This is why they can pry my ability to work from home from my cold, dead hands.

TBH I dont really like Homeoffice. Im not a social person and Homeoffice would make it even worse. I dont actually get why people love to stay home all week. It just feels wrong to me.
Oh look, a micro middle manager trying to justify their role is lost.
Driving sucks. If you can, help advocate for alternatives and better planning!
No matter where people live in cities, everyone should have options for walking, biking, or taking public transportation in safe, accessible, and reliable ways to get around.
Zoning needs to change to allow more density and mixed use, bringing people closer to their needs.
Did you forget? 15 minute cities are communism! /s
I'll use this meme to echo other comments: thank you for your contribution to this community, you brighten our days with your silly memes.

It's burn out.
Burn out is the end result of the current system of employment for pretty much all "white-collar" jobs.
"Blue collar" jobs have an end too, but usually when their bodies get too old/busted up to do the work.
We're all in this hell together.
Unless you work at like, Goldman Sachs, this is basically never the case unless you want it to be.
How many hours you working? Even with an 8 hour shift I have a good 4-5 hours to fuck around. Course, on weekdays I almost never bother with actual cooking, saves a lot of time
Assuming I can sleep 8 hours (to prevent sleep deprivation and all the negatives that go with that), my day will be, wake up, maybe an hour to orient myself (get coffee, check the news or whatever), shower, and get changed, drive an hour to work. By the time I'm at work, I've been up for ~3 hours, where I've only gotten 1 of those hours to do what I want. One hour was to prepare for work, another was driving to work.... then I'm working for 8 hours. I drive an hour home. Work has now consumed 11 hours of the day. Of the 13 hours I have left, 8 will be spent asleep. I have five hours. I need to spend at least an hour, probably two, just serving my biological needs in order to survive, and to clean up.... clearly stated: I need to eat.
So after sleeping, waking up, going to work, working, coming home, eating, and cleaning up after eating, and doing some minor chores, I have..... 3 hours left to do whatever I want before I must go back to sleep so I can be rested for the next greulling day of this shit.
On top of that, I'm sleeping 8 hours a night so I can be my best at work, so that's time I spent, not because I really wanted 8 hours of sleep, but because I had to.... for work. So with that in mind, I'm giving work ~19 hours of my life per day and I'm being paid for 8. Then, on top of all of that, work doesn't want to pay me a fair wage for the hours they do pay me. What kind of bullshit is this?
So I get to slave away at this for the next 20-30 years, until my brain starts to degrade and my body can't keep up anymore, so I can spend the last 10-30 years of my life, doing whatever I want in "retirement" on a extreme budget (aka "fixed income") only to see prices keep rising until I can't afford to live anymore....
And that's my reward? For being such a productive member of society? A handful of years of freedom to do as I wish, when I'm old and grey, on a limited budget, full of aches and pains?
