Why don’t allow employees to WFH full time and only come to office as necessary? Why don’t government stimulate and encourage corps who promote full time (not 1 day a week for good behavior) WFH policies? There is absolutely no need for 2&#

“This is rubbish that you know cannot be recycled, and it makes me really angry that our country has to endure this,” she said in an interview. Were they ever forced to accept this with no say into this? Or it's just change of mindset

As a customer - in this case I don't want to build "relationship" with some random middleman reseller. I know exactly what i want and rather avoid wasting time on upsells thrown at me. I understand that sales departments stro

That's correct - the price that "someone" paid for these things is searchable and discoverable. The problem is that to buy this thing I still have to go through the sleazy, "personalized", time wasting sales process

Unrelated - but #2 is interesting. Last year I was on a market for high-end car (~$100k price tag) and one dealer who had the vehicle we wanted absolutely refused to give the price via email and insisted that I had to drive 1 hr for a perso

It's more like: "how much does it cost for that specific model of a washing machine?". You shouldn't be forced to "call for pricing".

To me the clear winner of business would be the site that has available pricing for base + options. Literally they can make an easy $2-$4k sale just by adding [Buy now] button, considering that the rest of the pack are playing tough sh.. to

I'd say "Environment" is on of the biggest reasons. Traffic, pollution, living costs could all be improved by government mandating and stimulating remote-first policies. Without government taking a stance - corporate bureaucr

Normal, regular process of government[s] extracting extra tax dollars from large enterprises in forms of penalties/fines for whatever violations. This will ends when Google will pay up and promise to do some [cosmetic] changes.
