It depends on weather the job is stressful and if your coworkers are cool. If you're in a call center dealing with complains it's hell on earth, if it's just fooling with excel and emailing it's cool.
I wish, they are very comfy
>>220709978I work from home, but before COVID I used to work in an officeIt was comfy and there was always some fun banter with coworkers, also we played table football a lot.
>>220709978I can work from home 90% of the time. It's just me jerking off while responding to emails
YesYes
>>220709978If it's work from home it's very comfy
>>220709978YesIt's worse
YesIt can get a bit boring but if your goal in life is to just get a paycheck for sitting around and sometimes doing work then it's pretty comfy. Helps that the coworkers are pretty chill too.
yes, but I also get to do stuff outside and the coworkers are great. It's comfy.
>>220709978I had one once and it was intolerable. I can't function in an open-plan office where everyone can spy on everyone else. Felt like everyone's always watching my screen, and there was nowhere near enough work for 8 hours per day, so I was just sort of sitting at my desk getting increasingly anxious and stressed after 1pm.
>>220709978an office job is much better than the blue collar shit or hospitality
My job from 2022-25 was basically>walk in to see I suddenly have an 8am meeting with my boss>he asks me to spin up a completely major capability for our platform by the end of the week>tell him we don't have the resources, I need a team of engineers behind me, what he wants to do is against regulations or outright illegal, etc.>he tells me to figure it out and get it done or elseThis was hell on earth and I nearly drank myself to death, thankfully I eventually came in reeking of alcohol too many times so they fired meNow I have a new job that pays more>walk into office at 8am>boss tells me he has something super vital for me to do and he'll walk me through it after lunch>Turns out he just wants me to put a XLOOKUP into an Excel spreadsheet>Gives me until the end of the week to do itThis is much better but still hellish in that I have to spend all day pretending to do things when I don't have any tasks. If it were WFH it would be heaven on earth.
>>220709978regular office jobs like you see in the movies don't exist these days
>>220709978I will try not to specify anything about my job.I'm not a programmer or anything like that, just knowledgeable enough around 'puters. I babysit the machine.I see what shit needs to be done trough a reports system and relay it to actual tech savvy guys. Pic related is literally my average experience
>>220726849>>220709978I don't care if this kind of humor is soypilled o algo this other pic describes perfectly the everyday of a tech bureaucrat and it happens so often it hurts
>>220726982keked from the picture

>>220709978i've been working remotely as a code monke for almost 6 years now, i can't stand it anymore tm
>>220709978Bad management can make any job suck ass. It's a fact of life.
>>220730545what's your degree (assuming you have one)
>>220709978It’s nice since I make a lot of money. We often have no work to do, so I’ll just start posting here or use YouTube.
>>220709978It's not that miserable, I enjoy it. I had sole manual labor jobs before and it was so exhausting. I prefer office over manual labor any day
Try being a UK warehouse slave.
I worked both manual and office jobs. Office work is more relaxing but a bit soul-crushing and it never really leaves you mentally, you go home still thinking about your job, the projects you're on and what needs to be done.Manual labor is physically harder (used to work in a warehouse for a pharmaceutical company) but you leave the job behind when you're done, it's very freeing and relaxing.
Lab work is the best because it combines the advantages of office and manual labor with none of the drawbacks.And you can wear a lab coat around.
my family’s pushing me into an office job, but it looks like adult daycare, sitting in a meat freezer box all day and pretending it matters. i’d rather do something that is actually tangible and real
