  • The company doctor gave me the OK for more remote working days (soon we will have full RTO). The line manager also gave the OK. But his manager in Burgerland didn't because of insane levels of ableist drivel arguments (such as "the same rules apply for everyone" and "the cleaners can't work remotely, we programmers aren't a higher class". When I told him that I perform worse in office, he told me he won't argue because he isn't a productivy researcher, however he wants me to come to office because he thinks my productivity will increase??????

    He also interrogated me about my performance and responsibilities (I bet he would fire me if he wasn't satisfied)

    The funny thing is that the company has those seminars about burnout and mental health but the burgerlander manager feigned that he didn't know what burnout is when I mentioned it and made me give him a definition.

    The even funnier thing is that the doctor asked me to talk to her about accomodations once I disclosed my medical history months before, when I was on probation and my abilities were unproven. If I said yes I would be fired right then.

    The only thing I can do now is walk the path that is laid before me, while knowing that every day the inevitable autistic burnout comes closer and closer. I have to do that in ordwr to last one year in the job at least, so that I will have experience to find another one.

    I am beyond crushed and seething at everything right now.


  • It's decent but some of the devs' choices make it a slog. I'm mainly referring to the durability mechanic which needs the material which was used to originally craft an item to perform the repair. So if you lose you become weaker until you grind for rare materials again



  • I talked with some union people at my workplace, and I asked them if they plan to resist the full return to office that is coming. I shit you not, they welcomed the news (they were clueless) because "we will communicate and work better" [sic].

    They only really care about their higher wages and people like me can fuck off and die I guess. I don't know why I expected solidarity from neurotypicals. It's shit like this that completely discourages me from organizing



  • My workplace intends to enforce full return to office to improve our discipline, meaning no scheduled remote days but we might be able to get some as needed? Not clear enough.

    This is probably going to destroy me, I don't know if it is some autism sensitivity but office days tire me to the extent that even with 3/5, I often feel so miserable that I take a paid leave just to not go there. I don't understand how neurotypicals do it every day, it seems impossible to me
