Phone call with the boss that takes longer than 2 minutes? It’s going on my timesheet.

Picking up supplies for the next day’s job on the way home? Timesheet. Being forced to make a new password for for my email so I can log in again on a Saturday because of security requirements? Timesheet, timesheet, timesheet.

Never count bathroom breaks as break time, your meal break doesn’t start until the microwave dings, and your commute isn’t officially compensated as it should be, so you have to compensate yourself by finding an equivalent amount of time where you are on the clock and not working.

And all those times where you are asked to leave your break to do work? You are entitled to a full uninterrupted break, so take another one to make up for it, in whatever way you can without drawing the ire of the boss who abused your good nature by ruining your break in the first place.

Dale was fast so he could work less

I’m not stealing their labor, I’m stealing their value. My employees aren’t slaves for crying out loud, I let them go home most days.

Yeah I really can’t believe the extent of the exploitation.

I started working from home in 2021 and holy shit, I used to work like 5-8 hours a day, and now I only work 1-2 hours and only 3-4 days a week. And I’m one of the top employees, my evaluations are always exceeds expectations, etc. My commit history is legendary status; I honestly don’t know what other people are even doing if they’re actually working all day. Definitely not atomic commits I’ll tell ya that.

So given how little time I spend working now, it means the amount of my life that was being fucking STOLEN from me before I was working from home was INSANE.

And they are STILL taking the value of my labor from me, which just means the degree of exploitation of most people is just ridiculous.
