Love that these companies are seeing the writing on the wall, finally. Only 10 years behind schedule but it’s better than never I guess.

10 years ago me and my mom worked jobs from home. I did CenturyLink (phone company) and HSN and QVC. She did dish network, directv and Eddie Bauer. It was easier then to find wfh jobs than it is now. Then it was unusual, but no stigma. Now it’s like you’re an evil clown bent on molesting the village’s sheep if you even suggest it. -_-

So that’s why no one reads my CVs? Dammit!

Yeah, the trick is to only molest them when no one is watching, and don’t put it on your resume.

Jobs that can be done from home, should be. Make life easier for the people who do have to commute

Just for the reduced co2 emissions, we should be doing wfh whenever possible. Also, fuck Hollywood for abandoning steaming release movies.

It’s unfortunately their business model is 100% extortionate bullshit.

Which isn’t the point of the article. I’m glad this is being reported on and hope that type of competition leads to better working conditions.

My boomer manager beg to differ. He likes it old school where people who stay back are considered more productive.

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

There’s an open engine rebuild that uses assets from I think 1 and 2, and I believe it had online capabilities
