The Fair Work Commission is considering basic rights to work from home. Here’s what the evidence says about the impacts of working from home on physical health and mental wellbeing.
Amazingly we had a HR ghoul organizational hour about “worklife health and well being” with an open chat today and some people in the organization posted gems like:
You should make sure that people don’t suffer from boredout (a new term for not having enough to do, supposedly just as bad as a burnout)
People being allowed to do remote and hybrid work has been the single worst thing in “worklife health and well being” as it ruins cohesion in the workplace
The HR ghouls themselves made a whole speech about “sick leave culture” and how they are trying to combat that. The organization is basically the entire healthcare and social sector of a huge area and the conditions suck in most places, people have been let go, the workloads are unbearable across the board and the environments we are in are open offices, old buildings with mold issues etc. Yet they talk about “sick leave culture” like there are no material things making people sick. They could start by mentioning covid even once, but they won’t. They could embrace remote work without mentioning how performance must stay the same every time it comes up. Everyone who does remote days performs better on it.
But what is most surprising are these supposedly fellow workers who anonymously shit on those who need remote work to even be able to work. I bet they are medical field types because those rehab people, therapists etc. often harbor the most toxic views on other humans and muh performance. I could have posted something myself about how not everyone thrives in the same environment, but decided not to in case they can somehow see who is behind the comments.
