Yep. I work for large banks. I wouldn’t even joke at the office. I would never talk about anything other than the weather or my dog. You simply cannot give anybody any excuse to make an HR complaint about you.....especially if you were so careless as to not pick your sex and ethnicity with current fashions in politics in mind before you were born.

Absolutely. Have you seen most of the under 30’s nowadays.

They can stay home, not inter act, not collaborate, not mentor, etc. But that’s it, don’t look for a promotion or growth.

If they had the wrong skin color or genitalia, they're not going to get promoted anyway.

Promotions in many industries are only when leaving one company to go to another.

[T.B. Yoits]

We needed "the man" at the office to keep us in line.

Being in the office just subjects one to the boss's deficiencies.

Conversely, I'm a computer screen away, more accessible than ever before, especially since most of the meaningful interaction is with people in other divisions and with outside companies.

Absolutely. Have you seen most of the under 30’s nowadays.

No work ethic. No shame.

[MinorityRepublican]

Better get used to having to work again. The companies aren’t going to keep subsidizing video gaming on the company dime.

The party is over.

[PLMerite]

What happens when they stop getting paid ?

[Right Wing Vegan]

and most important to me, no woke bitch that tries to destroy everyone.

Most certainly a threat not to be underestimated.

[Dr. Sivana]

Can’t play video games at the office.

You can… just on the phone.

The Government supports them. Or charities do and they open a Go Fund Me account and the fools support them.

“32,000 workers in 17 countries”... Now that is a solid statistic. Bravo. Offices, movie theaters and DOS programs are so 1990.

[Organic Panic]

Didn’t stop Toobin

What do any of these companies produce?

[minnesota_bound]

When I was working in the office we had people who regularly called in sick. When we were working from home we had those same people calling in sick....

Why do you think they call it "work?"

At the end of the day, the free market will prevail. The inconvenient truth for the "you must be in the office 5 days a week" crowd is that more and more companies are offering either a hybrid or a virtual work environment. Millennials and Gen Z workers with younger children, will be leaving the companies with the old school mindset and going with those that will better meet their needs.

Situations and technology have changed and, lets face it, there is no longer a compelling reason to insist on employees being in the office 5 days a week. Of course, there are some jobs where that is not feasible. For a lot of industries however,the old in the office 5 days a week is no longer necessary. Employees now have a choice as to which environment to work in and they now hold the cards. (There is a labor shortage if you didn't know) So employers better learn to swim or they will sink like a stone for the times they are a changing.

[Sir_Humphrey]

Why do you think they call it "work?"

Yeah, when I was in the corporate world that was one of one biggest lines of shite they fed their employees.

[Political Junkie Too]

I'm glad I'm not a part of it anymore, either.

I guess everybody is used to sitting at home and don't want to interact with anybody anymore

If you're sitting at home and your productivity is as high or higher than it was when you were in the office then what difference does it make>
