Fucking devils are upset that they’re not maximizing the amount of time they’re torturing their mortal workers in the office.
After over three years of working when they are most productive, instead of during fixed office hours, employees are foiling management attempts to reinstate the pre-COVID grind by clocking on and off at their leisure.
And it’s resulting in a workplace “dead zone” where few can be found at their desks or online between 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Despite mandated office attendance, many are simply refusing to shake their pandemic-era habits when they were responsible for setting their own schedule.
“I need to work around childcare,” Jade Fitzgerald, an experience design director at the design agency Beyond tells Fortune.
Like many working parents, her workday exceeds the hours that nurseries are open. “I need to have time to be a parent – to do the nursery drop-offs and pick-ups, and have time to bond with my child,” she adds. “Fortunately, some of my work can be flexible, while my son’s routine is not.”
After tucking her 11-month-old baby into bed, Fitzgerald logs back in at around 7:30 pm to complete her assignments.
