Daniil@derPUPE What do they all have in common? No pants.

Jonathan QuistI work in IT, near the bottom of the stack, interacting with server hardware. 25 years ago, the ability to control the hardware was mostly a dream. If we managed to configure a server to reboot by itself, and could predict when it would be back online, it became possible to do some work remotely.
Then came remote console capability. Even if a server was down, we could connect to and see what was on the screen, and ask our "touch support" in the data center to go push a button.
Today, pretty much everything has fully remote capability for everything including power control.
As this progressed over time, the management response has been like,
"Cool. It's great that you managed to do most of this remotely and save us all time and money. So sorry you had to drive in Saturday night."
"You can do most of this from your desk now? That's fantastic! And the data center is more secure!"
"What do you mean, 'work from home'? How can we expect you to do your work when you aren't in the office?"

ありす@derPUPE Show that to the worker at the grocery store.
Yaroslav@derPUPE @Migueldeicaza The shirts of folks at the front should changes from one another coz it’s the same call on all frames
Derek 🌈@derPUPE This is all too true. However, if my job I do have to be at the office as I work with the parts and inventory. Other than that, spot on!

James Helferty@derPUPE This has to have been a Jetsons joke at some point.
Xavi@derPUPE my life.
Dmitri Kalintsev@derPUPE This kind of assumes everyone is in well-overlapping time zones

🇺🇦 Richard Gunther 🏳️🌈🇺🇸@derPUPE Except nobody bothers to turn their camera on anymore
Dreamwinder@richardgunther @derPUPE Not bothers; chooses.
Audio-only meetings allow you to have a reasonable barrier between work and your personal space, and it’s beneficial for mental health.
Don’t let your employer pressure you into always having your camera on. Take care of yourself first.
@dreamwinder @derPUPE I look at it differently. It’s a trade-off for working at home. If I were in the office, I wouldn’t get to hide in a private space and avoid seeing anyone all day. When I communicate with someone, I prefer to see them and for them to see me. I want to see their body language, their facial expressions—and them mine. Just like if we were meeting in person. Clear communication is easier that way.
Alerta! Alerta!@derPUPE As soon as one teammember is remote, everyone is remote!
There is no "Hybrid"!
Pat Madigan@derPUPE I just retired after doing remote work (programming) for most of the past 20 years. My conclusion:
1. Remote work allows you to be far productive, due to the absence of inane workplace distractions.
2. Remote work can burn you out, for the exact same reason.
But remote work is extremely effective, and bosses who appreciate this will have far better results than bosses who insist on having employees show up every day, and stuffing them into tiny cubicles. That is, depending on the nature of the work.
MikeZilla Minus One@derPUPE the best thing that ever happened to me work-wise - even before the pandemic- was the one or two days i got to work from home per week
alister@derPUPE big difference is the shirts - 'office' has a collar. otherwise, spot on
Andy Carolan
Lars Fosdal@derPUPE This is accurate!
kflanagan@derPUPE The only difference is the commute being longer. I have said this over and over. The DGAF
Dr James J TeethThe last twelve years of my life. All at the same company. Starting right to left.
throAU@derPUPE but no you can’t work from home
Jo D@derPUPE so true! I commute to the office 3 times a week, just to sit in front of a computer all day. Just like I do when working from home the other 2 days.

DavidB🍥@derPUPE Not gonna lie, I love online meetings. Especially the ones where I don't need to speak. (as long as I don't need to turn my camera on, that is)
