L.A. Times: Making Employees Show Up in Person Exposes Them to Racism
Breitbart ^ | 08/08/2023 | Joel B Pollack

Posted on 08/08/2023 5:18:38 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that making employees shift from work-from-home to showing up in person risks exposing black employees and workers “of color” to the racism that some say that they experience in person at the workplace.

In an article titled “Remote work gave them a reprieve from racism. They don’t want to go back,” the Times reported:

[M]any Black workers and other people of color … found that remote work lessened the racism they faced on the job.

But it forces workers to make a difficult choice — prioritize your mental health or endure for the sake of your career. Remote job opportunities are shrinking as more companies require that workers come back to the office. And even in hybrid workplaces, remote employees can be at a disadvantage for career advancement since managers sometimes forget about them or assume they are less productive than their in-person peers, a concept called proximity bias.

Throughout the pandemic, survey after survey showed what some workers of color have known for years: Workplace politics and discrimination can make the office an undesirable place to be.

Last time I looked at a black dude that I work with on Zoom, he looked, well, black.

Not a big surprise, so the question is how working from home prevents him from racism.

Yes, indeed. When you call everything and everyone racist, there’s no way to really step it up from there.

“Is everybody becoming retarded these days or what? Critical thinking is out the door..”

The C19 vaxxxes and boosters have cratered many American brains and minds. Post scamdemic, Anything goes when it comes to blacks. Old rules are out. Including mass retail theft and looting during broad daylight.

What a stretch! I find it difficult to believe that the person who wrote this article is considered a writer or a journalist.

Obviously we need a massive program to pay blacks and “people of color” to stay at home and not work.

Hmmm...
This may be true if you live in an American suburb and have to return to work in any significant-sized city...
Particularly if you have to make the journey in public transportation...
Black racism is rampant...

So working from home and speaking on the phone with them will also do the same, might as well just pay them outright for not working
