Excellent. Remote work is BS.

Elon Musk’s first email to Twitter employees ends remote work. Employees will be expected to be in the office for 40 hours/week

"Remote work" is basically an oxymoron.

Unfortunately for Musk, as soon as his Twitter "workforce" receives his email, another 75% of them will immediately quit. Then again, maybe that's his email's purpose.

That message alone will get some more to quit so there will be no need to pay severance.

I can be just as lazy in an office as I can at home

And now he can monitor them properly and cut the dead wood out.

I presume this is the reason he chose this path.

Make them wear masks all day. Just to drive the point home.

i work remote, all my coworkers in my dept are all over the USA, my boss is in Iowa. if I go into work, i can slack as much if not more, my office is 1/2 hour drive, and I would be the only person in the entire north wing today.

i can see where they’re coming from if they’re paying for a big empty building that no one goes to. my company should selling the office space and save millions on maintenance and rent.

but that’s also the nature of my job, i can work from home or drive to my office ‘home’ and loose few hours of productivity. it serves no purpose for me, there isn’t even cockroaches in the office for me to socialize with.

the technology is great, the advent of food delivery means i can eat at almost any restaurants in the city; in my room while i’m working. i don’t have to spend money on gas as much so i could have ay for sushi, steak, delivery etc instead.

while this does not apply for other jobs. tech company should take this approach, with good automated monitoring software.

i’m still fiercely loyal to my company and never took other offers of higher paying jobs (you don’t really get promoted at tech jobs, you have to change jobs to make more). i plan to retire early in 3 years.

Force me to do that, the electronic leash comes off and you wait until the next business day when I’m physically there, like you wanted, for something to get fixed. No more after hours remote access.

You mean they’ll actually have to get some work done for a change?

He can get more to quit by requiring men not have a ponytail and men and women cannot have jewelry thru their nose or lips or tongue and no hair dyed weird colors and dress normal.

I enjoyed working remotely during the lockdown — no need to commute or get dressed. If tired, I could take a nap, then resume.

Coming to work has its advantages also, and for me, is necessary, as I deal with the public and physically handle things. However, I would like the option to stay home and work remotely during inclement weather. Ever since I slipped on ice and broke my shoulder, I insisted on staying home until everything is cleared up.
