At my old job whenever we had to be at work extra early the next day and we were debating if we should go out drinking anyway my boss would always say “if we are going to be pissed off we might as well be pissed off and hungover.” He really did not like mornings.

Fun fact ever since I stopped drinking alcohol I have yet to get fired…

Same for when I’m sick for me, sorry not sorry.

As long as it’s not Covid level, since America doesn’t mandate remotely reasonable paid time off, I’m not given enough PTO annually not to be be driven into deep depression living to go to work almost all the time.

I’m not going to waste my limited PTO being sick.

I’d rather get paid to be sick than do it for free, especially if it’s going to cut into the whole 10 PTO days I get a year. Bonus points if I get the owner sick.

If we had mandated reasonable time off like an actual developed nation and not the gold plated shithole we are, I’d have enough job security and time off not to get my coworkers sick in our respective ruggedly individual quests to get moar by competing against each other. 🇺🇸

I don’t always code while drunk but when I do I make sure to get paid for it

Or drink more water and don’t get hung over.

I used to get an egg sandwich from the canteen then go and sleep in the server room, enjoying the aircon.

This was the 90s . I hope people still do that.

Work form home benifits

That’s my philosophy.

Great idea … some places allow you to do that once or twice but many places will just let you go home and ask you not come back.

@EndOfLine cheers!
