New York Times employees angry that the company wants them to return to in office work

[Ray From Cleveland]

They are employees not slaves
They have a dog in the fight, just like employers

Why we need unions
Individual employees can’t stand up for their rights, unions can

And when they do, the company packs up and moves far enough away where the union no longer exists. I've seen it dozens of times in my life. Then the employees have to find another job.

When the boss won't let you surf porn or play free cell, yes.

He could also check your work and see if it is productive

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Well, no, its not.

It is a decision for the both of them as employment is a contract between the two. The company can fire them and/or they can refuse to continue to work. The employee is not subservient in employment, they are an equal partner. Those employees think they have the upper hand at the moment and want to leverage that power to get a better contract, exactly how capitalism is supposed to work.

I hardly call not wanting to go to work and still get paid as subservient.

And the workers get screwed in the new location
Ive seen it dozens of times

This is another "people don't work as hard as they did" threads.

No, it's really a people are losing their work ethics thread. This is the first recession I ever lived through where there were still a lot of job openings. Slowly but surly the Democrats have conditioned people not to work.

You work for the NY Times liar??

Nobody gets screwed. They move to a right-to-work state, offer jobs, and you either accept the offer or decline in.

Hard to believe Covid is still running rampant in Biden's America, so much so that people are scared to go back to work.

Doubt they are scared they just feel entitled to work from home.

You're a F'in hypocrite.

Baseless accusation.

Who wants to commute 2 hours work in a tiny cubicle?
You are still working even if you don’t “go to work”

They don’t like your production, they can fire you

 

[rightwinger]

You work for the NY Times liar??

Who said anything about The NY Times?
The NY Times can’t move to Texas

Right to work means right to get paid like shit
Republican states have sold out the workers for corporate America

People are working as hard as they ever did. That there's a few open jobs is not any kind of an issue.

It's the thread subject, .

Company I work for did not go back to the office like they had planned because productivity skyrocketed when people started working from home. I personally get much more done, as fewer people bother me. No one stops by to talk about their weekend, etc. I can go heads down in peace and do the job. However, if they ask me to start going back into the office, that is their prerogative.

You are in the minority. The only thing that skyrockets for the majority of people who work from home is their time spent on FB and Candy Crush. The GDP of the nation since the advent of covid/WFH has plummeted.

 

[Concerned American]

That there's a few open jobs

You need to get out more. Every business that I see is crying for help and that spreads across all sectors of the workforce.

All they need is an Internet connection and a cell phone and Google to look up their Democrat talking points.
