WFH exception struggles

Heard through the rumor mill they WILL be re-evaluating exceptions and it may be harder to get one.

It already had been made harder to get one last year so hopefully not too bad

Unlike you, who has to be physically present along with the lickable boots?

@a6

And nothing else has changed since "back in the day"? Why do you simple-minded sycophants desperately cling to this sole item from the past?

Can we smoke cigarettes at our desks? Used to be able to. How about ba----g down a couple drinks at lunch? Used to be able to. Maybe make enough to reasonably support a family as a sole breadwinner? Used to be able to.

Aren't we all supposed to have moved past "that's the way it's always been done" long ago? And yet here you are, simping for corporate and shareholder interests...

@aa exception can be for medical reasons.

@a6 Exactly

No one is forcing you to continue your employment.

We rarely had such flexibility for this long.

If you are so against coming to office, just find something you can do at your home

Guess what??? that’s how people got the job done back in the day.

Call them whatever names you want (fossils, relics etc) but truth remains the same:

Bad times created Strong people
Strong people bring good times
Good times create AI
AI creates vibe coding
Vibe coding creates bad times
Bad times create strong people

I had thought this was already the case since the start of requiring time in office post covid. It was always nearly impossible to get, and no surprises they're going to rescind those exceptions if someone was lucky enough to have gotten one.
