    Job advertisements are so bad that this delivery job would show up as a “remote job” with some agencies characterising it as “work from home” because it’s not in an office.

    Source: I’ve been looking for work from home roles for several years now.

    Why is this getting down voted? Just seems like a light-hearted joke to me.

      Because it feels like boomer humor trying to parody unions while ignoring the difference

        Sometimes a joke is just a joke - but I get what you’re saying. To each their own I guess!

          I work from home. I work for a company that has been fully remote for decades. There’s no reason in my line of work for me to schlep to an office. In fact, my last employer discovered a significant increase in productivity when we went remote because of COVID.

          The “joke” is a false equivalence. The reindeers’ job isn’t something that can be done as remote work, and the vast majority of people understand this and wouldn’t be asking for remote work in that sort of role. So the comic relies on a false equivalence that belittles people who ask for remote work.
