Please don't talk for all of us. If you're miserable in the office that's fine, but it's noones duty to support your preferences. This is why we have this amazing free market - everyone can work at a company that respects their preferences.
- krageon 6y ago> amazing free market > everyone can No. Most people don't have good options. It's a little ironic to say the OP needs more empathy and then go on to make an argument that's almost breathtakingly disconnected from reality.
- izacus 6y agoI've seen many breathtaking articles on this very page which claim that majority of companies are shifting towards permanent WFH. They were followed by predictions that this will increase. How am I disconnected from reality?
- irq 6y agoJust in terms of reduced CO2 emissions due to fewer people commuting because they can work from home, and the impact this has on climate change, he is correctly speaking for all of us, if by all of us you mean life on Earth.
- izacus 6y agoIf that's the main driver, then instead of forced WFH, let's do a blanket ban of cars. Not just commute to work, but force people to stay at home at all times. After all, we're ignoring all the other effects here right?
- andrewzah 6y agoTackling climate change is a step at a time. First, we support WFH. Then, we can move on to other things. And yes- I would like to see a total ban on gas guzzling cars in my lifetime. I would like to see cities built around walkability, and ban all types of cars entirely in the city center. Etc. But it's a step by step process.
- andrewzah 6y agoHmm, and does this free market give us the option of quiet, small offices, with doors? Or do we overwhelmingly get the "option" of open offices?
