Why do people assume everyone works in an office
^ that is a matter of some disagreement
Sometimes I wrote code, other times I was a DBA or Linux Sysadmin, usually some combination of all of those things.
I even worked as a Tech Writer for six months.
My last review before I was "laid off" was "You didn't get much done last year, what you do is really really good, I need you to do more stuff faster."
Trying to decide if it is time for a career change - maybe I accept that writing code is something I do well, but not fast enough (because I tend to go down rabbit holes, very very far down rabbit holes, or simply bounce around to all corners of the internet)

Almost all of the work advice online is catered to people who work in an office and are "doing projects". I work in a restaurant lol this doesn't apply to me

I know right?
I work in a coach garage, cleaning coaches and around the garage.
Whenever I read online work advice being catered to office work only, I always get a picture in my head of people at regular meetings in a very formal setting, doing presentations like a formal version of show and tell, with a huge board up behind you with your project you have been working on with your co-workers over the last few weeks, with text and pictures stuck on it with glue, and all that.

If I'm talking about work on an internet forum I get advice that would suit office workers only, unless I specify that I work in a coach garage cleaning coaches. I know that people aren't going to know what job it is I do unless I tell them, but what I'm saying is office work is always the first assumed job everyone does.
If I want to give advice I first ask what job it is they do rather than assume they work in an office.
