Wfh till aug at least. The leadership is desperately trying to make it seem like this is very sad. “The CEO will be the first person back at the office!”

our ceo is being super "this will take a while, everyone be patient" but it seems like there's some employees who really want out of the house. it was mentioned that one option was individual teams getting a "shift" of a couple weeks and rotating so everyone doesn't expose everyone else at once

it's obviously not even possible until childcare/school options are available

my boss doesn't seem to realize this, probably because he is rich enough to have a stay at home wife for his three kids

not that we particularly need to be in the office for what we do, beyond like printing stuff i guess. digitally redlining plans has been a widespread thing for over a decade now

also goddamn am i glad i haven't jumped ship over to the public sector yet - the governor just announced that all state employees are taking a 10% pay cut

quote:

He said the pay reduction applies to him and his staff. The cut applies to all state workers, including those in health care and public safety, Finance Director Keely Bosler said.

Pay raises many state workers were scheduled to receive in July also seem to be off the table, since the proposal calls for reducing pay by 10 percent as of June.

reminds me of the time that motorola had a lovely year and they said that they were _fairly_ cutting bonuses 60% across the board, so the ceo went from 2.5 mill to a paltry 1mill and i went from 2000 to 800 bucks

at the public school i work, the union negotiated for 3 years to get us a 2% raise. meanwhile, the university president hinted that they may be moving on and immediately got a 50% bump

we have still not been told about any plans on returning other than they're "working on it" and it will probably be in "phases"

the city is still stay at home until june 8 at the earliest, and the mayor has released a specific plan on how they intend to start reopening and has put together committees in all the business sectors and such, so it remains to be seen when we can even start thinking about it.

Our current plan is that we are all work from home indefinitely unless you have a specific reason to be at the office, which I do occasionally. I guess the laser lab I built is also just my personal office now as well? That way I can work without a mask since no one else will be in there. A few of my friends are considering moving to Honolulu though because their job in SF is going to be wfh forever and they would rather live here and pay less in rent.

I’m currently trying to convince my wife that if I go forever wfh then we should do this

the only catch is that at my current job Standup is at 10a EST which is what, 4 or 5a in Hawaii?

I got married this Christmas in Tahiti and while I was over there I had a remote offer and like a dummy didn’t take it.


As we were heading back me and the misses looked at Hawaii was the fallback option because Tahitian visas looked like a PITA. I was worried that the market was gonna be too tied to defense contractor work, and that if I lost my remote job I’d be screwed.

we knew it was coming -- arnold crossed that rubicon in 2009 and they know it's something they can always go back to

it'll most likely take the form of furloughs 2 days a month, which... okay i've been doing that voluntarily for years because extra days off are cool so it won't affect me at all but i realize i'm speaking from privilege and good fortune here

also i worked until 2:30 last night and I just woke up lol
