I’ll be the first to admit it: as somebody whose job requires little more than a laptop, a phone, and the world-weary cynicism of somebody who has spent too much time on the internet, I have frequently worked in places that many would not consider workplaces. From trains to cafes, to particularly quiet bars, I …

‘We can’t let our dog outside if we’re not on break’: Boss demands work-from-home employees text him every time they leave their desks, inspires malicious compliance solutions
It’s not always easy to monitor employees working from home. If you’re in an office, you can look over your lackey’s shoulder and see if they’re bidding on a Cartman pinball machine on eBay instead of filling out their Excel Sheet.

«Call in sick, take PTO, or get online right now:» Boss demands employee takes day off after an 8-minute bathroom break
There are a lot of benefits to working from home. You don’t have to take a shower, commute, or even put on pants to put in a full day’s work, and that’s not a reality most of us were living in 4 years ago. Remote work has brought so much flexibility to regular people, but …

Boss Slowly Forces Remote Employee to Work in the Office Full Time Despite Being Hired to be Remote
We’re living in an interesting time for working remotely. I’d say 90% of my friends are working hybrid or remote jobs, and only a small handful work five days in the office. I’m lucky that I entered the workforce during this era; the last time I had to be at the same place five days …

As a remote worker myself, I can personally attest that working from home is the best thing since sliced bread.
