Yup. I had to wait for the finance clown to finish talking to his gardener before he would come back to our teams meeting so I could go home. This, after everyone being allowed to wfh for three whole years before. I wish this shit was labor suit worthy.

My old company saw this in the first 3 months of the COVID lockdown and immediately sold their building which they’d bought less than a year before. This isn’t rocket science.

Yep, when it still had some value. It was a great location with a view over Lake Washington near South Lake Union in Seattle too. That was during the run of a few years that the SLT was maki g good choices which ended this last year and resulted in some layoffs including myself. It was nice while it lasted lol.

In office work lowers productivity. Boomers are a blight on everything.

That’s because they can “see” people working instead of, you know, using any actually objective metric.

Means they can falsely shoehorn in their faves as well. Kinda hard for them to pull stats out their butt when the metrics are all objectively taken from arms length
