My company ordered back to office, and as I was told, I was the only one to say no.
I generate too much value and have tolerated being underpayed enough that they can't justify firing me.
I'm also not some MIT AI machine learning savant. I come from a business analyst/ QA background, and I have made a SQL/Java/VBA system for virtually free that does the work of a team of 10 every day, but it's just my underpaid ass running it.
When I lose this job, honestly, I'm fucked and it will be a nightmare because I'll probably need to go into an office, and I'm in no shape for that.
I have memories of FO3 being amazing, but when I try to start a second playthrough, it just feels like a slog and it doesn't pull me back into the groove....
IT ISNT EVEN CONCRETE! YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT BRITTLE, ROUGH, MOLD AND FUNGUS FARMS THAT DEGRADE IN NO LESS THAN 20 YEARS CINDER BLOCK.
BRICK, in a technical sense is concrete BUT EVEN BRICK AND MORTAR ARE INFERIOR TO A SIMPLE WELL EXECUTED CONCRETE POUR.
LAZY INCOMPETENT CONTRACTORS DECIDED TO SKIP THE CAST MAKING STAGE AND JUST STARTED GOING TO TOWN WITH SHITTY ASS BRICK AND POROUS ASS MORTER.
WAS THAT ENOUGH?!?!? NOOOOOOOOO.
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH. THEY NEEDED TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE THE BLOCK SHITTIER THAN THE BONDING AGENT SO THEY MADE....
30 straight seconds of visceral panting
DOG SHIT POLLEN ABSORBING WATER SOLUABLE FUCK ME IN THE ASS SNEEZE ON IT AND IT CRUMBLES..... ARGH..... CIIIIIIINNNNNNNDEEEEEERRRRRR BLOOOOOOCCCCCCK.
I just can't anymore... I have grown to cherish brick... who made cinder block... why?... why did they do this to me? Why did they make me not only know of but also languish in a world mostly made of... wimper... cinder block...
If only the sitting Democrat president could show the same sense of urgency about housing and feeding Americans as he shows about shielding Israelies from consequence.
Which leads to the question, and its an honest question and I would benefit from the honest answer: If I can do the job hybrid, why can I not do the job remote? Is it because you needed me to move some paper boxes to the printer?
I, at 37, am reaching my first professional opportunity to manage a support resource I've needed for 5 years, to maintain the data infrastructure I have built that has cut and dry made my company at least 40 million dollars in the past 2 years, but arguably has also saved the company at least 250k in manpower hours each year.
That resource is an outsourced individual from a firm in India who is making a slave wage.
Yes. Israel is conducting a brutal genocide and America is using the opportunity to launder money from the public trust to military contractors by giving "aid packages" to Israel, and then using outdated "emergency powers" from the Iraq war to bypass Congress broker arms deals.
This is all common knowledge.
Half the country is for the genocide of all brown people.
Half the country is outraged.
The entirety of the Federal government is solely focused on enriching military contractors so they can get kickbacks and campaign donos.
Lets be real here, Obama did not fix the economy, he gave 443.5 billion directly to the 1 percent and started the cycle of corporate welfare that has lead to where we are today.

My company paid over 10 million dollars for Infosys to implement oracle cloud.
It has been 3 years of complete abject torture, misery, and failure.
Infosys is an army of completely clueless, unqualified, and incompetent people on a revolving door.
It's like they make it a point to NEVER meet the requirements. They always find some convoluted round about lengthy manual process for everything they do.
I have gotten to the point where any time I am roped into an Infosys project, I will do nothing but ask to see the code, and therein is the problem, even their most "seasoned senior developer" can't produce the code because it doesn't exist.
They use janky point and click applications to "write code" for them, shove the code I to the oracle instance, break all of the existing code doing so, and repeat.
I did the Payday 3 beta. It threw up a LOT of red flags about the matchmaking system. I made a post reviewing the game where I basically said that if I were smart, I wouldn't be getting the game because based on the beta, matchmaking was going to be busted on release....
