which one are you?
@nixCraft I be driving a forklift. wish I could do that remotely but OSHA might have a field day w that one.

@avrin @nixCraft

That's actually an interesting idea. If you had VR could you actually do it remotely? Or is there something that has to be done by hand?

I work at a company that makes robot-assisted pallet-jacks. This could totally be done if you think it is possible.

@Sibshops @nixCraft assuming nothing spills then I don't have to get off, but straightening pallets, picking up dropped stuff, etc is pretty common.

now if spills would be decreased from more accurate automated driving therefore decreasing the frequency a driver would have to get up, that might change things but idk.

@Sibshops @nixCraft I don't think any of my coworkers that work on the ground would like it though, even if it was proven to be safer than drivers

@avrin @nixCraft

Ah, that's fair. Thanks for the insight.

@nixCraft remote but no online meetings, which I am so thankful for!
@nixCraft I m the one with blue shirt.
@nixCraft returning to the office has reduced my Zoom calls by 0%.
@nixCraft Hybrid. 1 day home. 4 days either in office or field. Wish I had a second day at a home, but I’ll take what I can get!
@nixCraft on the sales floor, no time to sit in an office
@nixCraft not pictured: remote has no pants
@nixCraft office, but 3 monitors
@kennethb @nixCraft So 3 video calls?! Or 1 call where all participants are halo projected in a virtual room? πŸ€”
@jbiserkov @nixCraft 1 monitor for calls,2 monitors to review specs,graphs during the call.

@nixCraft remote and without webcam and value-removing conferences.

There are ticket systems.

Use those!

@nixCraft I'm an Uber driver. I commute so my customers don't have to.
@nixCraft Its hard for me to decide which one. they are all so different and complex.....πŸ€”
@nixCraft Which one is the prefork MPM ?
@nixCraft I was hybrid and I would love being remote/hybrid again.
@nixCraft Does Irina Block use the internet so we can link her?
@nixCraft Every morning I join a teams standup call in which half the participants are sitting in the same part of the office.
@nixCraft so much this! May I steal this cartoon? 😺
@nixCraft Hybrid but I don't know how long it's gonna last.
@nixCraft I notice none of these images show the person's pants. The key difference!

@nixCraft

The one that sits in front a computer all day.

@nixCraft I don't know! Which one is wearing trousers (pants) ?
@nixCraft unemployed? The square would be dark because I can’t afford the power bill. 😳
Don’t know about FULL remote but Hybrid is just an β€˜illusion of choice’.

@nixCraft I’d like to see the take on this regarding going to the bathroom. When I was still attempting hybrid work (prior to the pandemic) the thing that finally broke me was the bathroom issue.

Since everyone in the office was adhering to virtual meetings or taking calls, either on the hour or half hour, everyone would get up and try to use the bathroom on the same five minute break everyone else had. It was complete mayhem. The line to the bathroom was dozens of people long.

@nixCraft hybrid. I can't tell you how much I love driving 35-minutes to the office to sit at a desk beside my coworker and be on the same Zoom as them all day. It adds so much to my ability to work.
@nixCraft
Yeah. Feels kinda stupid to go to the office to attend a video meeting.
@tvaziri IM NUMBER ONE
@chockenberry @tvaziri Well, take the R, E, T from 1, the I and R from 2 and then the E from 3. Go back and steal that D from 2 - and I’m either all of the above, or none of the above, hehehe…
@nixCraft
I must say that this is probably the best visual summary that hits the nail on the head. Me likes, says Grog.
@nixCraft last week 1, this week 2. Hopefully never 3.
@nixCraft @tvaziri The original is perfect, but I couldn't help but tweak the last panel.
@jackwellborn @nixCraft @tvaziri just add noise cancelling/closed headphones at the office. I wear those at home (street noise when window open) and at the office.
@nixCraft Where ever I'm working, I'm disassociating.
@nixCraft you forgot the version of this with pants vs witohut
@nixCraft Ever since COVID hit, I've been remote. It was "temporary" for the longest time, but now it's permanent. My coworkers are about 10 hours away from me so commuting in is definitely not doable.
@nixCraft Hybrid. Two days in the office, three at home.
@nixCraft @jerry Yeah, but at home I have nice big screens to see multiple apps. In the office I peer into a small laptop screen swapping continuously between apps/pages.
@nixCraft Part time remote; rest of the time parent, which resembles none of the paid jobs pictured.
@nixCraft I'm the one in the office, but there are actual other people in the space with me, and I don't use the computer to talk to them.
@nixCraft Gratefully retired, but I run my own businesses from my home.
