    Is the job to be interacting with a computer for the entire duration of your shift? Fuck this incentive structure that requires people to fake touching their computer parts to show that work is being done.

      in my previous job i lost the privilege to work from home because my boss told me i am “tickling my girlfriend and not working”. when in reality my job was so easy i could do all of it in about 2 hours, so i left a magnet holding down space bar to keep the pc from sleeping. of course they had taken screenshots and could tell that pretty much nothing was being done for the whole day. so then i had to drive 40km every day to do the exact same thing in the office.

        They let you tickle your girlfriend at the office? That’s pretty progressive!

          i doubt they would’ve allowed tickling there either, but thats how we ended up together. she was my colleague.
