    No employers will offer me a private office which is what I have at home.

    I’ve invested in my home office and my monitor, mouse, keyboard, webcam are all way way better than the ones in office.

      Why is this monitor not working? Why is this keyboard sticky? Why is that guy so LOUD? I’m going home

      yeah i honestly think that’s a big part of it – now they can’t goad people with bullshit perks like ‘a slightly less shitty office’ that enforce a hierarchy; lower level employees won’t feel as bad when they’re not being demeaned in various ways. and the #1 goal of a business other than making more money forever is to allow the sycophants and psychopaths it employs to feel power and control

      Same here. The equipment they use in my office is the cheapest they can possibly find. 1080p monitors, plasticky garbage mice and keyboards.
