My last job was highly similar. It honestly would have been more tolerable (the stress) if I’d just been able to work from home.. I mean it’s not the sort of job you could pretend to do if not being monitored, it was metric-driven and triggered by customer contact.. so what’s the point?
They said “we want to foster communication so having people in the office does that!” Umm my department is the only one in the company that is chained to our desk..? We can’t get up because we have to be available for contacts.. and when people come by to talk to us, it’s usually a bad thing because they are interrupting actual real work. To top it off, our cube cell thing was right next to the door where everyone hung out waiting for each other to go to lunch, and because we were the only department that did external contact, they didn’t even think to shut the fuck up.
I’ll never willingly work in an office again. Not just because my disability makes commuting difficult sometimes, but because the environment is just -bad-.
Yeah, it's miserable. I wasn't kidding about the tie part either. Pretty much the only thing I liked about that job is that no one cared if I showed up in a T-shirt and sweatpants.
Dude, that's been every job for 40 years.
It absolutely hasn't from my own personal experience. Maybe it's the industry you're in, but I'm amazed you haven't at least seen things like people on their lunch breaks outside or in a restaurant or whatever wearing a tie.
