    There are really touchy-feely workplaces where most of all that just isn’t an option. I’ve worked at such places and I’m still traumatized.

      At the height of the lockdowns I used to work in an advertising agency and it was like that. Because of the lockdowns we all have to work remotely and I got so much more done because I wasn’t constantly being asked questions about my life, favourite sports teams, and my opinion of whatever the latest office drama was.

      Only partially were they actually doing their job of trying to advertise a crappy one-star hotel as a holiday villa. I think it ended up getting called something like hideaway lodge, or something equally original.
