Bruh I’m always working in my underwear, sometimes I just have pants on over them.

In first world coutries a majority (50%+) of work produces no value(or negative value). It is not cleear exactly why. Graber said one posibility is that in a spoil economy the one taling the spoils does not have to worry about eficient distribution and thos creates a lot of unecesary positoons to increase his/her prestige or further nepotistic pruposes. I may be misrepresenting the vew a bit it has been a while since i read bullshit jobs. I also think the ritualistic aspect of work or school is very important to mantin the myths and superstructure of our current society. Either way working from home shows that most work is umecessary.

WFH is a direct threat to management’s jobs and they know it because when they work from home they can’t do 90% of their job, which is harassing and monitoring workers whenever they want. They are frustrated by this situation, being unable to do their “job”, and also know that they’re providing very little “value” because of it. So… they invent rationalizations for why everyone needs to work in an unventilated box and get watched/harassed.

These rationalizations are all based on the alleged “value” they bring to the work, like “increasing productivity” (they don’t actually), “keeping people honest” (lol), “knowing who’s slacking off (and might need to be fired)”, “keeping the team on-task”, etc.

I think a lot of these companies are getting very strict on WFH as a way of doing massive layoffs without having to pay out benefits. Definitely think :melon-musk: is one of them.

Everyone’s price gouging now, so I could see companies decimating their workforce which would cause delays and less production, and then raise their prices because of limited supply. Then blame it on “nobody wants to work anymore.”
