Me, who works for an ISP repair department having to explain to a panicking customer, in a nice way, that they are not special because they work from home and the technician that isn’t available until tomorrow is what they’re going to have to deal with until such a time as technicians drive fucking ambulances and their shitty job that will apparently fire them at the drop of a hat has no tolerance for technical issues pulls the stick out of their ass. Or maybe demand the boss pay for a dedicated business line for working from home if they are so worried about it.
I theorize a good percentage of the truly panicked “I WORK FROM HOME, I WILL LOSE MY JOB” people regularly unplug their modems when they want an extra break and now that it’s actually broken, they’re at the limit of what the boss will put up with.
