  • supporting transitions to remote work

    my girlfriend is still starving hardly able to eat with anxiety over her job “RETURNING TO OFFICE” despite NEVER BEING IN OFFICE which I feel should be patently illegal like, in and of itself

    and all of that is happening WHILE THIS IS GOING ON with gas prices

    FOR NO REASON

    and I’m like so close to crashing the fuck out over this shit, like, how is this legal even under fascism, you’d think the government which has an interest in not running out of fucking gas would jump on shit like companies wanting workers to waste gas for literally no fucking reason whatsoever, what are they gonna do if they run out of gas to do fascism with

    • its ridiculous. i was hired into a fully remote job. was promised fully remote. the dumbass in charge decided that was all over… in the middle of winter. when you definitely want more cars on the road. the union has taken it to the labor board, the labor board ruled in the unions favor. the asshole in charge is dragging it out with constant emergency appeals to stay the board’s order to go back to remote and bargain. we should get a ruling this summer.

      but its ludicrous. they don’t even have the space for all of us to be in office, people with obvious hardships (like living hours away) are allowed to be remote for a year. all our jobs involve working with remote partners so we’re just taking remote meetings all day stacked up in an old building with crazy environmental problems like asbestos and mold.

      its like the bosses have lost all grip on reality. like all this was stupid dick measuring before Operation Imperial Implosion. now it’s recklessly depraved.
