Telecommuting/ WFH and Remote Work

@manch

So petty and vengeful. If saying so make you happy, then :clap:
As I said many times here, I don’t like DT Austin. So I am with you on this one. Also, I am living outside the boundary of the city of Austin boundary.

Btw, you should read my comments/ statements carefully, quite often, I am 指桑骂槐

The tech ecosystem around Austin would not exist if not for the city of Austin. Austin is Texas’ San Francisco. It’s playful, fun and locals there tolerate weird and offbeat people. A cheap version of San Francisco if you will.

Weird and offbeat people are the ones who can “think different”, like the people in that famous Apple ad. If they don’t have the space to be weird a place loses its creativity and vitality. Turns into just another office park.

Unfortunately it also attracts many homeless and criminals. I see more and more of them when I dine in DT restaurants. I try my best not to go to DT.

The straight jacket tech centre is in The Domain :wink: Many pubs and restaurants. Got weird, drunken and bra-less but no homeless.

Domain is just a shopping center like Santana Row in San Jose. Highly doubt there are any weird and bra-less people there.

I saw a few :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Downtown Austin is like Disneyland compared to SF’s TL.

lol

My bad. I thought you said topless.

.

All beaches have dark corners where you can see :slight_smile: if you want to.

Bra-less with translucent blouse count as topless?

Pg&e can’t pick up some distressed office tower cheaper than $900 fing million?!?

Wasting ratepayers’ money, as usual.

The working-from-home illusion fades
It is not more productive than being in an office, after all

We now know why:

Amazon tracks and targets US staff over hybrid working policy

The Seattle-based online retailer this week singled out some staff members to tell them they were “not currently meeting our expectation of joining your colleagues in the office at least three days a week”, according to an email seen by the Financial Times.

“We expect you to start coming into the office three or more days a week now,” the email said.
