“When they stay home, sitting on their couch with their nasty cat blanket, diddlin’ on their laptop. If they do that for a few months, you become a loser. It’s a study. We’re not losers, are we?”

Mary Richards dutifully went to the downtown offices at WJM even during the brutal Minneapolis winters, having to put up with the likes of Ted Baxter and Sue Ann Nivens in person. She had to actively hide the run in her stockings from Lou Grant. In the end, she and almost everyone else to went to the office everyday still lost their jobs.

So that requires people to drive cars to work, doesn’t that contribute to Climate Change?

His comment is odd. But when I had to work remote I almost lost my mind after a year of that. Some of my staff loved it. Fewer didn’t. And a slightly smaller number really just took advantage of it.

The “benefits” of downtown Minneapolis. Having lived there for 2 years, what are those benefits?

Let’s see, they have elevated walkways so you can walk from place to place without busting your ass on the frozen sidewalks while being out in the bitter cold.

Can’t do much about the rampant crime though.

Oh, and you still have to live in Minneapolis where we had multiple weeks each winter as in 2 and 3 week stretches when it never got above 0. No, not freezing. Never above ZERO degrees. Have I mentioned there is about a 4 month stretch when it doesn’t get light til 9, gets dark at 4 and even for those 7 hours its like dusk? You can look up in the sky and not even know where the sun is. The blanket of gray is that thick.

Who wouldn’t want to live in that? That just beats the hell out of living somewhere fit for human habitation and paying much less to do so.

I was thinking the same thing. The younger generations love the remote work thing.

I think the guy is partially correct though. It depends how and why remote workers are doing it. You’ve got different kinds. You got the losers (or the ones that metastasize into losers) who sit around watching TV and playing xBox, get almost no human interaction (unless you count discord), and turn into out-of-shape, malcontents with anxiety spectrum disorders. They may be nice people, but they suffer because of their seclusion. But then you have the self-motivators. People who actually become more productive at home, don’t isolate, and use some of the extra time they make for social, competitive/sports, or productive activities.

Remote work IS STARVING liberal cities of a major source of revenue and power.

I want everyone to work remotely, wherever possible.

This is a major benefit from COVID days, and we must not let it go back to the prior “normal.”

He's making a joke here. He's not actually talking about remote workers.

“Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey makes bizarre joke about remote work, says it turns you into ‘a loser’”

__________________________________________

Loser of a magnificent amount of unproductive circumstances in your life, that is. That’s the silver lining to the plandemic, in my book.

I used to spend an average 3 hours a day in Atlanta traffic. It was very stressful, a major expense, waste of time, and a unnecessary risk of life and livelihood for my family.

I’m very fortunate to work in a field where I can perform very well remotely. Not every person can, depending on their field of work and even personality traits.

His governor tim Walz shut down Minnesota and pushed everyone to remote work. Now no one wants to go back to crime ridden downtown Minneapolis.

Eff both of them.

At least I worked and paid in full for my house, my couch, my laptop and my nasty cat blanket.

Everything anyone needed to learn about downtown Minneapolis they learned in 2020.

Mayor Jacob Frey is bitter that he can't get suburbanites to pay for his Democrat paradise.

Large companies are leaving downtown Louisville. I worked for LG&E. We had something like 13 floors of a “skyscraper” across from the Yum center. We also had offices across town in an old Sears retail building. It was a minature version of the Sears retail/office building in Sodo in Seattle that was taken over by Starbucks. We had a lot of meetings there.

They closed downtown and moved everything there. And now another large employer just left town. We still have a lot of Humana down there but they own their buildings as far as I know. BTW, the new LG&E building is here:

With just a few more years before retirement, it is a blessing to be able to commute from my bed to the den every morning. I was able to move away from the maddening crowds and settle into a nice little village along the coast.

The downside is with communicating through MS Teams, other employees are constantly chirping in with “BRB” and “I’m Back” all day along. Like I care whether they have to go to the bathroom or get coffee and will be away from their computer for a few minutes.

What a load.... I’m IT... I’ve worked Remote off and on since 2000

You know why the started remote work in IT? .. so they can call you 24/7/365 to work when you are not in the office or not on site...

If your home is your work location

You find out fast

you don’t work from home

You live at work

Really once you go remote.... companys think you working 60 hours a week plus should be normal

And if your company operates 24/7/365... you expected to work in the middle of the night is normal

Little soyboy Frey is the loser here. He’s merely a tool of the left. Keith Ellison, Mary Moriarty, and the misfit city council are running the asylum.
Frey is under the deception that he’s got something to say about things. He doesn’t.
Crime is out of control, criminals are released instantly, charges are not filed where they should be.
Minneapolis is a democrat/socialist disaster.
