york
London however is fricking bullshit with cost of living and then UK taxes utterly screw you as soon as you approach 100k (up to 70% effective tax rate

The bitter pill some have to swallow is that if you direct your hard work into organizing fun things/networking it pays off more than squeezing out a little extra individual role performance

Every hard worker i have met (including myself) either left the company for greener grass or got pushed out by management making their lives miserable.
I suppose that is what career success looks like now though.

This is my issue too. I get my work done very quickly. There's nothing that requires me to be staring at a computer for 8 hours straight.
If other people got their shit together and responded to my stuff as quickly as I respond to everyone else's, we'd probably all be insanely productive from 9-5.
But as such, they don't, I don't ask that they do, and I work on my side hustles or play vidya while waiting on 15 separate emails.

what you do is stick a plastic knife under the insert key in notepad to avoid skype/teams timeout; usually after you do 3x-4x minimum productivity for the hour in 15 min.

Thia actually makes sense to me as i got laid off in september and now work for what is effectively a startup. Everyone is pretty serial about overall work productivity. It is crunch dev season for them though (taxes) on the plus side theres like way more perks and i almost doubled my previous salary.
Works for me. More money to save so i can retire that much earlier. I really dont feel like working until im 75

I'm currently looking for a hybrid job just cause I miss that shit but also want more home life. I would be cool with 3 days in the office. Heck I would be cool with 5 days in the office I just don't think I'll find a dev job that does that.

It really is. I loved working in the office cause of the social aspect. Made many friends and was able to schmooze myself up in the ranks.
Pretty much every other aspect of it sucks and outweighs the social gains. Especially if you have a family. I can just go out and socialize on my own time if I want.

I love working from home. I don't have to deal with traffic bullshit or force small talk and awkward grins in the shitty employee kitchen.
I can step out and hug my baby skn whenever I want. I can do other shit in my downtime. Its great.
Just go out on your own time to socialize, not the forced context of work.

The most socially inept behavior (bullying, harassment, gossiping, microagressions, etc) I've witnessed in my career has always taken place in a physical office. One thing we never hear about is how much I'm assuming harassment lawsuits took a dive during covid when we all went remote. It's very hard to get harassed and bullied remotely the way that myself and others have in an office. No one wants to put the things in writing or say the things on camera that they'd feel they could get away with in an office where it's all, "he said, she said.":

This is nonsense. It's equating correlation with causation. Guess what-most if not all of the weird homeschooled kids aren't weird because they were homeschooled. They're homeschooled because they're weird. Either they got bullied or otherwise had quirks that made it difficult for them to function in a public school environment.My husband's family was homeschooled. The one who had the most problems with bullying and such in school was already struggling-that's a large part of why they decided to do it. A couple of them that never saw the inside of a public school before high school were always totally normal socially. The homeschooling had nothing to do with it. Aside from all that, most homeschoolers get tons of socialization through co-ops and various activities.So your premise can be proved false from the start because your view of "weird homeschooled kids" is complately skewed and wrong. No doubt many of the people you perceive as "weird wfh people" have similar things going on....:

Are they getting less social, or are less social people choosing to work from home, and more social people choosing to work on site?You could say the same thing about the homeschooled kids. Some parents homeschool BECAUSE their kid has trouble fitting in socially, because of autism or something like that. Those kids might not get much more social interaction at school, except for bullying. There is zero benefit from being bullied. I would argue that taking away an opportunity for bullying might be beneficial to the kids who would be doing the bullying. (If they just find someone else to bully, then it's a net zero.) Less opportunity for bullying at work would be beneficial to the person and the company, because the bully presumably has job duties other than bullying people.:
