Only done about 8 days in the office in my life as I didn't work in an office role until after the lockdowns started. Not in any rush to do any more tbh, the commute is expensive and takes ages just to get less work done than I would at home and I can't even do anything interesting in my unpaid lunch break as I am still at the office.

At least in my last non office role lunch break was paid time still so I usually just took as long as it took to eat something and then got back on with what ever I was doing. Although there was also more job satisfaction there as customers were normal people rather than faceless corporations.

yes...? of course there are downsides

If I could do this minus the working part, that would be greeeeaaaaat

Apparently someone is offended that I am coerced into providing my labor rather than doing so freely, and that I would rather just have that time to myself to do with as I please

Anyone else notice the weird (possibly AI?) upscaling on this picture?

Presenting yourself as an antisocial it's the perfect recipe for being able to provide for yourself.

I mean who wouldn't want to BE around, be attended by and work in sensitive, multiple people and teams dependent, expensive projects that provide services and goods to OTHER HUMAN BEINGS with someone that publicly states to be a misanthrope and who derives JOY from actively NOT being around others

SERIOUSLY, what's not to like?

Nah, you don't need to be all that sociable to work effectively with your team & get technical shit done. Sometimes presenting a standoffish veneer outside your team can be useful to ward off timewasting bullshit from overpaid illiterates outside your team who would save everyone time if they just read.

I think the sensible answer lies as a combination of these things.

It's true, you don't need to be friends with your coworkers to get stuff done, and it ought not be expected of you.†

It's also true that dealing with other people can be exhausting at times.

But I think what the original commenter is pushing back against this notion that being around others is just terrible. We are social creatures, after all. For the vast majority of people, SOME social interaction with other humans is necessary for mental health. What that looks like is different for everyone.

But, really, this is an internet joke, and I don't think OOP means it literally.

† Though personally, not being friendly in small moments at work would be death for me. I give up half my waking hours during the week, sometimes more, for the shareholders, and to afford to live. If I can't get some small social interaction during these hours I would die.
