That time was super short, happened only in a few selected countries and is an anomaly blip in the history of the world. And even if you think that your life is noticeably worse today, you’re still far far better off than the majority of the population today and throughout history.
As for why this time has ended: humans have a need to live in a need. Otherwise they become bored and destroy everything they have. Again, that state of life is not normal, humans cannot live like that, we’re not adapted to such conditions.

What does Europe have to do with anything? Indigenous people were living in Europe until the Homo Sapiens invaded.
Ahaha, right!
Someone should fire this guy. Out of a cannon. Into the sun.
Just set him on fire here, no need to launch a rocket with all the pollution that will create.
End result is extra crispy lunatic either way.
The disconnect from reality here is just mind blowing. Dude needs to go overseas and witness how utterly terrifying a threat on your life you have no control over actually is. Sidenote: punchable face.
Motion to eject them before they eject us
I yield back my time
He’s been brainwashed to exalt capitalist culture, probably by his parents and their social circle.
Yeah actually mental.
What he calls ‘dedication’ is actually fear at having to hold your job down during the middle of a fucking WAR because if you disappoint your corporate overlords you will be both getting missiles rained on you AND unable to support your family.
It’s desperation, and desperation which is very intentionally baked into the system so dickhead ‘leaders’ like these can get the slaves they are looking for and label that slavery as a ‘positive work ethic’
So out of touch with real people.
What are “people?”
You mean the objects that exist to further my ambitions, and accumulation of wealth?
Not my problem.
/s
Basically any CEO, and even most small business owners, would kill you if it meant a few percent more yearly profit.
Not all, but definitely the majority.
“Returning to the office” is such a gross phrase. Get fucked.
I’m going to start calling it “Leaving your home”.
It feels like a phrase from a cult trying to convince ex members to return to the fold.
This guy seems to have no clue that introverts and neurodivergents are way more sensitive to the hot/cramped/bright/loud environment as the toxicity it is - fun fact: open plan offices are considered sexist - and if he can’t engage his people at their fullest simply by enabling people to self-select work environment, then he needs a little more mentoring.
But that went out of style 20 years ago with technical writers and putting employee health before workload as required.
Your first mistake is assuming this person thinks other people are “People,” neurodivirgent or not. Other “people” are objects to be used when useful, and discarded when not. The only thing that matters is what can empower and enrich one’s self.
Your second mistake is thinking the the “Work Culture” of 20 years ago is a dead ideology. It’s not, they have a goal, and conviction to bring that back.
I’m not trying to be condescending, or insulting, but these people are incapable of empathy, and don’t have a conscience. The smart ones hide their psychopathy to a degree to keep themselves out of prison. They do not care about anything, or anyone not themselves, or anything that is not useful to their ambitions, or goals.
I mean that literally. THEY. DO. NOT. TRULY. CARE. ABOUT. ANYTHING. BUT. THEMSELVES.
Especially to “differentiate yourself” 🤣 it’s basically the exact opposite.
Isn’t it. It has a strange implication as though being in the office is the proper place and one day we all just forgot to be there.
My employer has stooped so low as to call it “return to work”. Like, what the fuck have I been doing the past 5 years!?
I’m currently in the final round of interviews for a new employer. I don’t expect that they will be nearly different, but at least they will pay more.
In my salary calculations, office days will attract an added cost and is part of the negotiation. MDA , with its multiple sites and janky schedule, for instance, was a 100k job with 300k of attracted bullshit.
We didn’t come to an agreement.
This.
“According to my analysis, a “Work From Home” strategy would eliminate the burden of office rent, utilities, inspections, and other arbitrary expenses.”
“None of that affects my compensation package. Requiring employees being here would increase productivity, and profit.”
“Actually, the data has shown that productivity and work flow has incre…”
“Fuck that, I know they’re jerking off, eating Cheetos, and playing video games on my clock. Bring them back, now.”
They hate the idea of not being able to control others as much as possible.
Even as they email directives in their pajamas, while skinnin’ it on Pornhub at the same time.
Yeah, when you’re easily replaceable and need the job, you tend to work yourself to death. It’s really hard to get a tech job in India, and I assume the same is true for Pakistan.
So yeah, dude has no EQ.
I was managing a project with contractors in Ukraine when the war broke out. They had some equipment of ours on loan for around 10.000 euros. While I was handling their employees suddenly scattering all over Europe, my upper management wanted me to ask them to keep our equipment safe. I told my management to get fucked. Luckily they understood how insensitive they were being.
I continued the project, we even paid our invoices earlier to help them out. The company was so grateful. Later in that project, my coworker who is originally from Iran expressed his sympathies when Iranian drones were raining down on Ukraine, how he was ashamed his country was doing this. What a moment
That reminds me of 2015 when there was a big flood in Chennai. We were working on a project and the software team was located there. When the floods happened we didn’t hear anything from them for a few days. A middle manager sent a very angry email to them complaining that we would not be able to make the milestones if they didn’t work during that time and he actually asked us to send an email every few hours asking for updates (we all ignored the order except for one guy)
Thankfully upper management and the CEO office knew better and sent a support email to them and I believe they reprimanded the other manager.
After a few days we learned that some employees actually lost their lives and the office itself was affected and they’re were not able to return to work for a few weeks
My former company had an offshore team in Bangalore (actually, 90% of our company was located there). We had a morning meeting right before a critical release, and the offshore leader told us that nobody there would be able to do anything or even be in contact for the next two or three days. Turns out they were moving to a new office building but nobody there had told the US team anything about it - even though they knew our project schedule. This was completely representative of our communication with them.
Good fucking god Perkins, that shouldn’t be the takeaway !
Great, another 26 year old that stumbled into wealth and thinks that makes him an authority.
Like those 20 something “executive coaches” fresh out of school I always seem to stumble upon on LinkedIn. They think they are incredible, but in reality they are only incredible in the literal sense.
They’re in the Cult of Mammon. And most are too stupid to realize they literally worship wealth.
I’m like 90% sure this guy is joking, but I’m being Poe’s lawed hard right now
This is the most monstrous human being I’ve witnessed here. There is something fundamentally broken in him, and I’m terrified that this diseased thought process will spread through speech. I pray it’s genetic, and therefore quarantinable.
A lot of it is biological, but he is almost certainly born into a family, and culture, who worships wealth, and considers it the only metric of worth.
Like Trump. His niece Mary has stated that was the only thing that mattered in Fred Trump’s opinion: wealth, and the ability to generate it. Anything else was weakness.
Yeah, we need more of the “I’m so desperate I have to keep working even though my town is being shelled” mentality here in the United States of Freedom! That’s the dream our forefathers fought for!
As shitty as things like this are, at least they’re self identifying who needs to be in the Guillotine line.
Lots of words but not much substance
Born on third base and thought he hit the home run look and feel.
