New York City Mayor Eric Adams Calls For Companies To Quickly Bring Workers Back To The Office
Forbes ^ | 2.17.2022 | Jack Kelly

Posted on 02/17/2022 3:16:15 PM PST by libh8er

New York City Mayor Eric Adams met with 100 chief executive officers, in an effort to cajole them “to get their workers back into the office to stimulate the city’s economy.”

He told the business leaders it was time to get their workers back in offices, stating that the lack of people commuting into the Big Apple hurts the city’s economy. The mayor said, “We can’t send mixed messages,” by delaying the return to work dates. “We can’t keep kicking the can down the road.”

"Let's start out with a three-day workweek, to let people see how safe it is to come back to work, then we cycle back into a five-day week," Adams said. He added, “Now is the time for us to get back. I’m hoping within the next few weeks the CEOs map out a real plan of ‘this is when you need to come back.’”

Now that former commuters have learned that life is good when you don’t commute, this could get interesting....

Come back to work so they can be robbed?

Need to impeach the D.A. Until there are consequences for crime it’ll just get more unlivable and drive out businesses.

But that’s a win for Demonrats. Taxpayers leave = more Dim voters.

The typical commute to NYC is a couple of hours wasted each day for a lot of CT and NJ commuters—totally insanity now that remote work has been well established for most office cubicle jobs.

So the CEO's aren't particularly keen but the mayor is pleading with them. Could it be that the city's tax revenue is down ?

Nope. Work from home has proven superior in the majority of cases; there is no reason for most companies to return to their Manhattan quarters.

Yeah, pry them out of the safety of their homes and force them into my murder cage for the sake of my taxes.

He fires 1400 city workers for not getting the jabs, then tells business leaders to get their people back to work. How do you expect to stimulate the economy of New York City, if you fire massive numbers of people who won’t have money to spend there?

Running out of money. No tax revenues.

Not the governor’s business. If he really wants workers back and he stop any jab mandates.
