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

[rightwinger]

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.

It comes down to management
Management provides assignments and evaluates the quality of work
If you can surf the net and still complete all your assignments, who cares?

Employers, you know, the ones who write the checks.

What difference does it make as long as the end product meets acceptable standards?

Before you know it people will want to get paid for doing nothing............Oh wait.

'Brick and mortar' businesses are set up to house employees and have a certain infrastructure. If they require employees to be at the office then, that's part of the job.

If people are doing nothing, fire them
If they can work from home and still be productive, let them

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

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

It isn't? Why do you suppose there is a supply chain shortage?

Start your own business and do as you wish.

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

No, it's just that Republicans seen company after company move out of the country and why they did it. Between unions and intrusive government it's almost impossible to compete in a world market.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

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

Apparently they don't like their production that's why they're bringing those employees back to work

Where does it say that?

What other reason would they have?

We can’t compete with slave wages whatever Republicans say

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

We can’t compete with slave wages whatever Republicans say

Sure we can because shipping back and forth costs money. If you can keep your labor costs down then some companies can compete. It's why most businesses exist close to their customers.

What? Liberals supporting slaves....in 2022???

 

[Devils_Advocate]

I guess working in a 6 x 6 foot cubicle is more productive

It is the employer right to request their staff to return to a office setting, and if the employee disagree they have every right to seek employment elsewhere.

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

What does that have to do with what I stated?

What does a British Univ. study have to do with the US. GDP has fallen here during the scamdemic. It seems to me that the study is big on numbers and low on facts. Who were the participants in the poll? What were their occupations? My personal observance of the difference between work at home vs. on site does not agree with the British findings.

British University??

Although I thought most people knew about Stanford....From a link in the article....

Stanford
579 Jane Stanford Way, Stanford CA 94305
650-725-7836

However, as I mentioned earlier, the company I work for did their own internal study, and found better productivity. So those that can work from home now have transitioned. Productivity has continued to go up.
