Yes I am interested in a cat.

The title reads like satire. I had a look at the article, but it's not. Fucking journalists.
"After a couple of weeks, I became lethargic, lazy, unmotivated and yet, perversely, convinced that I was much, much happier WFH."
This reads like someone is desperately scrabbling for excuses why they shouldn't be happier working from home. Either that, or she's one of those freaks who actually enjoys having someone with the whip hand over her. If that's your kink then fine, but don't try to impose it on the rest of us. Since they still have their job, I think we can safely assume that whatever guilt they may feel about being able to relax more was not bad enough to actually impact their productivity to a meaningful degree. Kill the boss in your head and celebrate not having your real boss breathe down your neck.
"Are they not aware that when youths leave school now they’re never going to go and work in their life, because the culture is, ‘Well my mum or dad work from home that’s what I’ll do’?" - Pimlico Plumber cunt
They'll never go and work, because they'll be working from instead? What?! Does that braindead fucking cunt not realise that people who work from home are actually, you know,
working? Never mind that children rarely end up doing the same work their parents did, which just goes to show how out of touch the pipe-fiddler is.
"I don’t have children, but after four long weeks in my company even Dora, the dachshund, was beginning to stare at me with thinly veiled contempt."
Do journos really think shit like this convinces anyone?
She then rambles about her parents having a "wOrK eThIc", as if your dedication and effort in work had any damn thing to do with your physical location. Yes, if you're in a business like plumbing, then you will need to go out and about simply because that's where the work is. But if you're doing stuff such as clerical work, admin, information processing and database entry, then the location of your workspace is no longer critical.
"Nowadays, many graduates believe it is their God-given right to swan into the office on their own terms. They would last about a minute in showbiz. Entitled Gen Z’ers are angrily gunning for employers who won’t let them have their “work-life balance”.
For kids growing up now, what sort of example is this?"
It's a great example. People should work to live, and not live to work. Setting firm boundaries with your employers is one way of preventing work from taking over your life.
"Get stressed, take a month off."
Yes. What's wrong with that? Does this fucking hack think that people should force themselves to work while under stress? How the fuck does that help
anyone? It's obviously shit for the employee, but it's also shit for the employer, because their workers will be more concerned about not falling apart psychologically, rather than producing their best.
"But there is a creeping generation of entitled workers thinking it is their right to lay down terms of their employment."
Good. Even with recent developments in the labour market, the balance of power is still firmly on the side of the employers.
"If we keep going soft on workers, eventually we will become soft as a society — capitulating at the first whiff of difficulty."
The very opposite is the case. People are no longer capitulating so much to the demands of shitty employers, and because this hack is a total bootlicker, this new-found confidence among workers frightens her, hence her call for more stick. Also fuck you. I don't need my life controlled by my employer to get things done.
