2 months agoHot tip boomer, commuting is a waste of time and money and in most jobs doing away with this has no bearing on performance outcomes.
Another hot tip, just because someone is in the office doesn’t mean they aren’t wasting time. Don’t assume for one minute that the office days are somehow the glory days . Believe me I see the time wasting and shit talking every time I go into the office.
Arguably the distractions of an office 9 times out of 10 are actually counter productive.
And we are entitled to critique his silly backwards and out dated attitudes. He’ll be dead soon just like a lot of other dinosaurs and the world is going to move on whether he likes it or not. But instead he chooses to resist. Its really quite stupid.
He can add all the so called office perks he likes but it doesn’t compensate for the expense and time wasting that is commuting.
And people wonder why couples are deciding not to have children when megalomaniacs like this clown seem to think life revolves around work, so much so he wants you to drop your kids off at childcare so someone else can raise them. This guy is by no means an outlier in his attitudes but he is certainly bold enough to speak very plainly on it.
For the avoidance of all doubt I don’t advocate for employee laziness (unless you are being paid shit, in which case you put in proportionate to pay), but flexible working arrangements make a lot of sense.
