I can't imagine being paid to act like I enjoy working in the office - eviltoast

Company on TikTok got ROASTED for posting this incredibly cringe and honestly infuriating TikTok about how there’s two people working in office during Thanksgiving in the USA, and it’s just the two of them, no one else is there, but they still have to come to the office. They thought they were really doing something here and going to make people laugh. But they are so out of touch with reality. Almost every other company I’ve heard of let’s people work from home during this time, but not these truly soulless corporate shills, of course. And they had the audacity to say that they enjoy working in the office, and it’s not even a good office with cubicles, mind you. It’s one of the open concept ones where there’s no privacy and you have to hear everyone fully…

    I work in an office cubicle. I am constantly interrupted by coworkers asking for stuff or wanting to take about non-work related things. Or I am distracted by other co-workers who are having loud conversations within 2 meters of me.

    I am probably 5x more productive at home than in this environment.

      Nowadays cubicle are a luxury. Open floor space is the new hell. We got extra bonus torture at my place, putting office desks right on the fucking factory floor.

        Oh yeah I’ve interviewed for a job like that. It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever fucking heard. “We need people to know the engineer is reachable” ok cool, but I usually take multiple walks on the floor per day and they should know where my desk is and how to get ahold of me. I need some peace and quiet from time to time to do my job though

          They need to be able to ask you a question anytime right away. Most questions are about the weather. Sometime it will be : I dropped this very delicate part then stepped on it, do I need to report it?
