Motherfucker, I want you to schedule meetings with me, so that I can effectively manage my own time, and not get jerked around at your whim whenever you decide that "we" should do something completely stupid. If you don't want to have to schedule meetings with people, you don't value their time.

What you perceive as "looking busy" is quite often me letting things cook a little bit when I'm at an obstacle (technical or otherwise). My taking space to think and make sure I am not just flailing around in a panic all the time or saying the wrong thing the wrong way to the wrong people makes me more effective.

But you wouldn't know any of that, because you're a chode.

I have never spent more time pretending to be busy than when I've had to work in an office. And god help the person who drags me away from what I'm doing every five minutes for "meetings".

There's so many of these Mommy's Special Boys who think their singular genius must be reflected on to others in meat space.

All hail the maladjusted narcissists and their performative office BS and the incompetents who cannot plan more than 15 seconds ahead in life.

When I worked in office, there was one guy who literally brought in a gaming laptop. People would sit on their phones all day playing games or scrolling through Facebook. Or take a half hour smoke break every hour. Oh and so many people getting up to go just chit chat with somebody else, not about work, just to talk.

good luck finding any good developer who wants to be forced on site 5 days a week.

If I have some shit I really want to get done at my job, I make it a point to work from home so I can dedicate 8 hours to grinding out the work instead of being constantly interrupted by people in the office.

Every post I see on here makes me glad I spend the minimal amount of time on LinkedIn possible - my work has a LinkedIn Learning license and we’re periodically required to take specific courses on there.

Burn the office down. Can't go into the office if there's no office. (I kid. that's a terrible waste and would pollute. Just murder whoever's pushing for a return to office mandate.)
