Reply to comment by Pancakes000z in How common was remote/hybrid work ,before COVID, in Boston? by Mei_Flower1996

Does it seem like I'm arguing? Im just commenting on how insane it is.

Like " Wow thats crazy :o" kind of way. Not doubting that it was real.

You’re commenting to people how insane it is as if they have any control. Your question was if it is common then you reply like everyone telling you obviously that it was common “omg crazy!!”

sorry. I think over text it comes across as weirder. I think when I'm on reddit I feel like I need to reply to comments on post, just as you would reply to a person speaking to your IRL.

But don’t pretend to ask a question, then when you get a reply, start arguing with employers in the past pre-COVID. You ask what was common, you were told the answer to your question, and you start arguing. Be honest. You weren’t actually asking a question, you wanted to make a statement.

I guess Im surprised at how it was less common than I thought? I was actually asking. It's just hard to wrap my head around it. Sorry if it seems weird. I think without in person tone of voice/body language it's difficult to decipher tone from text.
