Yes, schools are businesses these days. Businesses don't want to actually do effort to get consent.

...that's assuming that apps actually respect that environment variable. The problem is that if the app is writing to ${HOME} then they're already not following XDG spec.

So how much of the use today is from bots? I imagine that percent went significantly up.

Yes it's true. Why go to the office just to be on Zoom all day? I can do that at home and save myself some money. More importantly: I can do that from home and save myself the time it would take to drive to or from the office. Not to mention that I could be on Zoom all day from home and save myself the stress of driving around maniacs. Last, but not least, I could do it all from home and the company could save money by not paying for an office.

Add tmux and you've got almost everything I install on a fresh install of any distro.

Almost everything. The last thing is vim.

1. I work from home so that I don't have to go to the office.

2. I don't have to go to the office.

3. Let me work fewer days. 4x10 days would be nice. From home. So I don't have to go to the office.

4. I don't want to go to the office just to be on Zoom all day anyway. It's a waste of time, a waste of carbon, and a waste of company money on the office space.

Take the time estimates that this bully gives you. Tell them the time estimates are way off. Take their estimate, multiply it by three. So, if it would have taken 3 days, then it will really take 9 -- that's two whole weeks of 40 hours each. If it would have taken 3 months then it will really have taken 9 months.

When you get a calendar invite and this asshole bully accepts it for you, make sure to include that cost in your time estimate.

And make sure to stick to your 8 hours each day. If you didn't get work done because some asshole bully filled your calendar with meetings and left you with no time to work, and then also made stupid decisions about the entire codebase, make sure to report that to your manager. Your manager needs to know when time estimates are going to slip.

That dipshit will start to figure out how much time it really takes to get work done. It might take a while though for that to be learned so bear with it.

What work do you try to do?

I suggest that, instead of changing employers, you address this bully head on.

• Tell him that your employer pays you whether you feel happy or not, and it's not his choice to that.

• Tell him that your employer would have already fired you if your employer felt you weren't worth the money they pay you.

• Tell him that your coworkers would have been telling you how awful you are, if you truly were awful.

• Talk to your coworkers about this bully. He might be bullying them too!

So... not the United States. France, maybe? Germany?

Ooooh I'm definitely overthinking things

thanks for the clarify
