This F**K is for the rich only
Including many rich like YOU, of course.
In the last year, the COVID-19 pandemic has instantaneously forced telecommuting on hundreds of millions of people who, in many cases, could and should have telecommuting anyway, for years now.
The shock caused by this revolution, and the realization that many jobs really suck, or could be done from home without any negative consequence, or both, is driving countless people to just say “Fk** to Going Back To The Office.
There is even a webs counter dedicated to monitor and share this very feeling:
Who can do it?
As obvious as it is… That counter is only for (relatively speaking, of course) rich people. The people, that is, who in this period are gifted with, as a minimum, a desk job, affordable and reliable broadband, no concrete constraints to stay in an office, and a boss with a minimal quantity of brain.
Everybody else has to “stay in the office”, that is in the fields, in the streets, in shops or warehouses… just visibly controlled, every year more. Never forget that, if you (rightly) are sick of office life.
