I'll pray for him anytime I please. I don't take orders from grunt workers like him. I hardly take them from the boss.

If local law enforcement hasn’t closed a road, it is still fine for traffic.

People are going overboard in their irrational fear of absolutely anything weather-related.

Kudos to you for holding the line. Come to work or take a day of vacation. Those are your choices.

If you can form a productive team with this methodology, good on you. (whatever works)

I don't think this line of thinking will last though.

Then why are so many WFHs so insecure and defensive about their WFH positions?


Are they? Who started this thread?

I’m getting ready for my usual email response of, “Just got to the office. It didn’t seem like there were any issues on the road so you should be good. See ya soon!”

If you ask me, work from home should be discouraged by any company interested in having productive workers.



Okay, but lets say a person working from home can be just as or more productive at home than at work. You still don't think people should have that option?

The office can be a lot more distracting. At home you don't have people stopping by then end up talking long enough to distract you from what you were doing.

All that should matter is that employees do the job they were hired to do. If they work better from home then good for them.

There used to be an instrumental engineer who worked at the same place I did. He said he did his best work at night. He would go into work at 2AM so he could work without anyone around. He would sent and respond to emails within the 2AM hour, get his work done and then be able to be at work from 7AM - 10AM to communicate with anyone he needed to, etc...

He also loved strip clubs so if he had to go in the field he would always ask one of the younger guys in his department to go and he would take them to the closest strip club to where ever they went (he often had to go somewhere in Mississippi right across the state line and there was some strip club in Mississippi he would always go to).

Anyway, each situation is different and whats the point of being in the office just for the sake of being there if the job can be done out of office? If the work isn't getting done that's one thing, but if I do my job and do a good job at it, don't worry about where I do it.

Real talk, I have stats, I have anecdotes, I have general intuition. You're fricking wrong, WFH is not ideal, and anyone who defends it at this point is either a newb or an idiot.

Is anyone claiming strictly WFH is ideal?

Look you might be genuinely interested in information that informs your beliefs, but absolutely nothing about your history makes me think that is accurate so I'm just going to tell you to go frick yourself. Sincerely. You fricking suck as a poster and probably as a human. I search high and low for redeeming qualities in every single person and you have literally none.

Dude you gotta relax.

This is nothing but a nonsense internet argument to give all the WFHs something to do while they don't actually do any work at home. It's not that serious.

I apologize for the harshness and am not surprised by any of your responses. Lash out if you wish. You are legitimately a terrible person and I might actually put effort into making your life terrible. Plane is taking off so maybe I'll forget about you in the next 4 hours.

Just because you put a computer in your bedroom doesn't make it an office.
