How can you short the City of Austin? hehe. And, whose to say that these folks have a Tuesday as their regularly scheduled day off? I'd like to have the originator of this idea tell us of some of the companies he's shorted.
Yeah, there's a lot there. Some people genuinely do have some days of the week off in exchange for working weekends, though it is a little doubtful that all of them would congregate to the same activities.
What does it matter as long as the job gets done? People aren't more efficient at their jobs when they sit in an office surrounded by other employees. They just become creative at pretending to be busy.
The only people I really see pushing to get people back in offices are middle managers. Those people who don't have much of a job other than babysitting grown ass people.
I've found that my productivity goes down when I work in an office because of all the Chatty Cathies who want to gossip, or want me to sing Happy Birthday to Bob, or ask me for help fixing their printer (ffs, just turn it off and back on. Problem fixed.) And of course there are all the meetings called by middle managers to go over what we did last week, what we're doing this week, and what we will do next week. All of which are either pointless or could be covered in a brief email that takes 2 minutes to read rather than the hour scheduled to suffer through it.
It's weird how I see people arguing against wage slave mentality here and then something like this pops up, which is the epitome of being a wage slave.
You could go get a PHD in political whining with that dissertation.
Apparently from what this guy is saying, companies are not more efficient when their employees are sunbathing at 2 PM on a Tuesday. Sucks to suck.

Wage slave is primarily because of the Federal Reserve and the US Government inflating the dollar. Government employees and companies working for the government get that new money first. If your company suddenly has less of the % of total $USD money supply than they had before, they are still having to pay higher prices. If taxes/fees were raised they have to pay those too. Many companies are in that boat, just a few get the bulk of the new money made since 2020.
And many people don't do an honest day's work sitting in an office. If they're not getting the job done, they should be fired. No matter where they work.
But that doesn't seem to be the case here, when people are still being employed. Their bosses are either satisfied with their work, or are horrible bosses who aren't doing their job.
As to this story about this guy paying an analyst to walk around asking people where they work and all that, it should be filed under "Things That Never Happened".
If you criticize them for the lack of work, then they call you names or say you're discriminating. We see it more and more in this work from home culture.
Just go into the damn office. If you're on the clock, you shouldn't be working on your tan.
Does it hurt your feelings that I'm a responsible adult and am able to get my work done without some middle manager drone staring over my shoulder all day?
Or are you angry that people are screwing with your precious 9 to 5 ideology?
Again, if the job is getting done, what business is it of yours that someone is taking an hour or so in the middle of the day to get some fresh air and get their vitamin D levels up?
And if the job isn't getting done, it's because the middle management drone isn't doing his job.
During covid,a lot of our office workers worked from home, they didn't do shit,our payroll was messed up and lots of other problems. Their no doubt about plenty of guys tell us their wife or other family member doesn't do shit at home.
And the majority of people working in offices aren't like me, either. But you're not complaining about them jumping on the computer during their workday to get online to argue with strangers, or play solitare, or just constantly click "refresh" on their email so they look busy.
You're penalizing people who are able to work without a nanny and who are intelligent enough to figure out how to do their work more efficiently so it takes them less time so they can get some fresh air and boost their vitamin D during the day.
I really don't get the hostility towards them. The more responses I get, the more it seems that the people arguing with me are all either retired or close to retirement and are angry that they didn't have the opportunities people have today.
It's silly.
You all would rather people be miserable, holed up in some florescent hell hole, pretending to work instead of just doing their job and having time left over to enjoy a nice sunny day for an hour or so.
Again, it's silly
Edited to add: It's also rather telling about your work ethic when you assume people working remotely aren't doing their job.
When people don't have a point of reference for something they automatically apply their own principles to what they imagine others doing.
Ok. Do you think your remote workers are not doing their jobs well? If that's the case, why do you continue to employ them?
Look around, the job market is very competitive. If you can't employ people who will do their jobs no matter where they are, then that is you failing at your job.
I was just out in my backyard getting 30 minutes of sun. Kind of hard to get sun (strong enough) before or after the typical workday. And often I'm working until 10 pm or 11 pm.

Are they working if they are sunning in the park?
What does it matter when they work if the job is getting done?
Jobs probably not getting done.
That's why he's shorting the companies.
Just cause you do an honest days work from home, many others do not.
And many people don't do an honest day's work sitting in an office. If they're not getting the job done, they should be fired. No matter where they work.

I agree it's a stupid comment about shorting companies. It's just Lying to make shorties look like they are useful.
It's shitposting. That's all it is.
I don't understand why so many people take Twitter/X posts to be gospel straight from the mouth of Jesus Christ himself.
The guy that posted that is a frequent shitposter and has made an art of it.
Here's an article where he explains how and why he shitposts.

But look at how many people are getting upset because some stranger is sitting outside at 2pm on a Tuesday getting some sun. It's ridiculous.
If you criticize them for the lack of work, then they call you names or say you're discriminating. We see it more and more in this work from home culture.
Just go into the damn office. If you're on the clock, you shouldn't be working on your tan.
You can tell this bloke sun tans at 2pm on a Tuesday

You know as well as I do that the majority of people are not like you. You give most people an opportunity to be lazy, and they'll take it.
Not sure why you're dying on this hill.
During covid,a lot of our office workers worked from home, they didn't do shit,our payroll was messed up and lots of other problems. Their no doubt about plenty of guys tell us their wife or other family member doesn't do shit at home.
This is the truth. Bakas is trolling

I run my own businesses. I actually know the outcome of WFH v.s. office. You're living in dream land.
Ok. Do you think your remote workers are not doing their jobs well? If that's the case, why do you continue to employ them?
Look around, the job market is very competitive. If you can't employ people who will do their jobs no matter where they are, then that is you failing at your job.
Tell that to Elon or Jeff Bezos bro.
Keep sleeping in LaLa land. The top companies in the world can't make WFH work.
I'm finished speaking with you. Even your tone when typing is retarded.
This is so fake. No one would do this and how would they short governments?
I was just out in my backyard getting 30 minutes of sun. Kind of hard to get sun (strong enough) before or after the typical workday. And often I'm working until 10 pm or 11 pm.
And we both know that's not a typical work schedule for Americans in a corporate job.
Don't speak for me.
