Office politics while working from home

There are politics in online games and forums where nobody sees each other. I've been in Slack groups with lots of private gossip channels. I don't think office politics will change much.

One of my favourite quotes: "Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing." - Robert E. Howard (Conan)

The lack of any physical response may make people even ruder with one another. Though it will cut down on office affairs and the like.

I work 2 hours less per day. I take a lot more breaks, and no one seems to notice. As long as they think I am as productive as ever, it's all good, I guess, sort of?

We know how this would normally play out in the office world: "ah! You can work more than before, amazing. You now need to work more. Oh, and we're simply a small startup, the pay raise will be the same, regardless of your performance."

Now I do get my promotions in more free time.

It’s different.

A lot of the bullshit you’d be aware of due to being able to see people is renewed because everyone hasn’t figured out how people operate.

I think we’ll see how it works out as companies start purging.
