lmao everybody is now fully aware of how expensive and unnecessary office space in major metros is. No company is ever going to pay for floorspace again when they can just pocket the difference. galaxy brain: buy office space buy office space but make it really small and call it an open plan Make them pay for their own office space but with zoom and slack logos over the face Methanar fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Apr 20, 2020 |

lancemantis posted:Yes computer people; for plenty of reasons Why. Office space in major metro areas is anywhere between 60-100 dollars a sqft, if some executive sees a chance to move that to his bonus, he will. Making your serfs pay for their own space to sit in is a giant power move imo. You can even hold that 'privilege' over them like pressuring for afterhours work, because after all, why not. Why would you watch TV at 7pm when your work computer is right there and waiting for you. You might as well use your time productively (executive bonuses)

Some people will be back at offices because their management demands it Some people will be back because they’re functioning extroverts and like it Some people have labs that they need to be in to do work Someone will have to do CJing Etc Like I’ll be back and plenty of others in my work space will because it’s not possible for us to do all our work from home; plenty of people have been doing training or classes or taking emergency leave or finding home-able work if they can

and if any one of you filthy bastards pipes up with "lol thats dumb why would a corporation pay for my home office space when i occasionally strum a guitar or pet a cat in there, it's not dedicated space" i will invite you to return to licking your master's boots, as you are so obviously inclined to do

CJ doesn't count because that's actually dependent on office spaces existing in the first place. I had a frame relay lab that was remotely accessible ten years ago (serial console and adsl baby) fair dinkum
