‘Best Time To Leave Office Is To Not Go’

And after a lot of research, I have come to the conclusion that the best time to leave office is to not go to office at all. Work from home, people. Work from home. Because what the fuck? It's 3.20 in the afternoon and look at the damn traffic. Look at it.”
