I have the dumbest office job. I go in, walk upstairs to my office, sit in my room alone all day, leave and go home. I only ever see anyone when I need to go to the kitchen, or when I go to make a copy.
and yet it's imperative that I go in. My boss doesn't even work in my building. So most of the time I don't even go in, and I never tell him. Barely even talk to him unless it's an emergency.
I like that i don't have to deal with anyone, but it's so dumb that they really want people in the space...
the best part is, I"m kinda exaggerating because i don't even have an office space. I work in an empty classroom that they just slapped an extra desk in for me.
the students don't come in because they're still remote. The rest of the building is sorta used for differnt things, but have nothing to do with me. so either way the space is being used for something if i'm there or not.
honestly, at this point i just don't really give a shit. I'm on a mental health break from my previous employment that fucked me up. I'll deal with internal boring nonsense rather than emotionally and intellectually abused while living in poverty.
Yeah I'm in a similar situation, I got fired (likely for union agitating but of course they didn't say that) but I had like 150 hours pto saved up so my last check plus my savings means I get a chance to take a much needed vacation before hitting the job hunt, though I already have a few places I'm thinking of applying. Literally haven't been able to take a vacation in years outside like an extended weekend here and there.
it's funny because I work in the English as a Second or Other Language field and we always have to be like 'often times, "what's up" or "how are you" aren't actual questions you need to answer'
Could be IT. It's a job that is really important when something goes wrong, 99% of the time the problem could be fixed remotely or you can drive in quickly, but no one in management believes you can do it from home lol.
I run an english program for foreigners. I'm basically just fielding applicants and fixing problems for my teachers if there are any. mostly just administrative stuff.
the funny thing is, the teachers don't come in because we are still remote, but I, who have next to no interaction with students once they are enrolled, need to be there...
same. Phone calls and video calls and otherwise just doing emails and stuff like that. absolutely 0 reason to be in an office, except for the odd time i need to meet a student. which can be planned ahead.

Gotta justify owning that office space.

Ah well that's cool. Er wait no its not fuck.

so moral of the story, I don't have the experience of this video at all, except when I ask the building secretary what she's eating for lunch.
The other woman who works downstairs and I have the same conversation
"good morning PPF, how are you?"
"good morning J---, im doin alright, how are you?"
and then she doesn't even respond so I just walk away.
lol I've had this conversation so many times

I go into the office and spend my day in video calls because I mostly work with people from other branches of the company.
