  • You are more important than the company, put you and your family first.

  • If your company doesn't provide a pension plan you have no reason to be loyal and stay.

  • Telework is an excuse for minimal working. Most remote workers schedule emails, get their work done quickly than spend the work day doing personal work on the clock.

  • Charisma is more important than performance for career progression.

  • Favorite employees are typically the easiest to be manipulated and taken advantage of.

Telework is an excuse for minimal working.

telework gives human beings their agency back. nobody, NOBODY needs to spend 8 hours straight doing emails

That is one of the benefits, minimal working. If you can get all your work done in half the work day, good for you.

That's the biggest load of bs I've ever read. I work just as hard as my colleagues in the office and I don't clock out after half a day.

How is doing your work quickly in remote working an excuse for minimal working? If the work is done, where's the issue?
