Couldn’t agree with you more.

I mean don’t let facts get in your way there. Then again repukelicans have all but made it their brand to be wrong on just about every modern stance and/or point they can.
The actual reality is people quitting jobs forcing them to return to offices are finding jobs with employers who recognize the benefits (ignoring too is the copious amounts of data showing remote workers are producing far more remotely in addition to the other slew of benefits to society short, medium, and long term).
The people who will be replacing those who are leaving are far less likely to be a strong candidate or even on par with the person leaving.
Sooner you dummies learn you aren’t the ones in power and your brute tactics to force knowledge workers into offices as part of your need to control that which you inherently have minimal control of in the first place the better you’ll eventually be. Or the boomers can finally just die off and society can get on progressing along without the massive societal anchor their gen has been on humanity for far too long.
Please explain why this is a benefit to anyone?
That is…one of the weirdest statements I’ve ever heard.
Are you somehow under the impression that no job that can be done at a computer is skilled, knowledge-based labor?

I don’t get it. Assuming they worked at the office before 2020 why are they now complaining that they have to return? I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who want to work at blizzard, probably a lot less than 15+ years ago but still. Let them leave or if they complain just fire them. I just don’t see the problem.
Remote work is way more efficient.
If companies want people to return to office, and are willing to accept a massive reduction in releases and revenues, then fine. (Although that seems pretty stupid, to me.)
The worry, I think, is that companies will demand return to office (which is way less productive), but won’t reduce sales forecasts accordingly.
No, I’m saying no job that can be done at a computer at home in your underwear is as skilled and knowledgeable as a craftsman’s trade where the experience actually matters.

The idea that design engineers do one type work for years on one type of software and have no flexibility is bizarre. They are hired because their work history shows they are capable of using many different languages and systems.
My friend is the lead programmer for an isp. In early morning meetings, he does not dress. That doesn’t make him any less the only guy who has the big picture of what’s going on.

Man some threads you can just tell from the title it’s gonna be an insta-mute.
The only people who are advantaged by face to face only meetings are the sorts who also would benefit from communications not written down…aka business goons who can say X and then deny it later or twist the words or otherwise lie and say the conversation was different and you can’t prove it otherwise.
Every conversation in a business setting should be documented electronically in some fashion along with being very precise and careful with your words.

Yea, people just want to rage against those that are lucky enough to WFH rather than use their brains.
The people leaving are doing so because they’ve already lined something else up.
They’re pretty thorny sometimes! But the applications that I use for work can also be screenshared in Teams, and the applications themselves aren’t the meat of the work that I do. What I do is explain pretty hefty, complicated concepts to people, with a side of walking them through how to do data entry (which is easily demonstrated remotely).
I can think of one exception. Students in the Blizzard Intern program get travel and housing paid for, as well as salary. They are in a structured program with a lot of professional development sessions, in addition to their core project they get assigned. I think there are usually around 20 or 25 per summer.
You seriously think software engineering and development does not take education, experience, practice, and subject matter expertise that takes years to develop? They do in fact have levels of software engineering that is reflected in their job titles.
You have also been linking to some very loud right wing talking heads who post bait for clicks.
I can’t assume you are participating in these threads for anything other than luls/argument sake.
Nobody here has advocated for “socialism”. You are just throwing out buzz words now. People are very happy to work, just not at a place that has a high cost of living and 3 hour commutes. Hence, quitting for a different job. That has nothing to do with “socialism”.

Uh…huh.
It takes years to get up to speed in my “job that I can do in my underwear”, I’ve been in my current role for five years and I’m still considered to be a relative newbie. There are people who have been in the same job for thirty years, and they still learn new things every day.
But sure, a dude clearing out a pipe is somehow inherently more “skilled” than me, despite the fact that our jobs are not at all equivalent or comparable in any value-assessed way.
Theeeeeeere we go.

I never said that.
I’m just suprised these boomers against WFH are able to get posts on the forums from the typewriters they’re clearly using

Here you are, too dense to realize you can get a Master’s degree in Software Engineering, which would make you a Master Software Engineer.

There you go.
But anyone who uses the word “socialist” as a random slur when they don’t have an argument basically is outing themselves anyway.
