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

[rightwinger]

apparently rely at the NY Times…

apparently at the Times the boss isnt seeing qualify work…thus wants them back in the office

apparently?
Where have they actually said that?

when they told them to get back to the office…did you not see the OP?

They are making a blanket demand that everyone return to the office without reflecting on how productive they are

they are unproductive, hence why they want them back at the office

It doesn't matter if they're productive or not. The employer wants his or her employees back in the office, they need to comply or quit.

So a kid living at home, not getting any govt assistance and working is a parasite? We are not fellow americans.

Yeah, they're parasites on their parents and if their parents allow it to continue excessively, they are enablers and have no one to blame but themselves.

 

[Concerned American]

I take pride in my family no matter what they do. My pride ends at family.

I'm sure Charles Manson's parents were very proud as well. LMFAO.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

What business is it of yours if adult children move back home? If they are working even part time why is that not good enough? If the parents and kid agree it's a huge plus for the nation.

When you want a product at a store you can't get you'll see why it's not a plus for a nation. Less people working means less tax money to support our social programs like Social Security and Medicare. Even before the shortage those programs were predicted to go broke.

Imagine a country where everybody quit working. Now imagine a country where most people are working. Which country would you rather live in?

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

Yeah, it's funny. Production at my company actually increased during the shutdown.

Nevertheless, the NYT employees are being titty babies. Omicron is nowhere near as fatal as Covid 1.0.

Is it being a “tittie baby” not wanting to commute two hours a day to reach your cubicle?

 

[Resnic]

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

They aren't scared. They want to stay home, do as little work as possible and get paid for it.

The current administration is training them to stay home and suck uncle sam's tit by telling them covid will kill them, Bernie Sanders telling everyone they deserve 40 bucks an hour just to pour coffee, telling everyone everything is fine, telling everyone they aren't responsible for anything and so on.

They are breeding generations of dumb, whitless, lazy, ambition less, self entitled ass wipes.

I never stopped going to work this whole time. And I had to do real work, not sit on my ass at a newspaper and I'm thankful I had a job to go to.

And they, as the EMPLOYER, have every right to do so.

 

[rightwinger]

And unionized EMPLOYEES have every right to negotiate working conditions

And one of those conditions is not going to work? This is why unions were so bad for our country and why I'm glad they're gone.

They are going to work
Their workplace is home

For the employee, working from home is more productive

If they didn't want to travel two hours to work every day, WTF did they take the job in the first place?

A great example why all places need to get rid of their unions.

An example of why workers lost when unions were eliminated

It is more effective to fight for your rights as a group than as an individual. Which is why employers hate them

It's not a right to demand you stay home and work. This example is why unions lost so much support with the public. You have the unions and employees telling the employer how they will conduct their businesses instead of the other way around. They were able to stay home as a gift from the employer to help protect their health, and now look at the thanks they got in return. Stabbed right in the back which unions are known for.

It's not that. It's hard to build a team if they never see one another. One of my friends is required to go to the office one day a week and she says it's not going well. She was recently promoted and needs to pick her team but she hasn't even met some of the newer employees who just started after the pandemic ended, and haven't come in the days she's been in.

A lot of bigger companies have mentoring programs for young associates, and again, it's hard to make those connections if you're not in the office. I can see the arguments for coming in, but I can also see why the employees don't want to be required to go in.

From an employee's perspective, I have always loved working from home. Take a break and put a load of laundry in the washer, or put a stew on for dinner. No commuting expenses, or fancy wardrobe needed. The time spent getting showering, getting dressed and doing hair and make-up for the office, along with the time spent and money spent commuting is given back to you.

By 6:00 p.m. my housework and paid work were both done, dinner was ready, and I could spend the rest of the evening with family or friends. Normally I would just be getting home from the office at 6:00, and starting dinner and household chores.
