"Every year, CEOs demand more employees return to the office. Mainstream news
outlets run stories calling remote workers lazy.
They say it’s about productivity.
It’s not.
David Graeber's book on bullshit jobs blew the myth of office productivity wide
open several years ago. The elites have been promising us shorter work weeks
for more than a century now. We have the technology to make it happen. As we
speak, they're bragging about their new AI minions.
One of the most recent articles bashing remote work tries to make it sound
audacious that remote employees would dare to do household chores or use the
bathroom while attending otherwise pointless, tedious zoom meetings. Look,
Karen and Dwight don’t deserve your full attention if your boss is going to
give them 15 minutes to complain about the office furniture, do they?
Of course, that article even admits that onsite employees aren’t more
productive. They just find different ways to “goof off,” like shopping online
or scrolling their phones. The real ire seems to stem from envy, that remote
workers are capable of meeting their responsibilities while also doing healthy
things and taking care of themselves, like taking a walk in the middle of the
day or (gasp) even a nap. Ironically, wellness articles have been telling
bosses to let their employees take walks or naps in the middle of the day for
almost 20 years.
Now that they’re actually doing it…
That’s bad?"
