Good things and bad things about work

Work from home is incredible, I'll be making all future career decisions based upon fully remote work.
There's no amount of money that could get me back into the office, unless the office itself somehow moved across the street and even then I'd probably take a smaller salary to never have to come in.
Even a broken chat GPT could probably do better than 80% of the managers I've worked with in the past and I'm over their power trip.
Totally. I’m never going back, I’ll just retire if I don’t have the choice. I never realized how oppressive it is to need to travel, and be trapped in the workplace. I really feel for all the professions wheee your presence is your value, hopefully we can just automate those jobs so people can stop being imprisoned for a large part of their day. Of course we will need a way to distribute surplus value but that’s a given.
Yep. My current job requires me to come in twice a week. Normally that would be a no-go for me, but as a new dad it's nice to get out of the house twice a week and my partner handles those two days. Plus I have a dope view of the main strip in one of the biggest cities in North America. Once my daughter gets a little older, though, it's back to fully remote. I will not take a job unless it's fully remote, and luckily my massive corporation i work for is incredibly progressive, especially on WFH stuff. We've been majorly downsizing every single office. The office is there if someone needs it or there's large meetings and events going on, but no more than the minimum space needed.
Staggering levels of ignorance on display in this article.
"We just needed to listen to our people and understand what, specifically, was problematic for them, and offer resources to address that.”
Seriously, this was a revelation?!
