A lot of wealthy people have money tied up in office buildings. So don't be surprised when you hear that "covid is over" or "remote work isn't as good". Empty offices are a threat to their future riches.

"In their paper, the authors argue that remote work has led to significant drops in lease revenue, occupancy, lease renewal rates, and market rents in the office sector within commercial real estate."

@TeamMidwest Unfortunately I think it's part of a much larger trend of squeezing workers to the maximum.
I stood at my local CVS pharmacy the other day waiting for a shot, about 10 minutes. In that time I saw 7 workers being productive at a breakneck pace. Given that they handle prescription drugs, it seems likely that mistakes can happen. But it was absolutely insane.

Republicans want to force Americans in poverty to pick up the tab for the tax cuts they gave to their wealthy donors, while giving those donors more vulnerable workers to exploit

GOP threatens to blow up the United States’ economy unless Democrats agree to shrink the social safety net by adding #work #requirements to programs such as #food assistance and #healthcare.

In doing so, GOP lawmakers are following the agenda pushed by an obscure conservative think tank, the Foundation for Government Accountability (#FGA ), that recently made headlines for helping secretly draft several state bills to roll back child labor laws.

The effort comes several years after the GOP passed massive, deficit-busting tax cuts benefiting the wealthy and corporations — and as the party pushes to make those tax cuts permanent, at an estimated cost of $3.5 trillion.

What if the most important outcome of working together in an office is that we believe in the value and importance of the work?

That sense of value and importance may be a form of collective delusion. And with less time together, engaging in the rituals of the office and reproducing the socio-cultural structure of the company, that delusion becomes weaker.

That might look like decreased “productivity,” decreased worker retention, etc. But it may also be a form of awakening to the fact that many of our jobs are neither personally fulfilling nor socially beneficial.

We have been told for generations that lowering taxes on the rich helps the economy, and that "increased entitlements" are a burden the taxpayer cannot afford.

These are lies. The truth, borne out by history is this:

Programs that help the poor, the working poor and those unable to work, actually benefit the overall economy and are not a net tax burden on the taxpayers. 1/2

You can make #FairUse of an infringing work, and you can make infringing use of a #work that may in other use cases be used fairly.

Two key words: Fair USE, and Andy Warhol FOUNDATION.

The US #copyright concept of Fair Use is about just that: USE! It is not about creating works.

Whether Fair USE applies or not depends on the USE of the work once created. Fair Use does not concern the creation of the #work before it is being used.

#Remote #work is absolutely awful for entry level employees. They can’t learn nearly as fast and feel lonely and abandoned. That’s why my son is looking for someplace where he can work on site. And just having the entry level folks be on site doesn’t solve this.

I don’t understand why people get so angry about companies that require on site. I don’t get angry about those that are remote. Just avoid the ones that don’t work the way you want to work. Jeez. https://fortune.com/2023/05/05/openai-ceo-sam-altman-remote-work-mistake-return-to-office/

The bit of four-day-workweek drama that happened in the UK a while ago has me thinkin today, and I can't help but wonder which all of you guys would prefer.

If you could have a four-day work week, in which you're still paid the same amount total per year (your weekly paychecks won't be any smaller despite you spending less time working), would you rather:

-Have Mondays off for a three-day weekend, or

-Have Wednesdays off so you never work more than two days in a row?

'Keeps 'em from encountering any rebellious ideas.'

3. 'Statistically, kids are safer from mass shootings in a meatpacking plant than in school.'

'Maybe they'll lose a limb, but hey, they'll probably survive.'

4. 'Best of all, they're cheap and their brains haven't developed enough to form unions!'

"salary remains the #1 priority, with just over 6 in 10 (61%) people saying it’s the most important factor in a job."

Insights from an ADP survey

This is fascinating and I would love to see it alongside stats on how comfortable & knowledgable people feel about negotiating their salary or how to work with their salary toward higher lifetime earnings

G'morning #Adelaide. #jobhunting #ineedajob #work #help

I need a job. I'm a bit unusual, because I have a very varied background. Hydraulic engineering, CAD, IT consultant, scientific equipment repair, electronics service engineer, STEM outreach.

I can't WFH. It doesn't work for me.

Do any of you have an ear to the ground about jobs that you think could work. I'm up for basically anything.
