One of the huge advantages about working remotely is that no one else can see my emotions. That way, when I'm angry or upset, it won't upset or anger anyone else unless I express it in chat or another medium. It's much easier to not express the frustration, anger, hopelessness, and other emotions that the job inevitably leads to. If work still insisted, I would in most cases lie. I don't see any reason they should insist. Or any reason that they wouldn't be aware of how they are treating their employees. In my case, I stopped giving a fuck years ago, when I realized that no matter how well or poorly I preform, I will not be rewarded in any tangible manner for it. Now I do the bare minimum. I bet a majority of workers are in this boat and likewise don't want someone pestering them about their emotions. I'm making less, inflation adjusted, than I was when I started six years ago and motherfucking management knows it. Why bother to ask when they know I feel unvalued, unappreciated, and frankly like I don't give a fuck about them, their projects, or their fucking deadlines. As you can see, there's a reason to not ask for this information. Another reason is because it's none of their fucking business. I'm here to work, not to get therapy. I have a therapist with whom I can share things. With work, I will lie unless I see an advantage to not doing so and I'm sure most everyone else will too.
