Private Trump, you’re a disgusting fat-body. Your ass looks like about 215 pounds of chewed bubblegum, do you know that?

Just beat it (beat it)

I suppose employee value is for any given company to decide. Companies that determine there is value in having employees onsite, and as we know there are plenty of them out there, may place more value on their in-office employees–even if they allow certain positions to be remote.

From what I’ve seen many remote advocates don’t want to discuss the extra benefits they receive from working remotely as compared with their in-office peers, but it’s true nonetheless.

I say all this not because I’m anti-WFH, but because I advocate equal compensation for all employees. Folks who expect equal pay while also having zero or reduced commute burden are thinking only of themselves as I see it. Commuting is a pain in the ass, the costs are always rising, and it’s been a problem that employers have passed on to workers for entirely too long. So as long as employees find ways like WFH to mitigate the problem, all employees should benefit in some way. Fair is fair for all, not just some.

Because remote employees don’t spend their own time and money on commuting to work. Those factors, along with saving on childcare, are the main drivers for desire to work remote, yes?

A company can reduce its office footprint to account for fewer in-person employees and save money. But that alone doesn’t address the factors above faced by employees who commute, so those workers should be compensated.

Maybe that’s the approach for hiring…remote employees are hired with the understanding that they will earn less than equivalent in-office employees. Commute time, transportation expenses, and any other incidentals make up the difference. It’s all made clear and transparent upfront.

If remaining remote limits an employee’s promotability for reasons of company need, this is also made clear.

We’re trying, but you can’t reason with hate-fueled chaos. They’ll die off eventually and history won’t paint them as the patriots they imagine themselves. Sanity will return, but it will take time.

I think holding a grudge is not good for anyone. However, remembering details about who wrongs you and over what is important–you take measures to avoid letting them take advantage of you again. They have damaged your trust in them.

Your trust level in people should reflect how they’ve treated you. It should be possible to earn back trust over mistakes when someone truly regrets wrongdoing, but people should understand that this takes time and consistency. Anyone who doesn’t understand this is not worthy of your trust.

Well put. They’re a dying breed and they know it. Principles are long out the window, now they just want to burn it down.

If it existed, was proven safe, and was widely available enough for anyone to use, then of course.

The auto and airline industries would collapse, reducing pollution and global warming.

The biggest downside I can think of offhand is that everyone could vacation wherever they like, and that would quickly overcrowd and ruin all the nice places.
