Pros

The latest you will be there is 6pm.

Cons

Customers demand you tell them about esoteric paints you’ve never heard of and the computers have no system to actually look them up unless you memorize a 12 digit code for each product or remember if it is loxon or lxn or if there’s a pi in front of what you’re searching for they want you to do sales calls, truck inventory, customer service with a smile, tint hundreds of gallons of paint for rush jobs over the phone the rep drops on you out of nowhere that “has to be out first thing tomorrow” and your thanks for all of that is a 50cent raise after a year if youre lucky.

Taking a bad turn

Pros

Some flexibility, weekends, and holidays off

Cons

Having to go in office to have meetings over teams and calling it collaboration is not ideal. 5 days in office is really taking a toll on morale company wide.
