Reply to comment by Kahrg in I Would Love to Have Enough Time and Money to Go to an Office to Work All Day - Perhaps Steven Rattner and the executives complaining to him about their remote employees could lend me a hand (or $50,000 more a year). by speckz

Car sales are down. And yet, somehow, car prices are still very high. Work from home has absolutely extended the life span of our car so we don’t need to replace it yet, and the unreasonable prices are making us really, really uninterested in replacing it until we absolutely have to.

Reply to comment by UsecMyNuts in Apple illegally fired five labor activists, union says | The workers, who were disciplined and fired for attendance-related issues, believe they were let go because of their union organizing by chrisdh79

For naming other employees they should be personally sued for workplace harassment. If you publicly slander your teammates for what happened at your workplace, you should be fired first of all. If your statements about your coworker is untrue, you should be personally liable.

Fuck every person like this.

Words cannot describe the level of anger I feel reading and finding those links nothing you did but for FUCK SAKE WHY IS IT SO FUCKING HARD TO MAKE A NOT SHIT WEBSITE!

So anyways correct me of I'm wrong(I could easily miss the links due to the site being shit!) but that article doesn't link to the studies other then one which was unbelievable impossible to read on mobile.

https://www.prodoscore.com/whats-a-score-prodoscore-2/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=g&utm_term=prodoscore&utm_content=572126975707&utm_campaign=12521045419&keyword=prodoscore&utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=KB+Search+Brand+campaign&gclid=Cj0KCQiArt6PBhCoARIsAMF5wajSzpM0tW_ezBR8q2IhD0c0zUM_qSXbXtCOT2J3NNbLsyyYxymkChoaAhPXEALw_wcB

That's the first link and it's just their companies site no study but more importantly it's from a company that sells monitoring solutions you know stuff companies would use for remote work....and I'm sorry but I'm not trying to find a study from people who directly benefit from the results since it's pretty clear they have a bais in the matter.

https://owllabs.com/state-of-remote-work/2021/

That's the 2nd link(also site note Forbes says 3 studies but that company did 2 so it would be 4 studies) and the site is close to unusable on mobile for me but anyways ONCE AGAIN from a company that benefits from work from home....so yeah I'm not going to read those either.

https://www.ergotron.com/en-us/

The last link is a another sales company.....and the study found hybrid work the best and they just coincidentally happen sell both office and home stuff.....and also I just went off of what Forbes said as well since I couldn't even find a study on their site.

I don't mean to be rude but did you look a the links yourself? Why would you believe a study from a companies who benefits from the results? What do you think of the results didn't favor them they would publish it? Especially when finding said study on their sites is extremely difficult(for me at least) for I would definitely say not trustworthy.

If nothing else, less time lost to illness.

Granted I’m very salty about being sick right now, since last week was a week I had to be in office. That was the only place I went so whatever I got I had to have picked up from a coworker.

So far they’ve lost 3 days of work from me, and I lost my weekend and 3 evenings that I had counted on to get caught up on all the household tasks that have been piling up from a freaking YEAR of mandatory overtime, extra 5-6 hours a week.

False. Renewable energy is cheaper than coal EVEN WITH BATTERIES. It is not ruinously expensive as you falsely claim.

Clean energy is cheaper than coal across the whole US, study finds

>Almost every coal-fired power plant in the country could be cost-effectively replaced by local solar or wind and batteries, according to a groundbreaking new analysis.

Or they are hiring overseas. My company realized we can crush targets remotely...so now they decided they can rapidly expand in Brazil and India without the cost. My team is one of the only engineering teams in the entire company that hasn't been hit with this yet.

With that said, there ARE benefits from this policy - we have more support during on call hours.

Renewables get more expensive the more of them you use, because you need to start investing seriously in storage if you actually rely on them to keep the lights and heat on as opposed to just using them to replace some natural gas use, and storage is ruinously expensive. Even four hours of storage puts renewables above the cost of nuclear.

Good to see a reasonable person who doesn’t just see a threat to their job and freaks out. New technology always comes with the same concerns and challenges. I’m kinda like…people already fall for loads of obviously, transparently fake shit on Facebook, but somehow this is gonna be so much worse?
