Why do you think everyone should return to the office? It's a 60-90 minute commute and $10-20 in tolls for my spouse. When they go into the office they refuse to work any extra hours so the employer is losing out as they usually use that commute time to work.

Point is, it wasn't a "hissy fit." It was policy direction from the White House. Regardless of whether you agree with it or not.

Have you met him?

You do know he’s from this area. There are posters who have cross paths with him going back decades.

It’s a very accurate description.

It’s all about money. And not money for those it impacts.

Advisory Board circa 1993 page: will Jeff Zients please come to the boardroom please?

I can't wait for the increase in morale from sitting in our cubicles most of the time instead of only some of the time.

Never met him, but know people who have. He may very well be "a choad." My point though, was that it doesn't matter. This is White House policy direction, so dismissing the person that delivered it is beside the point.

He’s a choad just like ALL former management-consultant/private equity dems pretending to be progressives. Especially the ones who went along with shut-downs and closed schools and covid paranoia when it was politically expedient. Whoops, actions have consequences.

To be clear, and this feels weird to have to type- don't care whether or not he is "a choad." My point is that the message can't be dismissed based on the messenger. It came from the White House and the President. (And even if you may not like the president in the white house, this is a lot more than some random person's rantings.)

The same White House that was happy to collude with AFT to keep schools closed and played covid for electoral advantage, meaning I had to dutifully work my butt off at home for the feds while my kid fell apart socially and academically? And now it’s “Oh, being in person is essential for the team”?

No thanks. They are ALL choads. It’d choads all the way down.

That is one of the smarmiest slimiest things I’ve ever ready. Gross.

OK, so this is a different thing. You disagree with the whole administration and all of their policies. That is fine. Choosing to hurl insults is also, I guess, fine. But it misses the whole point that the WH is not some random blogger, celebrity, or tycoon spouting off. It is actually meaningful in what happens.

I don’t understand what you think you are telling me. Yes I understand the WH sets policy. Zients IS the WH. He wrote this dumb-azz private equity choad memo.

Dude just wants people to go to his shitty bagel shop more

Call Your Mother is the biggest overrated scam! The bagels are squishy and sweet. The whitefish salad is 50% mayo. Bullfrog is the OG DC bagel shop - the real deal.
