I feel like my job can be done half remotely so that’s preferred. But my setup isn’t necessarily the problem. It’s not just the keyboard or chairs. It’s like nearly everything that is standard in offices, including the culture. Just a little concerned because I don’t know how anyone gets used to this or does this. It’s like everyone has accepted being in very depressing office spaces for most of their daylight hours and is fine with it. Again I’m not expected to have a joyous time at work but the spaces I’ve been in are just outright depressing and it feels like the norm.

Not sure how this came across in the post but I’m not talking about being lazy. I’ve actually enjoyed many parts of my job even with the mundane meetings and documentation. I don’t enjoy the massive time wasting involved in most offices.

I prefer to be busy. What I don’t enjoy is the discomfort, poor lighting, bad layout, etc. Its like modern managers think that handing out standing desks like candy is going to make offices preferable to literally anything else.

And yes, I can manage some of this by bringing my own keyboard and getting a better chair. But realistically, every office culture I’ve encountered so far just sucks the soul out of me. A few months in and I’ll just be watching the time begging for lunch to come. I’ll go home and have two hours of daylight left to myself.

It seems like WFH is the option. I just don’t get how anyone does this without being absolutely miserable.

I hear ya on this. I think they'd help my experience but probably wouldn't solve most of my main gripes. I'll still check in on it though, thanks!

I feel the same. My back is always to the open room and it gives me anxiety about taking short breaks

It's interesting because I don't mind some of those things. My commutes haven't been bad, they're 30 minutes out of my day and I enjoy the drive time. The small talk is minimal. And with noise I just put in earbuds.

My problem is more the uncomfy chair and desk setup, the lighting, the AC temp, just the general environment is not a productive one for me. Those things inhibit my work. Even just using the bathroom and having to tuck my shirt back in so I can walk back to my desk annoys me.

I'm not saying it can't be, but work usually isn't "fun" or entertaining or whatever. I'm not saying it should or needs to be painful, just at least neutral or somewhat fulfilling in my life. I want to not hate it basically.

Try bowties. Because bowties are cool

I don't know what's worse, the fact that this is real or the fact that I don't know what year this is from or what year it will stop being true.

I'm going to call it whatever the devs call it because I want other people to find it and use it. Simple as that really

I think the difference between posting people's nude bodies for profit vs posting someone else's cat is very different. But yeah no you're right, it's a bad idea all around. I'm just seeing it from reddits position and I'll be surprised if they don't ban porn eventually. So not monetizing it is obvious at this point. Still a slap in the face. But I think that just indicates how dead in the water reddit is. They aren't profitable, a large part of the user's are there for porn, and they just pissed everyone off, and they can't incentivize anyone to post.

I might give them a bit of a break on that point because I don't know that it's a good idea to directly push for more nsfw content or pay those creators. Providing the platform with ads on it is one thing, but paying the people that post that content? Whole can of worms.

Especially since most of those subreddits don't verify that the poster is in the photo. So now we'd be paying people for a lot of reposts from adult studios and cam people. Reddit would rather not interact that way so I understand. I mean adult content is hard, I expect instances here to run into that if they get too big.
