  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.
