I'm glad you take your time enjoying this. I don't xD *succumbing noises from home distractions*

I think most people here agree with you - it's just the latest weekly rant topic concerned things you don't like about working from home, which is probably why you've seen more rants on that topic recently.

arfro22804y@Jilano well I don't actually live in Amsterdam, literally the first city that came to my mind haha, I just don't share the real location in case I have to say shit about my colleagues / company 😋
Also, with meeting my friends I meant more like after all this crazy times are over :) don't actually do much meeting now -
theuser48024y@Nanos Yes this. Even after a month of video calls I still get infuriated whenever people talk over each other (that's how it is when you don't have eye contact) and the general call quality is down the shitter.

only downside to wfh for me is 98% of my socializing happens at work since im a lazy loner, so its a little lonely for me but i just gotta put more effort into interacting with my actual friends -
I think you can make a judgement one year down the road working full remote, it's too early to be saying "I hate remote" or "I love remote". Loneliness stacks with time

irene33954yDevelopers are thinking, “Nice. I don’t need to be there physically and produce the same.”
The managers are thinking, “Uh oh. The big bosses can see how little I produce.”
That means we all go back afterward because the managers are concerned about their job security. A software company should never have more managers than developers. -
@Ubbe So true, like atleast one or two day working from should be duable in our sector.

So everyone is complaining about working from home. Fuck it, I love it. My productivity was never higher than now.
I didn't have an office space before at home, so I created one. I spent money on it but that's good because this whole corona thing made me realize how much I don't miss:
- company politics, who said what said
- commute
- people bothering you in the middle of you doing something
- catching-up breaks with people I hardly care about asking about holiday I took last year but they "ahhh thought it was just last week! so did you eat anything nice?"
- answering forced "any plans for the weekend" questions
- participating in conversations about nothing
The worst thing is that I'm actually a very sociable person 😂 so working from home means I can go meet my friends at 1630 sharp instead of 19.
I just don't need those fake relationships at work I guess.
Im already discussing with my manager possibility to work from home most of the time and I think I'll soon start to search for something 100% remote.
