“Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey makes bizarre joke about remote work, says it turns you into ‘a loser’”
__________________________________________
Loser of a magnificent amount of unproductive circumstances in your life, that is. That’s the silver lining to the plandemic, in my book.
I used to spend an average 3 hours a day in Atlanta traffic. It was very stressful, a major expense, waste of time, and a unnecessary risk of life and livelihood for my family.
I’m very fortunate to work in a field where I can perform very well remotely. Not every person can, depending on their field of work and even personality traits.
Hat. Not purse.
His governor tim Walz shut down Minnesota and pushed everyone to remote work. Now no one wants to go back to crime ridden downtown Minneapolis.
Eff both of them.
Well l was strictly speaking about the working from home aspect of it. In a way he’s right but not in the way he meant it
Yeah—my wife just corrected me after I read her my post.
They probably would steal the hat as well.
Lol.
I loved working at home before I retired.
I did not miss listening to the LaQuishas screaming on the phone a few cubicles down about her “good boy” and his latest brush with the law.
My productivity substantially increased—and we had bosses smart enough to know how to measure it.
They showered me with praise and did not want me to retire.
Like everything it depends on the character of the individual.
The only way workers can get away with abusing work at home is if their bosses are stupid.
Get rid of stupid bosses and the problems go away.
At least I worked and paid in full for my house, my couch, my laptop and my nasty cat blanket.
I mean, why work from home when you can go downtown shit-hole and get mugged?
Mayor Jacob Frey is bitter that he can't get suburbanites to pay for his Democrat paradise.
Large companies are leaving downtown Louisville. I worked for LG&E. We had something like 13 floors of a “skyscraper” across from the Yum center. We also had offices across town in an old Sears retail building. It was a minature version of the Sears retail/office building in Sodo in Seattle that was taken over by Starbucks. We had a lot of meetings there.
They closed downtown and moved everything there. And now another large employer just left town. We still have a lot of Humana down there but they own their buildings as far as I know. BTW, the new LG&E building is here:

oh yes he does.
With just a few more years before retirement, it is a blessing to be able to commute from my bed to the den every morning. I was able to move away from the maddening crowds and settle into a nice little village along the coast.
The downside is with communicating through MS Teams, other employees are constantly chirping in with “BRB” and “I’m Back” all day along. Like I care whether they have to go to the bathroom or get coffee and will be away from their computer for a few minutes.
Office vacancy rate is high. Downtown businesses and restaurants suffer. High crime cities like Minneapolis enter the doom loop.
What a load.... I’m IT... I’ve worked Remote off and on since 2000
You know why the started remote work in IT? .. so they can call you 24/7/365 to work when you are not in the office or not on site...
If your home is your work location
You find out fast
you don’t work from home
You live at work
Really once you go remote.... companys think you working 60 hours a week plus should be normal
And if your company operates 24/7/365... you expected to work in the middle of the night is normal
I moved out of that godforsaken state.
They went full nutcase during COVID.
I don’t live there(heaven forbid) but if it’s not safe to work in the downtown area & you can accomplish your job remotely, who’s to say that’s not the way to go? The mayor & certain others need to be downtown, but maybe not everybody considering the conditions. I always went to work at my workplace, but there wasn’t any other way. Besides, we didn’t have the situations that Minneapolis apparently has. Still don’t as near as I can determine.
