Antiwork

These people are adults. You can trust them to do their jobs, and if for some reason you don't want to, there are hundreds of metrics you can track to see if people are getting their work done.

Just let people work where they are happiest.

This article sounds like it was written by a corporate boot licker. They can write whatever nonsense they want. Come Monday I'll be working from a couch with a laptop and maybe clothes.

Then why does the boss only shows up in meeting via teams?

This is bs

There’s a good chance those who complain the loudest are among the underperformers anyway, so losing them will not affect productivity.

At first, I thought this was bullshit. But then I realized it’s probably true. Because the most talented performers, when pressed to RTO, don’t complain at all - they just quit and live off their dividends.

i bet this guy goes in 9-5 every day to write his shitty column

Apparently people who own companies and people who own commercial real estate are the same people.

"US-based columnist for the Globe & Mail"

So, definitely showing up to those local Canadian offices daily.

Eat shit and die, Gus, ya corporate toad. As if the PostMedia Group wasn't capable of being a big enough shill for billionaire interests on its own.

Lol fuck no eat shit scumlord

Opinion: Dear Entitled Moneyed Class: Time to grow up and face the consequences of your murderous lifelong solipsism

"grow up and get back to mines"

Time to grow up

The most immature adults I've ever known, consistently, are the ones that are preoccupied with some performative pretense of maturity.

Fuck the Globe and Mail.

There’s a good chance those who complain the loudest are among the underperformers anyway, so losing them will not affect productivity.

So Jamie Dimon, then.

I want to believe this article is satire… At least that’s how I read it.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Millions of white-collar workers grumbled their way back to offices this week under various on-site attendance mandates, lamenting the fact that Mr. Hyde, not his softer alter ego, is alive and well and setting HR strategy at their companies.

In their backpacks and totes, they lugged with them a sense of entitlement and activism that has shaped workplaces since before the pandemic enabled widespread remote work, often putting them at odds with leaders and begging the question: Who’s in charge?

Remote-work boosters counter that productivity among the work-at-home set is higher because they work longer hours and can maintain a better work-life balance, though many of the studies supporting this claim are based on self-reporting.

At the same time, many companies have become soft – even cowardly – fearful that mandating in-office work or saying no to their employees will exacerbate an already tight talent market.

These happy places have quiet spaces for contemplation, collaboration stations, sitting and lounging areas, food courts – basically, replicas of home environments that effectively separate a worker’s nose from any grindstone.

In an effort to attract and retain young, creative talent, the corporate suits created office environments that were more playgrounds than workspaces.

The original article contains 752 words, the summary contains 199 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

The Globe and Mail is a terrible name from someone not very creative.
