Never going back to the office

[sufi]

Nah fuck that
i do miss hanging out with my cool colleagues a bit
and we are excessively slack about attendance, timekeeping, flexible arrangements
but still
the thought of all that rushing about is dreadful

why would we do that ffs?

I like my colleagues but you end up spending more time with them than you do with family and mates

Although in a pandemic (speaking personally) I don't have any family or mates to spend time with.

 

[sufi]

i do
but i'm feeling like i might be ready for a bit of office life now the weather's gone boring

 

[john eden]

I miss the random conversations with people. And the A3 scanner.

 

[Leo]

John, are you all recovered and feeling back to normal? Hope so.

 

[john eden]

John, are you all recovered and feeling back to normal? Hope so.

Thanks Leo - I am recovered but it’s hard to say what normal is now, generally? I am ok though yeah.

Cant see that sort of thing taking off in my work. Privacy perverts will go mad

 

[john eden]

Microsoft Teams and Zoom and all this shit we rely on now can have surveillance and productivity monitoring and all that baked in with a simple update.

Flick Adkins, who is 28, counts some of her colleagues as her best friends. For three months, she has been cut off from them while working from the flat she shares with five other people in north London. She works for LRWTonic, a market research company, and takes a lot of private calls. She has to sit cross-legged on her bed, stacking her laptop on part of her vinyl collection. She has settled on 20 records as the optimal height.

Adkins’s now empty office has a ping pong table and a coffee machine, where she would chat with friends before starting her day. On Fridays, she and her 20 mostly young colleagues would go out for lunch and have drinks after work.

Flick's pre-COVID life sounds worse than what followed, tbh.

 

[john eden]

She’s gonna get muscular-skeletal issues and should make her employer get her a chair.

 

[john eden]

I met my partner at work. There was no ping pong table which is probably just as well.

 

[Leo]

What's in her "vinyl collection", you think?
