How many of these opinions are coming from people who have worked in an environment where you were able to go home at 5 and your job would stop, and if your boss called your house after business hours they were a prick? Because anyone born after 1985 has never actually been away from work. So if you're going to ping my phone constantly after work is supposed to be done, why not just let me stay at home while you do it?

Like people working an an office don't find ways to delay or avoid work. That's human nature, it's not unique.

Management should be forced to consult with people who do actual work before they start creating unnecessary emergencies.

I love how management thinks everything is a “5 min” task.

More likely it’s a 1-2 hour task that’s going to keep someone from completing all their other tasks “5 min” tasks.

If something urgent is being passed down the chain, it’s likely a fk up from management and maybe they’ll learn to give things the time they deserve. Haha, who am I kidding. Everyone is sitting around waiting for your ridiculous last minute requests.

Ever since I've worked for myself at home, on Fridays, I always tell myself to put off the easy five minute tasks to Tuesday.
I part ways with lazy fcuks like that.

I'm usually pretty good at letting myself off with a warning

And this is why they'd rather have you dog #### at the office.

Oh thank f-ck, I thought it was just me. No, it seems to have really fallen off the last version or so. I used to be a very capable texter on the iOS keyboard -- be it tap or swipe, look or blind -- but since the last major update, I look like someone's Boomer dad trying to write a Facebook comment.

I swear my 16 Pro has some sort of misalignment with the touch sensitivity... Since day one, something's been off and prior to that, I thought of myself as a iOS typing pro. I haven't noticed any further degradation with recent updates, but it still drives me mental all the time.

I thought I was going crazy too. Certain days seems OK. Other days I'm typing and swiping drivel. I didn't think the touch sensor could randomly go stupid.

Listen you pair a proletariat shills, management knows all. That’s it, that’s all. Don’t question anything! Any further outbursts like this and you’ll both be terminated!
