I did contracting for Deere & Co, because of how close they are to my home, they requested I be on site.
Wanting to be a team player I agreed, it was only a 3 hour round trip, they even agreed to pay me for the commute. My time started the second I left my house and didn't stop until I got home.
But here's the thing. The days I was on site, I sat in my own cubicle and didn't converse with any of my colleagues except over Teams, and then when we had a meeting we all filed into a meeting room, where we got on a video call with the teams in India.
None of my reason for being on site mattered outside of them being able to claim I was there in the office.

- joshmanders 3y agoAt this point I've stopped trying to correct autocorrect when it decides a word I spelled correctly isn't the word I wanted and changes it with a different word.
- rootusrootus 3y agoI hate how autocorrect has evolved into something that tries to actually rewrite words that I've written, even after I've moved onto the next word. And sometimes the old trick of just backspacing and typing it again doesn't convince autocorrect that I in fact know what I'm typing and want to keep it. I'd prefer to just have it highlight the word it thinks as wrong, and leave it alone. Kinda like when I'm on my computer.
- joshmanders 3y agoThen you actually do typo a word and are one letter off and is clearly wrong and it’s like “nah that’s good we’re not changing anything”
