Sunday Can't Work Remotely
Open source transcript
REMIND ME WHY WE CAN'T WORK REMOTELY.
WELL, THE FIRST REASON IS BECAUSE CASUAL CONTACT IN THE WORKPLACE ENHANCES EMPLOYEE COMMUNICATION.
REALLY? BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FEEL THAT WAY.
IT FEELS MORE LIKE GETTING WATERBOARDED BY A CONTINUOUS DRIP OF USELESS INTERRUPTIONS.
THIS PLACE IS 50% OXYGEN AND 50% COMPLAINING.
I GET TENSE WHEN I HEAR FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING. I BELIEVE IT TAKES YEARS OFF MY LIFE.
I MEAN, IT FEELS LIKE A HOSTAGE SITUATION, IF I'M BEING HONEST.
AND THE SECOND REASON IS BECAUSE IT'S GOOD FOR MORALE.
