The whole snitches get stitches mentality where it's a bad thing to call the police to deal with illegal actions. I know people do not like told one for doing something bad, but that's how people learn. But, you shouldn't go out of your way to harass people.
Unfortunately, the "stitches" are doled out by the police now. If they even show up.
Police.
(Disclosure: I'm white, so I haven't had too many issues with them.)
1. Don't actually prevent crime.
2. Were subject to their whims. Oh you don't want to issue a simple ticket for thay basic traffic violation, high school grad? I guess I'll just go fuck myself then.
3. We can't issue tickets in lieu of their delinquency.
4. Small issues generally lead to larger issues. Police dgaf about small issues, which why we still have big issues.
5. They mostly joined for the clout. I never wanted to be an officer, but I cab see the appeal of walking around all day, armed to the gills, along with immunity if you fuck something up. Thing is, most of us aren't cautious around police because we respect the badge; we deal with police like dealing with an elephant in musth because they have about the same intelligence, levels of rage, and can ruin your day without too much effort. That's not a game many want to play.
6. They get discounts everywhere, including gun shops. Like, police already get access to firearms the general public cantt and now they save money on arming up even more? Give me a break.
7. Internal investigations. I don't have to go into this too much.
8. Picking on the wrong group. Do police ticket noisy vehicles (non-commercial trucks, cars, etc.)? No! What do they do? Sit by the road during rush hour with their radar gun out, looking to ticket people which just want to fucking get home after a long day and maybe not hit every red light on the way there.
9. Get paid way too much to do nothe. Probably take kickbacks, too, among other rackets they have in play.
So, this is defund the police. Even traffic units of police operations don't want to deal with day-to-day traffic violations. Pretty funny, right?
Fuck those pigs.
If you're a cop reading this, go fuck yourself, too.

I'm not gonna lie, I am tempted to complain.
You should've fought harder to WFH. (If you can do your job remotely, I mean.)
If you can do your work off-site and want to and your company won't let you, they don't care about you. (Well, that last part is a given.)
If you "need to get out of the house," go to a library, coffee shop, workspace, etc., once or twice a week.
Also, work friends don't care about you and will throw you under the bus, if needed. You (likely) won't speak with them much if you leave the company, anyway, so why buy into whatever "culture" BS HR is shoving down your throat? The only corporate culture is hating bosses and your commute.
(PS - Did you get a pay hike for the cost of commuting? No? Tsk tsk.)
Then, when your back to WFH, you can make your abode smell however you want!
