Them: We're forcing you to go back into the office because we believe work is more meaningful when employees are together and have a shared sense of comradery.

Me: So, unionize?

Them: No, not like that.

@theropologist they probably mean more like: chanting in close harmony, while crushing rocks all chained up to each other

Also, no new HVAC systems to improve airflow, no masking, no guidelines on staying home when sick, or having negative COVID test before returning to work, etc.

There's no recognition at all that there's any risk of COVID for workers or students who have to gather indoors for many hours each day.

The selective amnesia is astounding.

Anakin and Padme four panel meme. Anakin represents the boss and Padme represents the workers.

1. No more working from home, come back to the office 

2. It has new HVAC systems to reduce COVID risk, right?

3. Boss is silent.

4. Right?

@theropologist BINGO!
Every argument for RTO is an argument for unionization. Solidarity forever!
WFH increases morale, retention, and productivity. At the same time, it reduces costs and tightens schedule.
ANY CEO demanding RTO is incompetent and projects his/her incompetence upon their employees.
If I was an individual investor, RTO vs WFH would be right up there with performance history. I know they are going to tank.

@theropologist Nothing boosts productivity like a 50 minute drive to sit in the smell of microwaved fish pie

@theropologist @StaceyCornelius They won't even seat me and two colleagues next to each other β€” there's no space. Except the office is half empty even at peak times. It's bonkers.

Also Them: You have to be in the office at least three days a week, but we don't actually have enough seats for everyone to show up on the same day, so you can't have the entire team together.

@theropologist A flock of meat chickens has comradery

@theropologist As someone who's been the victim more than once of malicious office politics, I'd like to say that the "cameraderie" is false and you're much safer at home.

@theropologist

That's what we did! Ironically, being in the office together did make it easier to chat people up about the union.

@theropologist @jcriecke yeah always has been. The only reason companies waste money is for the mastabatory habits of their executives. Otherwise they'd discharge that extra real estate so fast

@theropologist mayors are trying to save fast food shops and business real estate tax dollars
