Mike Dolbow<p>Actually somewhat excited about work today, finally getting privs to an Azure PG instance and testing out some ETL. I've been prepared for months!</p><p>But I've been so demotivated by the forced RTO order from our governor that I barely recognize this feeling. It's how I used to feel on the regular, but now I just want to crawl in a corner and scheme with my union brothers and sisters.</p><p>Just imagine, if I could continue <a href="https://mapstodon.space/tags/WFH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WFH</span></a>, I'd be motivated like this every day! But politics ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯</p>
Miguel L.<p>Trying to get my brain back into "application analysis and design" mode, for the next big module of my current project. Good thing I'm <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WFH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WFH</span></a> and I'm alone. Bad thing when I realize I have a ton of new questions for my users, so I'll have to... talk to people. ugh.</p>
Tim Richards<p>Good piece. Abandoning work-from-home would affect women's flexibility, but also that of men who want to be better fathers.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/wfh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wfh</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.smh.com.au/business/workplace/i-was-an-absent-father-until-wfh-changed-everything-20250325-p5lmg7.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">smh.com.au/business/workplace/</span><span class="invisible">i-was-an-absent-father-until-wfh-changed-everything-20250325-p5lmg7.html</span></a></p>
Peter "Poly" Paterson<p>Tuesday 06:33<br>Technically a day off work on <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/pto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PTO</span></a> as I have a certain fun procedure tomorrow afternoon and start prep later today.<br>No solid food, no creamer, etc, so I shall be drinking Ginger Peach Black Tea this morning.<br><br>I was up in the middle of the night running <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/foodbank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodBank</span></a> end of month reports, with the most important part sending my CEO an email of information.<br>Once I sent that email I practically crashed out into bed.<br>Today will be a mixture of eating what I can, working on other reports &amp; emails, lots of naps, and most importantly keeping out of Arianna's way as she works from home. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/wfh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WFH</span></a><br><br>A friend of mine is visiting at lunchtime with a few items that he made for me.<br>I will post details afterwards.<br><br>So, as you can see I really don't have much to report today.<br>I hope that your day is as peaceful. If you do get stressed please feel free to reach out for a private chat. I am home all day.<br>Peter //O\</p>

David Gardiner<p>In the city today in a co-working space.

Tim Richards<p>Solid reasons to support WFH options.</p><p>"Hybrid working has enabled higher workforce participation among historically under-represented groups. Women’s workforce participation has risen, and more women are working full-time, partly due to the flexibility working from home offers in balancing work and family responsibilities.</p><p>"Workforce participation has also risen among older Australians, people with disabilities, and carers because working from home can reduce barriers to employment. Hybrid working may have also contributed to the gender pay gap shrinking slightly because women can now work in better-paying roles that previously required full-time office attendance.</p><p>"And while sceptics argue that working from home reduces productivity, the evidence suggests hybrid working models do not weigh on productivity (although full-time remote work can reduce productivity."</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/work" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>work</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WFH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WFH</span></a> <a href="https://www.smh.com.au/business/workplace/working-from-home-is-part-of-the-new-normal-bosses-need-to-lay-off-20250324-p5llx9.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">smh.com.au/business/workplace/</span><span class="invisible">working-from-home-is-part-of-the-new-normal-bosses-need-to-lay-off-20250324-p5llx9.html</span></a></p>

Peter "Poly" Paterson<p>Monday 05:20<br>Feeling exhausted after putting my jeans on.
