i feel like a lot of discussion around work is centered around the fact that it is supposed to be miserable? some people think it's literally punitive; if it sucks it's your fault for not getting a better one.
like, there's such an overwhelming facade — how are people still cool with the facade?? it's 2023 and i read a post on here the other day about how someone was acting “”childish”” and “”entitled”” for sitting at a desk with a window. i mean my god, we're all human beings, allegedly! at what point are we going to stop caring about this?
and the WFH discussion is insane — it is impossible to gain any headway, because all the standard office drudgery is married to the sort of corporate bullshit language that dominates these discussions.
maybe the most important thing isn't productivity! maybe being comfortable at home and getting distracted and doing chores is actually better because we are human beings with lives and desires that go beyond corporate manifests!!
it seemed like after 2020 maybe human society could radically change; instead of selling our souls and commuting forever [because of course this made up office concept from 1920 is the most ideal setup possible, forever and ever] we could regain our lives! but no, it's just being reeled back in, kicking and screaming, because some fucking execs gambled on office building stock [isn't this just pure scum? isn't this basically betting on little league baseball?? trying to passively profit off of fucking office construction, holy shit. vampiric.]
