How infantile are the so-called journalists at The New York Times? Well according to The New York Post, over 1,300 New York Times employees are refusing to return to the office and stop playing pandemic. While most companies have been back in the office for a while now, the pampered employees at The New York Times won't even return to the office three days a week, not even if they receive a free New York Times branded lunch box!
As part of an ongoing contract dispute between the paper and the News Guild journalists union, "as of Monday, 1,316 Times workers had signed a pledge not to return to the office. This includes 879 members of the News Guild, but also members of the Times Tech Guild and the union for Wirecutter, the paper’s product-recommendation spinoff," according to The Post.
The paper is even offering to give their childish employees lunch boxes with The New York Times logo on them as a return-to-office perk, yet they still weren't happy. According to the Post, "One source said that the branded NYT lunch boxes did not have any sandwiches or other lunch food inside. 'They were empty,' said one source. 'And the lunch box had no handles'."
According to a spokesperson with the Times, there aren't a specific number of mandated days of in-person work days but added "we continue to believe that a hybrid work environment best suits the New York Times at this moment.”
In addition to the spat over returning to work, the News Guild is currently negotiating an eight percent pay increase for its members.
The Post adds that "in addition to an 8% raise, the News Guild had been demanding a cost-of-living increase of 5.25% — and insisting that all workers who can work remotely retain that option indefinitely, and with no mandatory return to offices before July 2023. The Post is told that the labor union may soften on the cost-of-living hike."
If The New York Times had any common sense (which they obviously don't), they would immediately deunionize the paper and fire the 1,316 employees who won't come back to work. The pandemic has been over for at least a year and a half. Grow up.
Oh come on. We have a new pandemic. Monkeypox.
But of course the NYT could implement a mask and cork mandate to force people back into the office.
Yeah, get back in the office, dangit! Accept the long commutes, the beatdowns on mass transit, the filthy streets and the office politics, the newsroom wokesters suppressing any real differences of opinion, the sexual harassment traps, etc., etc.
Karma’s a bitch...
“ Oh come on. We have a new pandemic. Monkeypox.”
This is very likely a great threat in the NYT offices. Particularly the boy’s bathrooms.
fire them, backfill with other woke communist lovers, and move on.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.....................😜
“We have a new pandemic. Monkeypox.”
This is a major threat to the perverts who staff the NYT.
Seriously.
I'll take a 13.25% raise, where do I get mine?
Let it wither on the vine.
“Childish NYT Staff Won’t Return to Office, Whine About Free Lunches”
life is tough ...
Get everyone out of there, level the building and salt the earth beneath it. Or, nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Get everyone out of there?......................why???..................
They do not know the difference between a lunch box and a boxed lunch.

The victim was shot tp death on the subway for no apparent reason by a stranger. Welcome to New York.
Kind of makes me wonder what the difference is between a NYT “journalist” and any other blogger pontificating from his Mom’s basement. I mean seriously, what’s the difference?
The NYT people are better dressed...................
“Get everyone out of there?......................why???..................”
Because I’m not a murderer. However, if we moved the UN to Mogadishu or Gaza, I might be inclined to turn the other cheek.
