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.
Ironically, in the early weeks of the coronavirus pandemic, reports emerged saying that work-from-home was racist because black and Hispanic employees were less likely than Asian and white employees to have jobs that allowed them to work remotely.
The tech industry, which leans heavily to the left, is one of the industries known to make the greatest use of work from home.

Seriously??!!
Puhleeze.
Getting close to those white devils who vote non-Democrat.
Need a shower after having to be close to them. /S
Stop the madness. You get paid, go to work.
They never let up, do they?
We need to go our own separate ways.
So those racial groups are so incompetent a fragile they’re incapable to go to work? That is an extremely racist thing to believe.
Separate but equal.
They should leave the country then to get away from the anti-Black debbils. I hear Cuba is nice. North Korea, too. Venezuela is another.
The headline is somewhat misleading. It should read something like, “Making black employees and ‘employees of color’ show up in person exposes them to racism.” It’s fine to make white employees show up for work.
Go home? Racist
Come back? Racist
At some point all you can do is laugh.
We’re way beyond that point.
In Portland the NAACP had a hissy fit trying to get the police
unfunded. Now they’re blaming everyone but themselves
because crime has exploded.
I am sooooo sick of this I am becoming a racist.
….
Racism is oxygen to perpetual victims.
Employers considering a return-to-office mandate should make sure they are giving workers a reason to be in the office...
We faced this. We decided that the answer was "a paycheck". It's not like anyone's being forced into anything, just go work somewhere else where they allow WFH. Which is kinda sorta the point this article makes. Some of the people interviewed made the tradeoff of a lower paycheck for remote work, and more power to them. But the incessant preaching in the media about this topic is almost surreal.
And everything, absolutely everything, is racist as far as these Gen Z writers are concerned.
The reality is the exact opposite of what they claim. White people are far more likely to find racial discrimination in the workplace in the form of CRT seminars and a pervasive DEI atmosphere which teach them that they are evil no matter how they behave or what they believe, and which puts them in a constant state of apprehension about violating one of the ever-changing rules of political correctness by committing some “microaggression.”
The good news is that if you can work from home, AI will work from home too. Buh-bye!
But the photo is of a black man on a zoom call? Sure, nobody on the call can see his skin color. After 60,000 hours selling, I’ll learn your race, subculture, generation, and communication style in seconds. 😂 Video is racist, STFU lol. Oh no! If you see me you might judge me. 😂 The left is beyond absurd.
Yep. I experience racism at work. I experienced it when I went into a Starbucks which is why I will never go there again. I went to a deli last week, and was verbally harassed and menaced when I came out by a crazy white woman. No place is safe!
If racism is rampant where they work, Quit!
