  Thirty years ago was a turning point in office culture. AOL Instant Messenger came out. I noticed that all my employees were using it. Actual work came to a standstill. I was outraged – this struck me as time theft – but decided it would be better to allow the work ethic to re-emerge organically rather than act like a dictatorial central planner. Some network computer consultant came in and wanted to set everyone up with a centrally controlled machine over which only one machine would have administrative rights. I said no and essentially had everyone use a personal computer instead. All these years, I've always insisted on owning my own machine in every work environment, even forwarding all work email to a single account managed by me personally. Apparently I was a real outlier here. As it turns out, the centralizers won corporate culture completely. Today every decent-sized company demands that all employees use office machines, building a huge and thick wall between personal and company time. No more social media. No more app control. No more texting except for office texts and platforms. Forget work/life balance. On company time and in company space, there is only the company. Companies today won't even let employees check personal email on office machines. It's become extreme. I'm actually shocked by this in retrospect. I had bet that individualism would triumph – everyone would own their own and cooperate with others but in a decentralized way – but I was completely wrong. Now offices are surveillance-based police states and you have to sneak look at your phone even to have a life outside of work. This is something I never would have predicted. It's no wonder everyone hates work these days.

  @Jerinson0 @NotiPlay_ You have never lived out in the country have you? When I was in highscool we had to drive like 30 miles just to use internet that wasn't AOL. Also I lost my house in FFXIV because I wasn't able to play for a few months after my real house was robbed at gunpoint and we lost all our stuff.

  @clairlemon That’s bad legal drafting, honestly. I’d have expected better from AOL-Time Warner’s attorneys, led by Paul Cappuccio. (Possibly, the contract predated Pooch’s tenure.)

  @0hour1 Never had AOL as a service (had plenty of others, even terminal access to dad's work mainframe) but all of us at college used their Instant Messenger.

  @Miller_Joe_ @RetroNewsNow you did not need AOL to use it it was it's own thing you just went to the site and downloaded it and create an account for it. I still have it installed on my old windows 7 PC lol even tho it is dead now I just never deleted it.
