Since companies are afraid of progress (remote work) and demanding RTO, why not make EVERY communication in person? No more emails or phone calls.

While we're at it, bring back desks and offices with actual walls. And snail mail. Nice hand-written memos. Bring back actual carbon copies.

Cut 99% of my substance consumption over the past several months. I'm told that's a good thing. But is it? Some days I desperately seek copium.

Another "work emergency" where the executives who set the urgency and process are completely inaccessible.

I can't do this corporate bullshit much longer. This is not how I want to spend my last years on this planet.
