10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Ugh I really want to out the company I work at. Of all companies we should be going and advocating for remote.
But we aren't. 'Because being with each is SO valuable'.
$100 says you're company is either stuck in a lease with their building or owns it outright...so glad I work for a WFH company that started that way 20 years ago and never went to having offices.
The only thing about the 54% number, for me, is that it's not higher.
This shouldn't be news to anyone.
That's probably primarily a consequence of bad zoning and transportation policy in the U.S - higher density zoning and public transportation/cycling infrastructure would address this more than enough.
Slapping a WFH-band aid on top of this mess doesn't really address the root cause. That's not to say you shouldn't be able to WFH - work whichever way suits you best - but I don't find this particular argument compelling as for a reason to advocate for WFH.
I’m not sure the people making the decisions about work from home have any concern for its effect on carbon emissions.
I am like infinitive times more productive when working from home. I am voluntarely coming to office usually 1 day per week and oh boy I don't work in office. Vaping, walking around, chatting, meetings, vaping, snacks, walk outside.
I think I will become pro-office at some point lol. 😅
Yeah, but they deprive their bosses of the opportunity to walk into the building and have everybody who meets them say "Good Morning Mr. Analwart Sir" before shutting their office door and playing Minesweeper for 3 hours
