That’s ok, if my work cared enough about whether I was online or at my desk at any specific moment they’d have complained already. I have teams quit completely half the time. I get my work done, my performance reviews are good, I turn up to meetings on time, that’s all that should ever matter.

Also if they cared so much about where I was to punish me for it, I’d quit that company. The only companies I will work for are ones that treat me like an adult, it’s fairly simple.

And I am glad you can afford that choice. But there are a ton of people out there who can't.

Only because they refuse to unionise. If we all quit jobs or collectively bargained where we weren’t treated like human beings, they’d be forced to treat us like human beings.
