Companies are on the war path against remote work

[Anonymous]

Is anyone else feeling this? It feels almost like things have really snapped back towards in person work in the last few months.

Just wondering if others are feeling this. I am so miserable commuting and putting on make up again.

Get with the times. No more remote work and you're not supposed to say war path anymore

Cities threatening to get rid of tax breaks for companies if they don’t RTO, because apparently small businesses are suffering, downtowns are becoming ghost towns, CRE values are plummeting & public transportation is being crime-filled due to normies no longer taking it.

Honestly, I am sick and tired if the FT WFH evangelists acting like these are not valid concerns. They are. Acting as if they are not is making the RTO worse. If you’re unwilling to meet halfway with hybrid, they’ll just make everyone come in all the time. The war path is over. People go back now.

How about those of us who have large commute costs. And time. I can either work the two extra hours or commute with them.

Lots of people making $250k+ & WFH have the assets to retire or part-time freelance and would rather do that than RTO.

I live in a different city currently.

The main underground train station that professionals used to commute in from the suburbs used to have tunnels full of shops & restaurants. They are ALL closed now. It’s so creepy & desolate.

Yeah I could’ve been a lifelong renter near my job instead.

+1. And I’m sorry if small businesses in YOUR particular downtown area are doing poorly. Guess what? My suburb’s mom & pop restaurants have been revitalized because of the increase in WFH/TW.

Both businesses contribute to their respective tax jurisdictions—so why is one more important than the other? (It’s not.)

And PS, if my employer were to force full time RTO, I would bring my lunch AND coffee from home. Not spending one thin dime in that area if that’s the case.

Public transit is doomed. After 3 years of hygiene obsession and isolation, cramming onto subway trains is just too traumatic for most people. If they are RTO for 3 days a week, they can drive the super commute for those 3 days and recover before the weekend. Still better than before times and train transit.

People are full on murdering each other on trains. Traffic is going to get really really bad, but more people will invest in AI cruise control and watch movies as their car creeps along following the car in front of it.

We had the house before the job and cannot afford to move. So, if you want me to commute I will do my 8 hours and that’s it. I’m not doing my normal extra and will use that time to commutevvv

Trains don’t go everywhere.
