  You’d be amazed at what seemingly intelligent people will do or say or believe.

  Lucky him. Other corporations are designating hub cities and forcing remote employees to move or find a new job.

  It’s funny that Republicans want to force women to have babies but then also complain about women that have too many babies and refer to them as “welfare babies” but also want to defund social aid programs and not provide additional resources to foster kids and orphanages.

  (I know that was a run-on sentence.)

  Duh? We know already know this. Their main concern is staying in office for as long as possible and see how badly they can fuck up the country.

  I think it’s more these companies invested millions into either building the offices or renting them (and can’t get out of the lease) so to make it worth while they’re having people come back.

  One of my offices moved to a larger building across the street because there wasn’t enough room for FTEs and contractors to come in 3 days a week. The larger building still isn’t large enough even for just FTEs so they rented a floor of another building and are making contractors go to that building 3 days a week. They’re going to an office to still be remote lol. Talk about stupidity.

  Yeah, I get the socializing aspect and it hasn’t been bad coming in. I’ve been wfh for the past like 4 years so it’s nice to put on actual clothes instead of wearing joggers and t-shirts every day lol. You’re lucky you’re only required to come in one day a week. We have to come in 3 days (eventually we’ll be monitored to make sure we come in 3 days) but at least we can pick the 3 days every week.

  On the plus side, we have assigned cubes (no hotel cubes thankfully!) and since I was part of the first small group to come in, I was able to change cubes.

  However, I still think it’s BS that companies are forcing the back to work crap with such strict boundaries.

  I had to start going back to the office today. I’ll eventually split time between two buildings, but my main office is practically empty. Been here 3 days in a row, and I’m the only one in my area that stayed the entire day. The first day 4 of 5 other people left at lunch. The last person left about 4:15pm.

  Yestersay I was by myself until about 10am and that person left at 4. I’m here by myself today and I don’t suspect anyone will show up late.

  On the other side of the floor where the breakroom is, there’s maybe been 7 people total across the 3 days I’ve been here lol.

  And EVs and hybrids have regenerative braking so that does some recharging of the batteries. It’s not going to be stellar, but jn stop and go traffic, it could definitely had some miles to range. There’s a lot less stopping on highways.

  We rarely watch anything on Prime except for a few original shows like Upload and Reacher. Prime Video is usually an afterthought.
