A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I completely agree! See you never bucko

[–] Grimr0c@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

No problem, I'm on the way out the door anyway with this stupid, corrupt, abusive company.

[–] HubertManne@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Well. Im sure you will attract the best and the brightest.

He's right, you know... no smart and successful business owner wants to ensure their employees' happiness.

/s <- do we need these over here? Lol

And this is where we diverge culturally. The rest of us in the workforce that haven't been brain-washed to believe that the old school corporate lifestyle/mentality is the way things should be will go find jobs elsewhere for companies that are much more progressive (or start companies of our own). The Jamie Dimons of the world will be left with only their vacant ass commercial real estate still saying "nobody wants to work" or some shit.

This is the same shitbag behind WADU. He can get bent.

If you're just joining us, the is the "Fuck Around" part of the meme. See you soon when he realizes how right he is!

There’s more nuance to what he said if people take time to read the article. I’m a huge fan of working from home, but it has drawbacks. One that Jamie notes is that a lack of office environment is terrible for someone starting their career, which is true.

I assure you, JPMC office environments, as they currently are used, are useless. They're making everyone operate as though we work from home, while in office. We still use Zoom for everything... 40 feet away from eachother. Its as stupid as it sounds.

You aren't going to get people who will be willing to accept that anything but full WFH would be good here.

Nobody should listen to billionaire boomer fucks.

Oh, alright. That's pretty much what I've been doing. Is he expecting the people do back down on idiotic threats? I've been on the job hunt for pretty much exactly 19 minutes before I've got a call from HR of my new company and two meetings later they were happy to give me a remote first contract. At least where I am it's not hard to get a good paying job from home if you've got some experience. My colleague had a harsher time because she was just getting into development, but it was not like she had to hunt for long.

Ya these people are so out of touch (so more likely they want people in buildings so they are getting people to come in so buildings aren’t empty) that’s my guess at least.

Business don’t wanna pay for a lease with no one in there, since work from home can be fine but they seem to despise it. Makes no sense.
