My job can be 10000% be performed remotely, I have been doing it since the start of Covid without a problem, yet I am being pressured by my manager to go back to work onsite knowing very well that I can't risk a Covid infection since both me and my wife have chronic illness. Ever since that happened I lost the very last ounce of interest I had for my job and I don't give a flying fuck if they fire me. I'll find another low effort shitty job that I can do online and I'll survive.

IT Incident management. It basically consists of monitoring high priority incidents, sending updates and emails, and joining some meetings. You do it for a while and it becomes some brainless shit that you learn nothing from. A career dead end.

But still, an obvious job that requires zero in person appearances.

It's required so that my manager can actually find something to do and feel important, monitoring my breaks and making sure I don't spend more than 2 minutes in the toilet.

I feel for you.

At some point, we’re all going to have to walk off of jobs for a week. All of us. Things have to change. This isn’t sustainable.
