These web comics actually taught me a lot about everything.

Thank you very much, A "cock"work orange. Negativity is common nowadays, so I try to spread positivity where I can. Everyone needs a little bit of brightness and not everyone can make it themselves. So those of us who know better, need to do better.

I agree with you, I think Shaxs can do better. But I also think that maybe Shaxs used to be like Dr. T’Ana and feels some empathy for her. I’ll admit I was a bit kooky before I met my spouse, she recognized that my lashing out was a product of my environment and life experience and offered me a different perspective. She only knew that because she used to lash out for the same reasons and did many years of therapeutic work to get her back on track. So when she saw me hurting in the same ways, she offered me the roadmap she used and I’m a lot better for it. Maybe Shaxs feels this same way about Dr. T’Ana. He sees she’s struggling and indulges her because he loves her, but is also slowly chipping away at the hurt that they share.

The point isn’t efficiency, the point is greed. Efficiency doesn’t make money, it’s idealistic. Office managers literally need people and an office in order to do anything. What are they going to do all day when no one needs pens or snacks or in-person administration? Assistants have nothing to schedule (except zoom calls) when people aren’t travelling or going to in-person meetings. Amazon has already spent millions on building huge offices all over the world and has to justify it’s use or else they sit empty and don’t generate any revenue or business. Middle managers and project managers can still be remote since much of what they do is just email, but some of those guys need to see people working in office in order to have their power trips. The real reason these middle managers are demanding RTO so hard is specifically because people are actually MORE productive at home, which means that their jobs are on the line since there’s no whip to crack. Who needs a slave driver when the slaves all hit their metrics?

Because it’s not about the office space. It’s about corporate greed. The upper management, who don’t actually do anything but manage people, need those people in the office in order to keep their jobs. It’s also a convenient way to do layoffs without needing to pay severance or unemployment and further doesn’t stress investors who would pull money if they heard there were layoffs.

I dunno man. All I know is that this is very similar to the one I had (https://www.ebay.com/itm/404424220236) and it always worked for me. Just trying to help a person with a suggestion…

Here’s one similar to the one I had! https://www.ebay.com/itm/404424220236

Anti-static keychain! They’re small, cheap, and buyable on Amazon. You basically just touch it and it discharges the static without hurting. Life saver for me, my hair builds up a lot of static and I used to shock myself and family all the time.

I used to keep a notebook by my bed so I could write down all the questions to bring up with my therapist. The added benefit was that as soon as I wrote it down, I felt like I could just forget about it for a while and actually fall asleep.
