Whatever, jerk. A lot of us didn’t “choose” our positions. I’m talking about the non-management people that are basically in their positions because they were surplused there. I’m not envious, I’m upset at the way we are being treated, as you would be. Troll.
Whomever is saying things like they are having a life of leisure while working from home or only trying to mess things up for people who can work from home. It's very pathetic to be envious and try to mess things up for others just because you hate the job you chose for yourself. Just like when working from a physical location you are expected to work, make numbers and be engaged. So trolls stop the BS. If you dont like your situation. quit and find an at home job as there are plenty available

Meanwhile those of us at the office are constantly being threatened with our jobs and infractions against the COBC if we do not follow these crazy Covid rules. So while you’re enjoying your pools, extra walks, time with your family, and video games those of us in the office are having to cover our faces, lather in sanitizer, not allowed to socialize and not given any consideration each time a new positive Covid case is discovered. We’ve had multiple diagnosis in our office but all they do is wave it off. Enjoy your time away from “work”!

US employees spending an extra 3 hours working during the COVID-19 mandated remote work

I'm a software engineer and so far it has been great. I'm very fast at what I do, so I basically only about 3 hours a day, which equivalent to quality work of that put in 10 hours a day. I basically watch TV at home (Direct or course), just played some Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man on my home arcade machines (yeah I make quite a lot of money). I should get back and answer a few emails just so they think I'm online. But otherwise it's great so far.
As good as Accenture offshored jobs, Temporary 1-3 years Max.
It's great. Been out in my pool all morning, going for a bike ride in a few mins. Great set up.
