There’s a reason why my philosophy has become one of pulling up a chair, popping some corn, and just watching the world burn.

I thought you were going to say “I have people skills” for a moment there.

Go on…
We’re moving to a new building pretty soon. The new one reportedly will have a big open space with no assigned desks, instead of cubicles or offices. There will be airport-locker-sized lockers where you can store your belongings overnight, so you’ll pretty much have to carry anything more than the bare necessities. I’m pretty sure that will make anybody still in the office decide to WFH.
For example, asking why we are pro-DEI (back when we actually were) since it means we will just end up hiring more black people and women instead of qualified candidates and taking jobs from white men.
Or why we were allowing a gathering during work hours, off campus but nearby, in the wake of George Floyd when there wasn’t a similar acknowledgement from corporate that all lives matter (fun fact, our CEO never ever ever said anything to the effect of Black Lives Matter during all of this. Not in any email, not in any speech I heard. He did use many words to essentially say all lives matter, and how bigotry of all sorts should never be tolerated, but he never took a stand on race).

is this meant for annoyed thoughts? we might see negative air temps mid week. we had a mild fall through…like 10 days ago.
It could have been, but felt appropriate in response to a post about cuddling
And another one forcing 5 days in the office…
Hmm, an in-person culture is better.
But, Instagram the antisocial media product keeps people out of in-person touch.
It’s also very ironic that at the same time that there is so much emphasis on the importance of in person collaboration and all of the important, presumably undocumented communication that takes place, we also have a hope that a disembodied software program with no culture or values will be the perfect, superhuman worker.
