Same, but after working from home for the past few years there's no way I'd take a job at an office.
WFH > Office cubicle > Open plan chaos
Open office is basically the company treating its employees with all the consideration they would afford to cattle.
Sweat shop.
Right! I was like wait you guys get cubicles?!
Exactly. I wouldn't mind that at all. Instead I have open space with one desk close to one another and people around me have meetings all day long and they just talk to somebody constantly. There are not enough conference rooms for everyone, so there's nothing one could do about it. It annoys me so much that I prefer to stay at home to work, even though I would definitely prefer office if it just wasn't so noisy and annoying.
Yeah, at least you can sleep without anyone knowing
I'm pretty sure that's code for "understaffed and lots of unpaid overtime".
unpaid overtime is such a mind boggling concept to me, if you don't pay me i'm.. not working? like, that's how employment works
💯
Where can I apply for such companies? I'd rather have this office than the open office crap we get these days.
Right? It was a real meme talking shit about cubicles as white collar prisons. How horribly horribly wrong they were. It's open offices that are the 9th stage of hell as far as I'm concerned.

Why do people capitalize Random words in their sentences these days?
My Favorite Is People That Capitalize The First ~~Word~~ Letter Of Every ~~Letter~~ Word For No Reason.
First word of every letter?
Also I believe this is because some text fields are accidentally recognized as name inputs? It seems to happen automatically for my friends sometimes.
I think I was so focused on making sure to capitalize correctly that I got scrambled.
Is this Neo's desk?
With that chair? No, thanks. My back is hurting just by looking at it. Nothing like laying on the couch at home while working.
High ~~paced~~ blood pressure, from all the sedentary work
Why is the desk at bar height. I hate it
Fucking 9-5 HR people needs to understand what 9-5 is.
I'm not sure I've ever worked a 9-5 honestly. Always 8-5, 8:30-5:30, or random other 9 hour (or more, worked 3/12.5 once) days. If we can't get rid of the 40 hour week I guess I'd prefer 4 10s, but 4 8s would be better.
Don't forget to put those new cover sheets on your TPS reports.
My only real qualm is the chair could be nicer. Still nicer than a lot of the chairs where I work.
