Why does this matter. I've known about 7 people now that have gotten COVID since they weren't able to work remote and still had to go out and make a living. There's a temp agency okay not the best job. Its packing stuff for the holidays. Guess what they don't have enough workers. They have unlimited overtime, well as unlimited as some can handle. That's a quick an easy way to make at least 3 to 4 grand a month here. I'm so tired of people drowning in hopelessness over the shit they see on the media that they dont um, go outside and see what's actually going on. Shit is bad, but whining about it is not how things get better. You have to actually make peace in chaos, chaos is the natural state of nature, not peace. Happy late Veteran's day everyone. I was celebrating a little too hard and I just came back from Pluto.
Also why is it the workers that still produce value have to be the ones that pay increased taxes. Why don't the wealth hoarders I mean savers, I mean people that hoard capital and make money through capital gains, me included pay less taxes. And no I will not voluntarily pay the POS IRS more money I'd rather give it to a charitable non profit.
Debunked by whom? I've run a tech business for the last 5 years where half my employees are remote (like spread around the country) and the other half work remotely most of the time and have since I started the company. It takes a little work to set that up in a way that works, and it's not the paradigm we've all lived with for all of previous history so many people decide it can't be as effective without any evidence to support that assertion. However I've found considerable success I believe specifically because of our remote work setup rather than in spite of it. Productivity of my employees is significantly higher than what I've seen in my previous 20 years of work experience, my turnover is effectively zero, and all that gets accomplished without anyone working more than 40 hours a week. From a hiring perspective, I now have access to a pool of much higher quality people since I can draw from anywhere in the U.S., which gets me closer to the situation I had with my first company in the Bay Area at a fraction of the cost. There is pretty much no downside. Obviously this doesn't work for everyone. I have the benefit of hiring only A players for white collar positions, and having spent many years in very hands on industries I understand that not everyone is in that position. But if you are, my experience tells me that you're actually foolish not to take advantage of all the benefits remote work can bring to your company. I would add that "because we've done it that way for decades" and "don't you think someone would have done it by now if it was a good idea?" are exceedingly stupid rationals for continuing to do something. I love it though, it's why small companies like mine routinely take business away from far bigger companies where that attitude is ingrained in their culture. In fact pretty much every successful company that's come out of Silicon Valley owes at least part of their success to the fact that attitude was pervasive in the industry they disrupted.
%% LOL; they had so many big fines.Are you sure there are any ASSETS there?? Most govs have enough debt...…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….Maybe their REALTY is worth something??
LOL, you make petty uninformed generalizations like a ten year old. Remote work, telecommuting, whatever you want to call it - has grown by 173% since 2005. I know professionals who have been doing it at Companies like Adobe and IBM since the late '90's. Grow up and wake up - it's the 21st Century. It's a digital world. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-f...will-likely-continue-long-after-the-pandemic/
Right, GS is clean as a whistle. Never had its hand in selling toxic mortgages. Never advised Greece on garbage derivatives. Never helped embezzle billions from Malaysia. Look up 1MDB. It was not DB that was before uncountable congressional and senate committees but GS, Wells Fargo, and plenty other banks. DB is not clean either but it's ridiculous to point fingers only at non US banks when mostly US banks caused a word wide financial crisis and not a single of those bankers is sitting in jail. Instead they pull some teenager out of London and accuse him to have caused the flash crash. If you don't realize that Americans are fed with misinformation day in day out then I can't help you.
I guess you wanted to misunderstand my posts. My point was that most positions even in technology can't be done from home. Some can, sure, and that has already taken place long before covid. The current backlog and complacency among workers even in high tech is mind numbing. Everywhere you go and everywhere you can reasonably expect to receive prompt service you are told that things have slown down to a crawl because of covid. Reality is that hardly any company has been prepared or is prepared to efficiently operate with a remote workforce.
