nixCraft 🐧: “I’ve got some news about office environments.…” – Mastodon

Are remote workers really working all day? No. Here’s what they’re doing instead. USA TODAY by Jessica Guynn in USA Today website

Useful thread about remote, remote-first and in-office experiences starting with [Wayback/Archive] nixCraft 🐧: “I’ve got some news about office environments. The absolute worst part for me was dealing with the rampant gossip and laziness. People would chat all day, accomplish next to nothing, and then pretend they were some kind of heroes for staying late.…” – Mastodon

I’ve got some news about office environments. The absolute worst part for me was dealing with the rampant gossip and laziness. People would chat all day, accomplish next to nothing, and then pretend they were some kind of heroes for staying late. People walk around, take lunch or bathroom breaks, attend meetings, etc. Office or Home people will walk around. Stop writing stupid stories to promote back-to-office culture and risk everyone’s health.

Read the responses for more experience.

And don’t feel bad when you slack when working remote: within boundaries, that is OK.

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/10/27

After having moved, I finally need to take a loog at [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – networkupstools/nut: The Network UPS Tools repository. UPS management protocol Informational RFC 9271 published by IETF at https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9271 Please star NUT on GitHub, this helps with sponsorships!

It supports a whole range of other UPS vendors, and we have a mix of vendors at home: APC, Cyberpower and Victron.

Longarts Sander de Hosson: ‘Zorg met aandacht: soms is één minuut bij iemand zitten genoeg’ – LINDA.nl

[Wayback/Archive] ‘Zorg met aandacht: soms is één minuut bij iemand zitten genoeg’ – LINDA.nl

Die ene actie — het gaan zitten — veranderde het gesprek volkomen. En gaf me cruciale informatie om beter te kunnen zorgen.

Het deed me denken aan “Heeft u haast? Gaat u zitten”: een spreuk waarvan me niet helemaal duidelijk is of deze aan Confucius kan worden toegeschreven, maar die me al vele malen geholpen heeft.

Het is een tip voor veel zorgverleners, juist ook in gespecialiceerde omgevingen zoals het Antoni van Leeuwenhoek: daar waren 5 jaar geleden al diverse zorgverleners die het deden, maar kan overal nog meer gemeengoed.

Gaan zitten hielp me enorm toen ik een maand in het AvL lag waarvan ruim 2 weken bedgebonden: het levelen zorgde dat we niet alleen fysiek op hetzelfde niveau waren, maar ook een snellere verdieping van de conversatie waardoor informatie in beide richtingen beter en sneller overkwam.

‘Het is niet klaar, dacht ik.
Dus bleef ik even. De woorden van de geestelijk verzorger echoden in mijn hoofd. Ik pakte een stoel en ging zitten.’

Een levenslang advies aan elke zorgverlener.

Ga zitten. Altijd.
