But your refugees there. Mr Shekelstein

>In early 2023, amid an increase in the number of people within the city who sought asylum in the United States, the Candler Building's commercial space became a 250-bed shelter for asylum seekers.

Well I just got back from lunch, about to return to the office.

I will work in the office again if it's not an open floor plan with 200 people where certain teams were given approval from upper management to listen to music on a giant Bluetooth speaker. Where people use cubicle aisles as hallways. Where people have conference calls on speaker phone at their desk. Where they have to pump white noise into the building because of the deafening chatter. Where there aren't enough parking spaces so some people have to park in a dirt overflow lot that turns into mud in the rain. Where not only are drinks and snacks not complimentary, they are 3x more expensive than the gas station down the street. Where the dress code changes based on if a customer is visiting. And so on.

Imagine putting up with all that for no reason at all.

I read a million midwit opinions now on why these buildings can't be turned into affordable housing and I refuse to believe any of them. "DUURR WHERE YOU GONNA PUT THE BATHROOM WHERE YOU GONNA PUT THE FIRE ESCAPES DURRRP" "UHHH NO ONE WANTS TO LIVE IN OFFICE SPACE"

FUCKING FIGURE IT OUT. I've seen with my own fucking eyes people living in houses made of tin, houses made of glass bottles, houses made of literal fucking mud from the ground. You have no idea what people are willing to compromise just to have a roof over their heads. You're really telling me we can't just slap a few pipes and ladders on the sides of these structures and call it a day? Whatever the size of this problem is, it's definitely a smaller problem than the entire workforce peacing out or letting these structures remain abandoned and empty forever.

Picrel is a house made of actual fucking garbage and powered by the gasses released from decomposing human excrement.

my company just cancelled our office leases. get fucked reit bagholders

Jerome-sama here.

I see the economy is stronger than I thought. No matter. You will return to the office. Soon we will be at 15% funds rate. ;^)

The new meme is to respond to a recruiter if the job is wfh, if it’s not. Turn them down for that reason so that this ends up on surveys

WFH is king.
Remember you've got to impress those people. Like I'd rather throw my pay into random shitcoins instead of having to buy expensive ties or the currentyear hip shoes.

this article is literally about how employees have the power and work from home or hybrid seems like the way forward for most office jobs

You'll never get your comfy townhouse, worthless zillennial. Rents due btw.

i bring a backpack with me. inside of that back pack is 10 pounds of quick set concrete. i flush it down a different toilet every day.

I took a 25% pay cut to work remote permanently and I do not regret it at all

It's not that people wouldn't live there, it's that the government wouldn't allow it. You can't just say "fuck fire escapes" without getting the fire marshall all up in your ass.

I'm not going anywhere near an office ever again unless Mr. Shekelstein pays for my
>Lunch
>Gas
>Commute time
>Hot water bill
Until then, they can suck my dick.

Office buildings have fire escapes though? And they have plumbing too. People don't go to the restaurant downstairs to take a dump.

I would rather let civilization collapse under hyperinflation and negative growth than work another second in Mr Shekelstein's office

>>55732942
i told my boss the other day that the office was loud and distracting. and they believed more wfh would detach me from my work. but yet i'm in the same frame of mind in both environments, except one is quiet and non-anxiety inducing

>Meanwhile, a staggering 76% of employees stand ready to jump ship if their companies decide to pull the plug on flexible work schedules, according to the Greenhouse report. Moreover, employees from historically underrepresented groups are 22% more likely to consider other options if flexibility comes to an end.

Kek. Employers are losing their minorities and diversity hires when they move away from fully remote and flex work schedules. This all but ensures that employees will win and flex work is here to stay, big corps will never reach their diversity quotas if they don't capitulate.
