Asking because I'm genuinely curious myself, how much of this is unemployment vs the fact that so many more people work from home now compared to pre-2008? Many of those that WFH work a more flexible schedule and probably structure their days a lot differently than 20+ years ago.
- zerr 3mo agoYes, remote and part-time. Shopping on Monday afternoons is enjoyable.
- ahnick 3mo agoBeen remote since 2013 and can confirm Monday afternoon shopping is the alpha. ;-)
- stevenwoo 3mo agoI used to encounter maybe one person who did not have a head of gray hair, i.e. obviously retired, in a variety of mid peninsula parks in Silicon Valley on weekdays pre covid during the work day and nowadays I run into a dozen or more in a typical half day outing on a week day and this trend definitely started during pandemic. But I don’t know if it’s unemployment or WFH now.
