Employers need to bring WFH like pandemic era due to war time economy/gas

[Anonymous]

Gas is going to explode to unaffordable levels because of Trump's war. Is there any legitimate reason why companies would demand employees they barely pay liveable wages still come to the office and waste tons of gas on a commute? The pandemic showed WFH works. We now have a war time economy. That means sacrifices have to be made, like consuming less oil, especially for stupidly needless things like an office commute so that you have meetings in person that can be done virtually anyway.

Employers don’t care about your commuting costs.

Perhaps you should become an employer and you can make the rules.

Does your WFH plan extend to teachers? Are you willing to do virtual school again?

Gas prices are still below what they were just one year ago.

Perhaps you should stop being a crappy employer and pay your workers more.

Remember Trump and co care more about the interests of corporate landlords than they do you.

RTO policies were not motivated by the interests of the employers or workers, they were motivated by the collapse of commercial real estate prices.

You might want to check the futures markets for oil.

Large increase in a single day in history. Prepare to get reamed at the pump this spring and summer.

If AI plays out as they are claiming, the writing is already on the wall for commercial real estate prices.

Please feel free to quit.

RTO was to get people to quit.
It had nothing to do with employee performance.

That isn't the sacrifice I want to make. The sacrifice I want to make involves offering up Trump and his quislings to the gods.

Gas will be above $4/gallon by the end of the month and kissing $5 by Memorial Day. Unless Trump TACOs before then, which is possible.
