I have to say, the gently threatening tone of this article really rubs me the wrong way. And it coincides with "stay in town or take a pay cut" rhetoric that was on my feed earlier today, from Facebook. (Despite this development, the article doesn't mention it... maybe it will be updated at some point.) I guess, after reflecting, what I don't like about it is that it tells us to be afraid. Be afraid about a way of working that might work really well for some, or even a lot, of people. Here's a fun quote from the article: > But the big challenge is how to safely move thousands of people to and from the suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne and their offices in George or Collins streets. They're saying this in the context of a population living under pandemic protocols, but it's true all of the other time anyways. It takes a massive amount of engineering and energy to move masses of people from one place to another. Doing it needlessly is insane. I suspect that what it comes down to is control, or apparent control, of a workforce. Especially in large organizations. We're going to see who is comfortable with giving up control and who isn't, and that's going to be interesting.
