No one is being gaslit. They're being forced to return against their volition. Everyone is aware of the ruse.

- mlhpdx 3y agoMany people are being told “you work better in the office“ by their leadership. If that’s not gaslighting I’m not sure what it is.
- Solvency 3y agoI'm saying they're not falling for it. They're returning because they have to. Not because they believe they're more productive there.
- mlhpdx 3y agoI think of the word in the context of the attempt, rather than the outcome. We agree on the situation, but I do think folks are “falling for it” as they are the storyline of job scarcity (also pure BS as we sit, though it may become true).
- boredemployee 3y agoyep. A few of us meet once a week in a shared office, and those who can't always attend are somehow ridiculed by one of the founders. I think this is idiotic, why hire people from hundreds of kilometers away then?
- voidwtf 3y agoI think you’re both right, they’re attempting to gaslight people but everyone actually on the ground knows the truth. They’re saving time and money while accomplishing all the same goals.
- voidwtf 3y agoAll the commercial real estate “gurus” are looking quite foolish now with all the assets they can’t unload or refinance. If someone tells you the party is going to last forever, they’re a fool. Look at Airbnb “gurus” too, they priced themselves out. It’s cheaper to stay at a hotel now.
