Not our problem.
"Don't buy things you can't afford" applies to capitalists, too. They insisted on cramming everyone into loud bullpen office spaces, decried WFH as "laziness" or a "privilege" for years, failed to invest in modern technology, and now their big dumb plan is backfiring. Sounds like a valuable lesson!
- jedberg 3y agoOf course it's not our problem. But they make it our problem by making all the jobs RTO.
- CapstanRoller 3y agoOne way we can make the shit roll back uphill is by taking away our labor (which they desperately need). Do it by "laying flat" or "quiet quitting" or a general strike, whatever gets the goods. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang_ping https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang_ping
- RestlessMind 3y ago> Not our problem. Neither is someone not finding a WFH job and having to RTO. Ultimately, it boils down to who has the most leverage. My predictions for tech jobs: 1) most of the jobs will be hybrid in future because everyone loves Monday and Friday WFH. There will be a minority of jobs on either extremes (fully WFH, fully office). 2) Within those super smart people who will always be in demand, there will be all types of preferences (some WFH, some office, some hybrid). 3) For the rest who are mere cogs, they will meekly follow whatever their company dictates.
