  I work from home. Everywhere has a job.

  Someone here clearly hasn’t checked their privilege or even just thought about it.

  But, no, these folks weren’t complaining about jobs. They were complaining about not having stuff to do.

  If you actually read the article, you’ll see this is also just made up.

  Having things to do is important to some of us.

  Also the fact that you work from home doesn’t mean that you won’t need to find another job later, and then your “stuff to do” might become a multi-hour commute to the new workplace.

    I will never go back into an office and, thankfully, I have a role in an industry where they won’t make me. And if they try I can always just go back to freelancing.
