This is a little tone deaf honestly, and not for the reasons people might think.
Amazon factory workers can’t dial it in. Nor can restaurant workers, or grocery shelf stockers, or gas station attendants, or truck mechanics, or of course almost everyone in the medical/police/fire profession.
Sure, people who can work from home effectively should. But there are also 300 million people desperately depending on supply lines staying up, and shelves staying stocked, manufacturing of basic goods, and food supply continuing.
Despite any “shelter in place” orders, there’s probably a solid 30% of the employed population which one way or the other are doing mission critical work. Charter is providing mission critical services, and while a small percentage of their workforce probably could dial it in, I wouldn’t be surprised if the vast majority of people there actually need to be on-site to do their job.
Maybe most of those people have to commute in to the Bay Area though...
