@TheZeldaZone I really hate employers that demand justification for hating the #UnpaidLabour that is #commute and suffering in a noisy, #PostPrivacy #cubicle where people feel entitled to touch, talk to, and generally interrupt one's work in a disruptive manner. (As in every single of these interruptions coul've just been an eMail or ticket)…

Personally I come closer and closer to just shout at #recruiters and #HR folks:

No I don't want any *"Office Culture"* and *forced-on "socialization"* FFS! If you want a Linux sysadmin feel free to hire me but I'm neither a therapist nor social worker for my coworkers or bosses!! I do tech because people are exhausing and I don't do Tech Support anymore because it's frustrating to deal with *'Layer 8 - issues'*…

Same with masks... I'm currently rotating between 3 different replies to the stupid question 'Why are you masking? CoViD iS oVeR!':

  • "I've got neither the time nor crayons to explain this to you!" (I really need to buy that patch!)
  • "Just because we let flatearthers roam freely doesn't mean earth has become less of a rotational ellipsoid!"
  • "Keep telling that lie to yourself and you may actually believe it. Just because you don't see Long Covid / ME-CFS *survivors* instantly like people *crippled my anti-personnel landmines* nor corses and bodybags lined up at the curb doesn't bean people don't die..."
