why jump at the sign of a first leak? you can usually get another full year of slacking off at full pay while the parent company dithers around

unless you see truly greener pastures elsewhere, getting acquired is one of the best gigs in IT

for some people a job is just a job, and any job is potentially ok.

some other suckers like myself, we need something more out of our jobs; it sucks to be like this; it makes us easier to exploit.

I've never been more miserable than when I have been paid to show up and do nothing.

Only time I'm more miserable is if I'm told to work on something I know is going to get canned.

That's why wfh is so great: You don't show up, you do nothing and you still get paid.

And you've just figured out one of the reasons return to office is being pushed now.

...and also why workers, myself included, will fight them tooth and nail over it.
