Comment on How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?

I prefer to work in the office.
Lower utility bills for me. What little I spend in gas, yeah it’s a no brainier.
Also as the chair/desk/etc wears out, the company pays for it. It’s not like they give me the difference if I work from home.

What’s wrong with LED lights?
andrewta@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Most companies put in lights that run at 5000 kelvin. So they appear to be white or even slightly blue in color. It’s hard on the eyes.
Plus most of them have to show of a refresh. So I see a flicker. Think a strobe light and move your hand in front of your eyes. That shudder or screen door effect that you would see. That’s what I see when I’m around led lights.
Most companies refuse to invest in better lights.

Aren’t fluorescent bulbs the ones that flicker?
I agree about the color temperature.

Yes, but so do cheap LEDs (or more specifically LEDs with poorly designed drivers/power supplies)

Depends on how sensitive your eyes are. There are people that will pick it up in led. More people then you realize. There was quite a thread about it in lemmy a while back.
Better quality led lights will have less of a problem, but I’ve yet to find one that fixes the issue.
