You're telling me four pointless in-person meetings a day reduces productivity and serves no purpose than to feed the psychological gaping maw of a narcissist-sociopath class?

Nah it can't be, it's the commute (/s)

    Yep.

    Corporations already stole our time. They actually managed to steal our homes to be used as offices but were too fucking stupid to realize what that was worth and gave it back because it accidentally made people kinda happy.

    I'm fortunately still remote. However, I explicitly had my contract state that if I am to be RTO'd I require a 25% pay raise. I also had a guaranteed severance clause added if I was let go in the first year.

    Personally, if they fire me if they did an RTO I wouldn't care, I have other remote opportunities lined up.

    Edit: I'll never do the 4+ hour total daily commute I was doing before, it sucked the life out of me. (I lived 40 miles from the office...) I would gladly give up 15% pay to keep a remote role.

    Fed Chairman Powell added in his March press conference that AI will “certainly contribute” to higher productivity in the future

    How do they define productivity?

    Because if half of your former staff is 0% productive because they were laid off, I wouldn't say they were very productive
