My two favorite things about this "article" is that in the very FIRST bullet point she admits she pulled this out of her ass and my other one is that there is not one (1) quote from an employee blaming the bank's collapse on WFH policies. Didn't see any in the article she was referencing either.

    The bottom line: Companies looking for a reason to bring workers back to the office may find it in this piece.

      She's literally just saying it out loud.

      The point of the article is to give employers something to point at as grounds for terminating WFH, that's literally the stated purpose of this article's existence, and she's just saying so out loud.

      I love how literally two lines before that zinger they went "well the real cause of their collapse is all the financial fuckery they were fuckering around with and got caught"

      FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY: 'If the fucking execs were doing their fucking jobs maybe this wouldn't have happened'

      this just in - irony found dead in alleyway, more at 11

    I'm guessing that pets would randomly stomp on the keyboards of remote workers and input "jgd433ui4po" for account balance.

    I'm surprised that they eventually got bored with claiming that it was equal opportunity employment that caused the banks to fail.

    This whole article is absolute garbage but this is my favorite bit.

    "Best Buy, an early pioneer of hybrid work, got rid of its hybrid work policy because it had stopped training new employees on how to operate in a flexible work environment, leading to cultural issues."

    Comparing a brick and mortar store to a bank is :galaxy-brain:

    It's not like the fucking Roblox company was driving truckloads of money to a fucking physical address then going "nobody wants to work anymore" cuz there weren't any tellers.

    Also what the fuck does "leading to cultural issues." mean? Do they mean their work culture sucks and their employees realized how much they hated actually being at their shitty job? What else could this possibly mean?

      So Best Buy got rid of hybrid work because they stopped training people on how to do hybrid work. So they were just preparing to get rid of it. So they created an excuse to get rid of it.

    Adults need to go back to the office to provide a good example to the children in the factories.

      "Sorry, hate to break it to you, but kids need lazy millenials/zoomers to set an example of work ethic." :maybe-later-honey:
