i thought this was @fullstackcircus posting this, from the clown emoji in the tags.

@SidTheITGuy had you there 🤡

@soull00t You may get copyright striked by him. He's desperate for money these days anyway.

I can relate. Go to office, attend meetings over MS teams, get back from office, attend meetings over zoom.

In fairness, there's sometimes *weird* tax rules that make this concern genuine. The UK has a whole bunch that make this a nightmare. They're not insurmountable, but a lot of the payroll software companies tend to use can't handle it - and replacing that is often risky and expensive, so it doesn't happen.

In general though, it's just companies on a power trip.
