I'm a programmer. I'm not allowed to work remotely. This means that my job is not programming, my job is to sit in a specific location for a certain amount of time while wearing specific types of clothing. My job is to stroke the ego of a tiny number of wealthy Boomers who aren't capable of using the tools necessary to do their job, and keep getting more and more rewarded for it. The programming is incidental.
You care because you are human.
