Can this be the next thing tech democratizes?
replies(3):
I’m being partially sarcastic, but partially honest in that tech workers are often ludicrously blind to how good they have it.
A lot of people just aren’t ready for that kind of work.
I have little respect for when people complain that just coming into an office will affect their mental health outcomes.
Not quite the same level of hands on, but I spent some time working in chemical plants.
The safety training includes “you will die” many times. What do you do if you hear an alarm? What do you do if a cloud of ammonia comes your way? Where are the escape bags? Which way does the wind sock show the wind blowing?
Stories about people being shredded, falling, poisoned, dying, etc.
Reverting to snapshot when a maintenance goes poorly is just not the same kind of stressful.
Quick edit: I do, however, find office life stressful. I’ve never been happier overall than when working from home. Those stresses are real too, but different.
