We’re talking about the huge number of jobs that went remote due to a global pandemic, and you want to wait for the pandemic to be “out of everybody’s minds” before we figure out how the remote work should be handled going forward? Ignoring the possibility of another one coming up, this isn’t going to be gone for a long time, and sending everybody back when preliminary studies imply benefits is catering to the people that don’t like it more than bringing back any supposed benefits of office work

Yeah, let's swap out all of his tools for ones from Harbor Freight and then tell him he's a slacker every time one breaks and he has to go get a replacement one.

Dear God I would kill for your job. The stress and competition in my job is degrading my health and sucking the joy out of everything in life.

What department are you in? What qualifications would someone need?

Gas companies not making as much money

Car sales are down

Restaurants aren't getting as much business

The only thing remote work is bad for... is lining the pockets of rich assholes and making CEO bonuses higher.

Reminds me of when Romney was running for president and said something about his wife being a "stay at home mom" at some point.

Sorry, but if you are in an income bracket where you don't just have paid help to make things a bit easier, but have "household staff" then you are not what the term is at all about.

I miss the site from before that dipshit took over. I followed interesting people and cool artists, and felt like there was an opportunity to actually communicate with them. I was able to keep tabs on projects multiple indie artists and devs were working on, and get useful responses to my inquiries from reps for large corporations.

Fuck Musk.

I agree, much better idea to focus on accident statistics regarding the commute that we now know is completely unnecessary.

The thing about a world-changing global pandemic is that everyone has a little more context about what is actually important.

Regulation? How about you just don’t do it? It’s like he is saying “I did it because the government didn’t stop me”!

Edit: I get the larger need for regulation. It just funny how the guy who did it gets caught then pivots to saying more regulation is needed.
