“OH no. Those poor white collar employees”
So anyways, here I was breaking my body doing a job that has to be done in person but earns less pay and benefits when al…
“I can’t work from home, so nobody should!!!”
Look, when people who don’t not need to be present at an office can stay at home, it frees up the streets/trains etc for all the people who do. WFH benefits everyone, except owners of office buildings I guess, but fuck them lol
With a large increase in the number of office workers working from home, cafes opened in the suburban centres near me. Though the cafe workers have to work from work, it’s certainly a benefit for them to be able to work walking distance from home instead of an hour bus commute away with expensive parking when they had to work in cafes near the offices
WFH moves the support jobs closer to home
Sure it doesn’t help if you’re in construction, but it’s a net good for many people
Lol. I remember when Mark Shields said in one of his last appearances on the PBS News Hour something like “The democratic party used to party of the PBR and a whiskey shot, but now it’s the party of Sauvignon Blanc.” I guess I’m technically a tech bro, but I think you are spot on pointing out this conversation about “work” ignoring very important work that can’t be done remote.
