Shoutout brisbane folk, hope you’ve all done ok in these floods.
So I live in Brisbane, Australia and right now, at 7am, there’s currently a thunderstorm and this is on the back of already having floods that have disrupted a lot of homes earlier in the week. Public transport was closed, roads cut off, you name it we got it.
Now, I may sound a bit privileged, but my home faired ok. But because I live in the city, I don’t have a car. I usually take said public transport which is now open on a limited capacity.
Public transport is still a 10 minute walk away and if you didn’t see already – it’s S T O R M I N G. The company I work for is one of the most successful of its kind and yet cannot buy use portable equipment that we can safely WFH with.
Why do I have get wet walking in a storm or pay for an Uber to get to work? Why do we not have the capabilities to work from home when we absolutely can?
