- The unhygienic and jerk habits of previous users of hot desks

- Uncomfortable, unergonomic hot desks

- Pointless, wasteful, and expensive commute times and expense

- Inferior meals and snacks

Let’s all 50 of us share the same bathroom by choice, even when we have the choice of a private bathroom.

Let’s make it so we all deprive ourselves of an hour of sleep each morning.

Let’s deprive ourselves of an hour when we get home too (the commute home).

Let’s not let families spend most of their time together, even when we have all the tools to do so.

Let’s deny ourselves the freedom to live in affordable parts of the country. No seriously, lets literally deny ourselves this and slave away on this hamster wheel stacked on top of each other in these god forsaken overpriced cities.

Let’s do this for 40 years.

And when offered a miracle to rectify all of this, let’s reject it. Let’s talk about how great the office is for some people. Who are these selfish maniacs?

Madness. There’s not enough poetry in the world to capture the madness.

Yeap. I forgot those and more. It's like some sort of culture of medieval hazing rituals that too many people have normalized and accepted that somehow "proves" their loyalty, dedication, and/or self-worth to a company that probably took out dead peasant insurance on them and continually weighs whether laying them off would be profitable.
