TIL: Some office employees make a point of taking laptops home every night to give the appearance of productivity, wether they intend to work at home or not. Office culture is exhausting.

I started a new in office job this week. I noticed everyone took their laptops home at the end of every day, and brought them back every morning. I worked my full 8 hours + (salary) and felt good about what I had accomplished, so I left my laptop there. I told this to my family, and my husband informed me that it is common for people to make a show of bringing work home to show how dedicated they are, even if they don’t do any work overnight. I am so over office BS culture. Why are we pretending to work overtime? Just to prove to the boss that we’re good little worker bees? I don’t belong in an office, I just can’t think that way. Going remote soon, hopefully.
