Telecommuting/ WFH and Remote Work

This does not make sense at all. Why are they building more office space in Silicon Valley??

Spacing between cubicles need to be increased.

Don’t be short sighted. WFH / remote work in long run is not sustainable. You will start with hybrid and it will slowly morph into work at work as things grow again. Life is a cycle.

In other words, they have been working 50% pre-Covid.

Just need a few idiots to ruin for everyone.

And then they will blame a CEO for firing them online.

:joy:
True.
Never My fault

They will not stop there. They will dig out private life of the CEO, his relations with his wife, children, coworkers, and everything else under the sun. He will be sent on leave, and then called back after 5 weeks. Some will waive white flag. Firing was OK to do but not ok to do on Zoom.

What they need to do is build an eight lane freeway from San Diego to Redding

8 lane highway from SD to Sac with stops in OC , LA , and Bay Area at least !

@erth get it built!

Work ethics issues (like slacking off at work, or using company resources for personal use) are entirely different issues. They will require cultural and educational response.

and be sure send all the woke folks to metaverse on that freeway… :laughing:

wokes are worried at loosing moral and administrative support (from the article):

Industry heavyweights such as JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, Goldman’s Solomon and Citigroup’s Jane Fraser weighed in last week in an open letter supporting Mayor Eric Adams’s efforts to improve safety in the city. Adams has announced plans to revive a controversial plainclothes anti-crime unit that had previously been disbanded.

“It’s amazing the percentage of people in computer science that don’t want to be in the office for a normal life,” Munger said. “They want to do a lot of it from locations that are more convenient for them — I think that’s going to remain forever.”

“Employers have to realize that the genie is out of the bottle,” AWA managing director Andrew Mawson said in a statement. “Workers have seen that flexibility can work and bosses who are not sensitive to their employees’ needs will suffer accordingly.”

Is a race to a new way of working, those corporations that can adapt well would rule the world!
