Antiwork

The companies just don’t get it. COVID changed everything.

So, my partner is being forced back next week after 2 years of seamlessly working from home. All preparations are in place by ownership and despite objections from everybody they are plowing ahead, Russian-style, into what nobody wants. Today in a company meeting, her manager was like, you know what, nah. She quit and announced she's found another job that is full-time remote with the same pay, on a four-day work schedule. No daycare necessary for her 2 kids, no commute, no gas, no road rage. Now the company is literally like the Who Killed Hannibal? meme scrambling to find a replacement. The most depressing part: Her manager's manager after hearing all that: “See the rest of you Monday morning! I'm soooooooooooooo excited!” Fucking psychopaths, man.
