Month: March 2022
Often on this subreddit I see posts talking returning to the office being about micro-management and control (which are definitely factors), but I think these explanations overlook potential financial motivations. Working from home does two devastating things to employee retention: It removes physical barriers that prevent turnover. Employees can more easily change jobs without needing to relocate their living situation (find a new home, apartment), leave their social group, or uproot their children. A remote employee can leave a company one day and start at another the next, this significantly undermines employee 'investment' into a company and it really hurts their bottom lines. Most companies benefit from tacit local oligopolies when it comes to bidding for employees, they don't want to get into a bidding war so they try and find a balance with their local 'competitors'. WFH blows those relationships out of the water, creating an open bidding war…

We are all slaves
The year is 2022. We are all slaves, and the owners are incorporated, businesses given the rights of a person without the liability. The biggest victory of western government was to make us all think this was not the case, to make us believe in the illusion of freedom and choice, to turn us all on each other, accusing different races, genders, economic classes, religions, for restricting our freedom of a human life worth living. When all along we never had freedom and free choice to begin with. Where do we go from here?
Who’s with me?
