"The people excited about returning to the office are the reason why the rest of us want to keep working from home."
BINGO!!!! PREACHHHHHH
🤩😂 Goddamn.
Exactly.
Spot on
So very much this...
I wonder if they even realize it?
Its funny that these people are excited to have human interaction at work, yet non of these people will hang out with any of their coworkers after work.
well to be fair, how much can you trust your co-workers to not air your secret at work.
Infact most of them hate each other...
I don't get it. No human interaction is far better than human interaction with humans who will take any opportunity to screw you over.
@@eitkoml It's just phony, manipulation. Who wants to be a workaholic for a company that is not yours. Let me do what I am paid to do. It does not mean that I won't be professional or happy some days, but don't tell to smile when I am not happy, it's coercion.
Most people are fake.
"I don't want a game room and a slide.... I want more money!" - Felt that!
They treat you like children to save money. Don't buy their bullcrap state your worth and find a new job if they aren't willing to pay up.
Facts.. won't say never, just in case, but I don't plan on working from someone else's playpen for a LONNNNG time..
Game room but they don't allow you to play any games because it "Distracts you from work", then what's the point of having a game room?
To buy me free for good.
Or go home 1 hour earlier for the same money, so you can play video games at home.
Some people don't have a life and all they have is going to the office. Screw that 😒
Sadly is not some... is most.
I have a rather tame life and still don't want to go to an office lol.
jup, at least at the boomer level
"Some people" don't have the luxury of risking their jobs being lost to automation.
Shit, I don't have a life and I'd still rather sit at home.
My employer is planning on bringing us back in October. I'm hoping I can find a new job before then. I have no desire to commute ever again.
Same here, working on upping my AWS to be remote DevOps. 3 hour commute is a no go.
Exactly the same, supposedly we were returning in September, but since the CDC doesn't give a sh*t, now it may be sooner. on July It'll be 1 year since I joined the current company I work for. So after that I am absolutely looking for something else. Honestly the quality of life when commuting is garbage, wasting time that I could have spent getting more rest, or calmly eating breakfast, the chances of deadly accidents increase unnecessarily, I'd be polluting by driving, I may get my kid sick if I catch this stupid virus. So honestly I do myself, my family and the earth a favor by not going into the office.
I told my boss I was feeling burnt out. He said a lot of people are and the answer is heading back to the office. He said he's ready. I didn't really say a lot but I have now found a new job that I start soon.
@@sarahpoindexter5718 Oh wow. Congratulations! 🥳🎉✨ Dang, you’re smooth with yours. 😉😁 He’s probably gonna feel so betrayed when he finds out. 😂😁 Congrats again!
L😂L
The commute is honestly the main reason I'm not interested in going back to work. I have a few reasons but that's the main one, Boston traffic is no joke so I'm also keeping an eye out for closer or remote jobs.
Let's be honest, the reason these people want to go back to work is because they lack social lives and don't have any friends.
And the reason they don't have a social life of friends is because they've consented to have been voluntarily imprisoned by their employment working longer hours than they probably should have.
I on the other hand don't have a social life because I choose to spend my time being productive in other ways.
I'm neither productive nor do I have a social life.
RIP
They just want to look good for their company. Called corporate simps.
I have no friends or social but I still rather be home
Ah sweet, the gridlock and packed subway trains we were all waiting for
How I've missed the enchanting choir of coughs that accompanies such an environment 🤦🏻♂️
My company permanently closed down most of its offices. But they've been really flexible about work-from-home for years. I wouldn't consider a position that wasn't work-from-home at this point.
I have been working at home for over a year and have no desire to return to the office setting.
Regarding "pandemic pounds", I lost weight during the pandemic because catered office lunches and snacks put on the pounds.
They usually buy the most carb loaded stuff too
I maintained my weight until early this month when I got chicken pox and dropped 5lb, now I'm the same weight I was in 2012.
Weight management is freaking easy.
@@deanchur weight management is easy with education. I can control my weight by controlling carbs and insulin spikes bc I’m insulin resistant. The office foods are carb heavy and cheap which is a no for my body.
I took lots of walks around our quiet neighborhood.
@@kepstein8888 same here
The frame at the start is perfect lol
Deadass was not expecting that. I'm loving it
It really was though
The sharpie must be for sniffing. It's the only way to enjoy yourself at the office.
Fuck yea dood.
@@PVCFloobos For that hood kindergarten experience lmao
The sharpie is not nearly strong enough to offset this shit 🤣
you green-screening yourself onto the monitors made me LOL
Imagine having such a miserable life that your commute to work is a positive. Wtf lol
I feel deeply sorry for the people who are impressed by a game room, a slide, and some food. How much are they paid to not be able to have all that at home? Simping so much and still being paid a misery is pathetic.
Hey Josh I hope everything is ok since you took the last video down. Just wanted to say that your content really helps me in my transition out of the corporate world! Thank you for what you are doing.
Yeah what happened to the wheelen video?
Thank god I do commercial cleaning and there are no cringe meetings XD
In the meantime why not record some live streams to showcase how you neutralise filth , mate ? 😅😃
I like how the beautiful view at the office is a path to nowhere. Seems reminiscent of what corporate life is like.
"Well the government pays me to stay home, but did you see the view from that office?!?"
Hahahaha
"It's my birthday! Can't wait to clock in"
My company has a games room with a few PS5's but it's pretty pointless. The vast majority of the time they are empty then then there's a crowd at lunch all trying to get a game in. They could all be working from home and with a tiny bit of co-ordination play online together whenever was most convenient. 95% of the people that play in the office have their own console at home. Company should save the money and GIVE EVERYONE A BIT MORE OF A PAY RISE! When will they fkin learn that the vast majority of people work because they have to so if they do a good job the company should pay them a bit more to retain them longer. So many companies have really high staff churn rates because they waste time and money on dumb social projects and silly gifts nobody wants.
This gives me cringe chills. I hope my work remains remote
you have 0 obligations to stay there. If they make you come - switch. Don't play their games.
glad when I started my new job, the company already recognized how the tech dept was more productive at home and will likely keep it. Perks? I can visit family whenever and stay for more than a weekend while working with a laptop. And I got approved that I could move to Michigan without any problems since my bf got an engineering job there (he'll have to go to the office occasionally to test machinery), no more having to choose between your own career or following your partner.
I never had the option to work from home, I've been in the office since the beginning. In fact I had only two days and we my other coworker had to beg for those days.
What company is that so we can avoid it?
Josh putting his face on their monitor is SENDING MEEEEE
I hope they see it too 😂😂 knowing the corporate ego they will get extremely butthurt and try and cancel him
All to compensate for their leadership's inability to interact with employees without becoming toxic.
20 years in IT. If my company ask me to return to the office I am quitting… I’ll rather drive truck that go back…
Ironically I made it to the second (out of third round) of interviews for click up and yea basically a nightmare. The guy that interviewed me had basically said no one works under 60 hours there and the pay was only 60k in LA.
I normally listen to your videos as podcasts but kept stopping to watch this one with the moving face, loved it
I love how josh shows the misuse of back to office, I know from my finance roles being at work in sometime required or much easier to perfrom all or some tasks but this is a great example of why not to attend the office if you could do it at home. love your work josh.
Josh you really need to do this more 🤣🤣 seeing your face on their screens flaming them is genius!
the sharpie almost made me cry on behalf of the recipient, oh my lord.
Bruh why did you delete that last vid?
both of them
Back in my day, we hated Mondays specifically because we had to go back to work or school after a fun weekend off.
The best part of the video is Josh talking about the slide! I worked for the top medical facility. Each year they gave us a nice gift (with hospital logo of course!)....an umbrella one year, then a fleece blanket....then a plastic sticker for the car window, and then a little cloth with which to clean our sunglasses! What an insult! Meanwhile we cranked out the work as they compared our monthly goals each year to the previous years’ goals. It was never enough!!!!
Man I love your Corporate cringe series haha
The office is just a place for me to work at and I don't like distractions. There's a reason why I keep my office door shut and locked. But I need to have physical space from work and home to be able to work and WFH was very stressful for me. I had no way to transition from work to home during that time, and it was awful. The separation helps me compartmentalize the two, and that's how it works for me. But, all this stuff is just awful. IDGAF about perks or what the office has to offer. Just give me a quiet place to work and I will get stuff down.
Was about to commute to work but Josh uploaded
Office culture exists whether or not you're working remotely. Work is work, and remote work is less personal.
I hate the word "empower" when corporations use it. It always means that the responsibility is on the employee with no responsibility on the employer to properly prepare them for X situation.
Amen, theres no one need to be in an office.
And what is realy sad is that there are many people who are believing and accepting those corporate lies. Happy to see another popular video like this. Keep up the good work!
That view just reminds me when i used to work at cumberland farms and they had a similar view and all i could think about was being out there lol....dreadful
Definitely love wfh no traffic to deal with no cringy company stuff, no cringy co workers, no dealing with traffic on the way back, and more benefits.
Ngl, some people have nothing going on in their lives. Why we see all the claims about Remote Work causing people to be "lonely." Yeah... extroverts will probably miss socializing. But they can do that on their own. If they don't have people in their lives they can socialize with... probably not the best people person in general.
True. An office I worked at managers complained when people played the foosball game. These were not even the managers' of the for those team members playing. Same manager kept bottles of hard liquor in his desk drawer.
It's funny that people don't say "I miss my office job" but "I miss coffee at work with friends".
It’s really interesting starting an internship at a firm where a lot of the people I work with been working at the longest been there for a little over a year. All leave on time and push hard to stick for them 8 hours. And I can tell they got cynicism for the corporate world, makes me happy that’s the case so far. Thank you for the real insight Joshua, graduating college with your advice propelling me with a grip on reality I’d never hear otherwise
Your commentary 🤣🤣🤣
What I also don't miss is the white noise they pump thru the office.
Nearly 2024 and offices still empty
Such a great view of the people using the trail and enjoying life while you sit in your box.
Ppl who wants to go back to the office are married with kids, and they are looking for any reason to stay away from home.
My spine is soooo chilled now!
One of the things I’ve done is to shore up security. Hyperinflation is here. I DO NOT want to find out I’ve been burglarized, because some little sh*t, in the upper echelons, thought I could do a better job at the office, because projects GAF already been mismanaged by those idiots already, during WFH!
Ive been watching your content for a while and have come to cherish it as a G/Xer. Your combination of loathsome satire for both return to work and also Linkedin is gratifying.
00:38 a full train in NYC is a nightmare, especially in the winter. Once a year I would get sick (from others coming into work sick or train/subway/elevators). It has been 15 years since I have worked in New York City, i have never gotten sick one time since I stopped working there (and I haven't changed my lifestyle and I live in the same house I did when I worked in NYC). It would cost me at least $500 a month to commute (train,subway, ferry, taxi (once in a while when trains were delayed, I would have to pay for a taxi instead of walk from Penn Station to my office, otherwise I would be late). As well as paying for breakfast or lunch. I had a 2 hour commute each way, there is no way I was going to bring my lunch with that long of a commute/long day. Why on Earth would I be 'excited' to go work in an office in NYC.
The tyrannical office managers and the higher ups miss the power trips they can facilitate and the sight of their adoring minions all gathered in the office in their honor! 🤔
The view from my home office is San Pablo and San Francisco Bay...No I am not driving in to the office 🤣
My home office has my backyard and a 2-year-old running around. I'm staying home.
It annoys me when core value statements are not all nouns. Like "random acts of kindness" makes grammatical sense as a value, but "At this company, we value 'urgent and optimistic'" does not. That paragraph they started with was even worse.
One thing about me is that I NEVER post anything work related on my social media. I basically don't find anything fascinating about my work place. I usually wanna throw up when I see young co-workers posting that kind of stuff.
LMFAAAOOO “corporate simps” I’m stealing that!
Distraction of doing your laundry?!? "PLEASE DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF BEING AT HOME TO DO YOUR LAUNDRY WHILE YOU LISTEN TO A BORING USELESS MEETING!!!!"
Imagine you were Joshua's Line manager at some day care type office! Let that sink in for a moment...
I'm noticing a trend that the people thirsty to go back to the office are the ones with no self-discipline. These are the 'I need to be in the office so I don't devour everything in the fridge' types, as well as the 'isn't it fun socializing around the water cooler' types.
What dork gets excited for their first day of school? I hate school, always did. The first day was always the worst. I never cared for my first day of work, except for my showbiz performances and rehearsals.
School I can get excited for. Work too. If it's courses and work that I actually like and enjoy. The office, on the other hand, is a different story. Office does not equal work. The two are not synonymous. Virtue-flexing on social media about needless return to office bs? Not something I actually like and enjoy.
10:39 I surely does. those 'core values' just showed how incredibly unprofessional they are as a company. it gives me literal chills
Theyll use money for that but not employees? What a way to cut corners lol
For a fact, I hated my first day, (And every day afterward,) at my school.
Talking about passive income and investment, I will go with crypto currency 💵💵📊
Cryptocurrency is one of the best investment one can make and build wealth for their future.
Yes you're right, Bitcoin is a good business, making money is easier through investment, don't save your money Bitcoin and invest.
Bitcoin trading is a very lucrative way of making money online
But now and invest in Bitcoin
Trading crypto currency (bitcoin) is also a nice way to invest $1000 and change your life
Was so hopefull remote work for all would stick... now I am far less hopeful when idiots are celebrating full time return....
How about celebrating the ability to move where you want to live regardless of where you work.
Oh man, and we have to watch 5 ads in a 10 min video so that Josh won't need to go to office
Thank God for you. This is so sad and pathetic. I’m glad you have a platform to share our collective anger on this ridiculous hypocrisy known as office life
:53 "Forget about this beautiful view from my office" Yes forget about the view! Look at how happy I am to be back stuck at a desk again for 10+ hours of joy!!
Does this man not know that train attacks have skyrocketed. Why be in traffic and risk your safety taking the train than continue to work from home
"Where's Josh"
"He's on the slide again"
"Oh bruh"
XD
The ones excited to get back to the office are the ones that love to play office politics or get away from their kids. Also definitely some of the guys like to check out the chics at work.
Left my job at a political firm to do the exact same job but freelance and I’ve never felt so at peace. If my girlfriend wants to go somewhere or I want to see something there’s no one to tell us no, just grab my laptop let my buisness partners know I’m in a different time zone and head out. There’s no reason to literally sell hours of your life away out of fear of survival
These people... How? Why? After one year working from home they could not adapt? Don't They see value in not spending one hour comuting? Why Do they hate so much being at home?
probably paid for by a REITs, basically the landlord companies for office space. if a company goes 100% remote forever they have no reason to rent a big ass building for more than everyone inside is paid.
That and neurotic managers who should be fired.
"Where's Josh? He's going down the slide again!" Haha!
If you get a t-shirt or a coat from the company with a company name, they are just hoping you'll wear it and become a walking advertisement.
4:02 - the entire package might cost under $20 (assuming the tshirt is of good quality)
Remember that commute from Bay Area to SFO for a SINGLE day costs $20 (train + local parking).
Similarly in the east, Central Jersey to NY Penn commute is easily $30 per day.
Commute to big cities on average is 1/3 your monthly rent. Yes lure me with a t-shirt and sharpie please.
I'm now glad that I work in a factory, we dont have time for BS like this....
back to office on mondays?
My suicide date just got closer.
Love the video, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Love how Josh put himself on the screen in the intro vid, LOL, reminds me of V as in V for Vendetta LOL Josh is breaking the illusion. good job.
I never want to go in an office full time again in my life
Id be spooked if Joshs head came flying through my office going down a slide
After working many years at a large Silicon Valley tech HQ (loved my colleagues and the job itself was pretty good, physically the stress took a toll on my health), getting laid off a full year prior to the pandemic, dealing with tech company interview BS, I am DONE with that forever. I can’t stomach it anymore. Got hired at start of pandemic with another large tech HQ, hated the culture. Went from large companies to now a 3 person company in a fun non-tech sector. I *am* going in to a little office 3 days a week but it’s totally fine mostly because I’m not dealing with corporate bs and people who have been brainwashed into thinking the company is king. I have zero desire to go back to a massive company and/or office ever again. My personal sanity, happiness, and fulfillment is worth more to me than a paycheck!
I do not know... I am on Lago Atitlan now, in Guatemala, its full of world record large mouth bass, its almost always within a few degrees of 72F here... rent is outrageous though! $200 a month. somehow I can afford it. I do miss the office though, the sociopaths and loud phone talkers kept me on the ball... and i got to take all those pills to keep my teeth from chattering.
my company allowed me to work from home forever. foooooookkkk the office !
That's awesome!
Hahahaha!! The little corporate animal cage haha It killed me
"He's going down the slide again" hahahaha
why are those video recommended to me? I have to start at a place where there is no homeoffice at all lol.
The editing is on point 😂
3:15 - yes! In a country where internet is shit zoom meeting and working in that office is different and better.
Who wants to be stuck in traffic or a crowded public transportation system there and back everyday. Companies should pay for that and add mental stress pay as well.
Extra wide tables 😂🤣
it's weird how a lot of these "office drones" in the video relate working in office to kindergartens/schools, kinda sounds like a coping mechanism due to how draining working life is.
I think some people genuinely enjoy be back in the office and i am happy for them. What i don't like are the one's that pretend to be happy which is the mayority
