“If I had to go into the office, I would get fired for speaking the truth.”

Before the Covid stay at home stuff hit, she was driving 30 heavy traffic miles each way on her daily round trip to the office to do a job that she was able to do in her home office. The company she worked for, footed the bill to make her home office capable of handling her info job.
She decided not to return to the 30 mile away office and do a competitive home job. The first few months, were tough as she had no financing from her previous office job. Now she spends 2-3 days a week running her home office business. Her original employer pays her on an hourly basis without the tough commute and the office B$. She refuses to do any of the B$ the regular office wants her to do.
Hyperinflation, war, recession and privation will herald the return of outcome-based performance standards.
I’m glad to hear your wife was able to get back to that at minimal costs.
That’s a solid decision by her.
Likely against the vast majority here, I think 40 hour work weeks are outdated and rather useless.
There’s nothing moral about working oneself to death.
Certain jobs are more time & task based, and some require intelligent decisions and skill sets.
Busy != productive
I’m not sure what the solution is with more powerful technologies becoming available, but the majority of adults are useless.
It’s an ugly thought. Maybe universal income, I don’t know.
