Well SC told Texas to hold its beer while it zoomed to #1 in measles outbreaks so there’s that.
Polio next? The vaccine panel chair says polio vaccine should be optional. Freedumb!
We certainly have the worst roads and drivers…. so, why would we possibly need more remote jobs?!
When being last makes first. Remote employees are dead last in productivity.
Didn’t McMaster push to make everyone in state government return to the office? As long as employees meet or exceed productivity while working from home, why screw with it? There are so many pluses to working from home, for the employer, the employee, or both. Working from home, you avoid the traffic rushes and associated jams, wrecks, wear and tear on your vehicle, gas consumption, and being late. You have access to your own bathroom, food, etc. You avoid the office jabberjaws who distract you from work. If you are sick and able to work, you don’t bring whatever you have in and share it with everyone else. Likewise, if someone who is sick comes to work (because they are inconsiderate or the job pressures them to come in), you don’t get it. How can that be bad for productivity?
If someone who is working from home shows signs of slacking off, make them come in for three, six months, or whatever before giving them another chance. Make them understand that this is a perk and if they don’t appreciate it, it can go away.
While some jobs necessarily require in-person participation, such as a window clerk; working from home should not be stopped for the sake of control-freakism for those whose jobs it is a fit for.
