Imagine being an op-ed writer for the financial post and complaining that other people aren't doing work.

      These people have never moved rocks for 10 hours while the homeowner sat and watched from the deck you fucking built making sure you don't take too many water breaks.

        Really loved hearing my watercooler friends point out road workers leaning on a spade for a second and disparage the working class, knowing they posted on reddit all day. Really sweet dissonance.

          It's only logical on every level.

          From memory, in Japan, there was a widespread practice of managers spending a few hours a week in menial roles. A good idea for all sorts of reasons.

      I don't have to hide minesweeper from my cat like I used to from my boss when I actually had to go in the office, it's a big upgrade

          I was actively looking for a new job because I hated how much time I spent trying to look busy in my awful grey cubicle, but it's tolerable now working from home. I learned my lesson not to work too hard at another office job, where my hard work was rewarded with even more work for no more pay.

      I had one white collar job that was constant work. An IT Helpdesk for a very large organization. Incredibly understaffed, and hardly IT. More like, babysit boomers who refuse to learn the tools of their job and move tickets for the real IT guys to work them. Glad I'm done with that.

        Oh I did something similar. My job was to 70% explaining the same people how one machine worked, which they used weekly and I wrote big notes on how to use it and glued it to the wall. Later I automated the need for the machine except once every year. Waste of life time.
