The amendment limits remote work for Ohioans working for the state of Ohio. Probably still silly and short-sighted, but not as bad as I was imagining.

- diegoholiveira 3y agoIt’s a personal opinion, citation is not required.
- tomrod 3y agoSubjective judgements which are quantifiably proven or disproven should be replaced with evidence.
- LadyCailin 3y agoNo it’s not. A personal opinion would be “I wish people would work in person more often.” “In person work reduces waste” is a (perhaps true, perhaps not) statement of fact, which is very reasonable to ask for a citation about.
- diegoholiveira 3y ago“i think” is what makes it a personal opinion.
- EA-3167 3y agoWhat's the evidence for your belief? What sort of waste are we talking about? Is that waste enough to offset the fuel/time use for commuting?
- thehappypm 3y agoThe waste of government employees pretending to work at home, funded by tax dollars. It’s a huge epidemic that the pandemic made into a gold mine
- aeze 3y agoI'd be careful of such a generalization. Studies seem to be a wash. I'd imagine it depends on the policies and processes of a given organization.
- candiddevmike 3y agoRemote work is the ultimate way to get offices to become paperless.
- chrismcb 3y agoI don't know why you need to clarify that you are a taxpayer. But I would argue that in person work creates more waste. Between commuting and real estate. It might be easier for a remote worker to not work, but it should be easy for a manager to notice their employee isn't working.
- vore 3y agoWell, as a taxpayer I think in-person work increases waste. Now it's even!
- jschveibinz 3y agoThis is a valid opinion. No downvotes are necessary for valid opinions. This is an open forum, not a shooting gallery.
- rimunroe 3y agoA factual claim is by definition not an opinion
- whyenot 3y agoAs a taxpayer, I think a lot of different things. That doesn't mean I am right! State employees also do a lot of different jobs. A park ranger working remotely might indeed be wasteful, but maybe someone who is an accountant gets more done working remotely.
