We're lucky that our bodies require sleep, otherwise our cultures would have us working 16-20 hour days.

Doesn't stop certain big tech companies from building giant campuses with cafeterias and housing so that employees can literally live, eat, and sleep at work.

Imagine if they let us work from home instead. I already live, eat, and sleep at work, and it doesn't cost my company a dime! In fact I pay for all of it!

What if we all just didn't go in? They gonna fire everyone?
And they can sell the office too (good luck lmao), we are doing the company a service 😌

That is called a strike and why they work

This is what unions are for!
-
The US, at least, is far too individualistic to effectively do something like this without the people involved being far from unified, and without there immediately being scabs who are more than willing to take their place.
These people have been so indoctrinated into believing that unions, the very thing that would allow them to effectively do what you suggested, are bad. There is no sense of solidarity in this country.
-
Damn. Thought you were advocating for reformism or some other non-syndicalist approach until I noticed the icon. Do you have a favored approach for building that solidarity?
Edit: it’s unfair for me to ask this question. A better way of posing it would have been for me to propose a few and to discuss / develop them.
So, I’d say, I guess organizing outside of the workplace through creating non-hierarchical institutions that meet people’s needs, ie, dual power, is essentially what I’ve arrived at.

I have to go into the office. I literally do about 1 hour of work a day. I have every capability of doing it at home. It's crazy.
-
My office lets me work from home- half the day. And then I come in and do exactly the same thing I did at home. I like the half day at home, but it makes no sense.
-
Working from home 2-3 days makes 100% more sense than working from home half of each day. Means you still need to get dressed and do that damn commute every single day.
-
Neither option makes much sense to me. Especially when I'm doing the same work either way. It makes literally no difference where I do it from.
And to make it more bizarre, it's 25 hours at the office and 15 at home. So I do 8-11 at home 4 days a week (not counting lunch) and 8-12 on Friday.

Fucking weird!

No, company dont want you to work from home because you can have multiple full time job.
They want all of your mental attention on one job only.
-
and only one full time job.
