    I am one of those oddities that prefers working in the office. I would much rather be at home, of course, but I have the right combination of adhd and fatigue that means I can’t be productive at home.

    Plus I am fortunate to live a 5-minute drive away from my office.

    But shit, even I don’t want to be expected to be in the office every single day! And that’s working for a reasonable company and not some crunch mode dev house.

      I still think there shouldn’t be a crunch in the first place. People can wait. You can just not post a release date. Just make it easier on yourself and take the time to make a better game before all the libretube headlines are “GTA RUINED?”

        Oh yeah of course. But who can be bothered to be decent to a bunch of other humans because some rich dudes that never talk to us really want a 12% return on investment this year rather than a 10% return. As always, the answer is money.

        Also, hello other me! I have a beard though, so I must be the evil one and you’re the good one. Damn.

      Maybe shut up for the greater good? They’ll never stop you from coming in if you want to, but now is the time to solidify the right for people who don’t want to go in.

        You don’t want me to share my thoughts on the subject with you guys? The whole point is that I fully support remote and flexible work even though I know from experience that it is not for me. I don’t WANT it to be that way, but I have to work with the brain I’m given.

        I’m sure as hell not telling my management what I am telling Lemmy.
