not the first time i've seen this take but it's come up again thanks to jassy's comments yesterday. even zuck chimed in.
i think that for some companies there will always be a strong physical office presence. think google in mountain view or apple in cupertino.
but when satellite office leases expire then i would expect the #rto mandate to loosen up #wfh

Recruiter just asked me if I wanted to commute into the city for a job.
Does the company want to pay me for gas, tolls, parking, public transportation?
On the low end, that's at least $12K a year plus the added stress.
This is my current desk configuration! Let me know what you think! I attempted some cable management haha

Company towns and employers providing "sleeping rooms" in offices is just modern-day #slavery, perhaps with extra steps.
(Yes, I am willing to die on this hill but I will absolutely appreciate any allies who want to join me in my last stand.)

#WorkersRights groups say pushing employees back to the office against their will stands only to strengthen the growing #LaborMovement in the tech space." #BigTech

I work with people across time zones and am a night owl, on a 'maxiflex' schedule - and so TOTALLY respect and support this!

I have been having this admittedly unrefined and not fully developed thought about zero emissions and #capitalism. It seems if we are to truly - successfully - behave in such a way that nurtures people over profit and the Earth over worsening actions that encourage the #ClimateCrisis, we must migrate to an Online Work Force. What would exclusive -internet community work- look like? Well, no more cars. And everyone who works for businesses that require to them to be on site would just need to be given jobs online. No more going out to eat. No more buildings that require maintenance. Everyone would work online. Before you say anything: Yes, trolls, I know this can't be 100%, but it can be super close. The internet will need to be a free utility (or free-ish, tax it, I don't care). I am still trying to figure out how it could all work out, but a complete #WFH workforce seems to be just what the #internet is good at being able to do, given the right conditions. The realities of #ClimateChange just might demand such radical reforms.

I got the Elgato Key Light w/ a multi mount for my camera to upgrade the setup! This should really help the lighting during my video calls and livestreams! Highly would recommend it!

by #StaciZaretsky in #AboveTheLaw:
"Sources tell us that the firm revised the in-office attendance segment of its handbook as of March 6, 2023, to reflect the fact that associate bonuses may be impacted by inconsistent and infrequent office attendance. Specifically, '[f]ailure by any lawyer to comply with the operative in-office attendance policy may adversely affect the lawyer’s performance evaluation and result in disciplinary action, including but not limited to the withholding or reduction of a discretionary bonus (emphasis added), in accordance with applicable law.'”

I should just let youtube comments go, but every now and then you get a really smug and confident comment, which is just kinda silly.
