Apple has probably insane lawyers that will tear them to shreds. A co-worker who loved to be 15-20 mins late every single day of the week for two straight years was shocked when he was promptly fired. This is after he’s been told to show up on time countless times over the course of the two years. Blames the company for his own actions just like these idiots.

Same here. The audacity of being patronized by a person whose net worth is in the hundreds of millions and whose interests lie directly in extracting as much value and productivity out of us serfs as the law will allow is staggering. It's further proof of the sneering disdain the aristocratic class holds for the rest of us.

To contrast the 996 policy, 4-day workweeks have shown quite the positive result so far. The majority of companies that participated say they don't plan to go back.

The assholes trying to force everyone back to office are usually business executives that thrive on micro-managing everyone.

It's like shopping at a swapmeet. Looks great on display, prices are good, then you get home and realize everything you bought there was a total piece of shit.

My wife is a senior director over contracting for Sams Club. The problem I observed in her dealings with her team during WFH was that people didn’t work consistently, and were constantly having tech issues, or at least were using tech issues as an excuse to get out of work. They’re hybrid now, and are in office 2 1/2 days a week. Tuesday, Thursday, and half a day Friday.

I myself am a licensed master electrician (I own my own company) who works mostly on the residential construction side of things. I’ve never had the pleasure of working from home except to do my payroll every week. My job is hands on, on location. I personally think all you folks who don’t want to go to the office are a bunch of whiny crybabies.

The original NYT article pissed me off so much. I actually yelled out loud when he went giddy over China's 996 policy. (9 to 9, 6 days a week.)

I keep seeing article after article talking about how awful remote work is, but almost every study shows it increases productivity and life satisfaction. These assholes really can't handle their "lessers" gaining even a tiny bit more autonomy.

"Hello, My name is Dr. Sbaitso. I am here to help you."

I live on a tropical island, ain’t no way I’m going back to an office

Headline reads like a light novel title. (I read the article and have nothing to say about it.)

Great because it’s gotten half as fast lately so we will be back to where we started.

Will do, thanks!

Right, cause I'm so sure other workers were reporting them for just using the washroom..

Fuck em they were literally not doing their job, what did they expect? If you ran a company would you want to pay anyone to do nothing all day? If theyre working so little their coworkers are making complaints you know it's bad. No one wants to watch someone else who's doing the same job as you slack off to the point it creates extra work for them.

Well it's a police union so what did yah expect?

Standard blog-type article. Write the same paragraph a dozen times and call it a day.

Because of the very thing they're writing about, I imagine.

The max penalty for firing workers who won't show up when obligated or perform duties while taking their wage is nothing. Organizing a union doesn't give them a free pass on their employment responsibilities.

1. Why would they want this over literally anything else
2. Why would *I* want this as a customer.
3. No more questions.

AOC and Bernie talk about it a little and that’s where accountability ends

It’s ok - consequences no longer exist

Option included by default.

I don't owe these guys a god damn thing. I wish they'd stop acting like I do.
