Seattle, the remote work capital of the U.S., is in denial about its effects

@ all the work from office losers here "time to get back to "work" so you can spent 2 hours in a traffic jam or packed like sardines im a train like us, pay overpriced lunched like us"

So what's the biggest issue honestly?

wealth inequality and the rent price(commercial and residential).

the greed of developers and landlords is killing off niche shops. I'll watch older movies and be reminded of the small niches shops able to operate because thy didn't have exorbitant rents. small businesses that existed in the 90's and 2000's like hat shops that sold accessories but they were known for hats and other niche shops that can't afford the $3K+ rent in a lot of cities.

high rents and wealth inequality are killing small businesses since most people have less disposable income .

But you can't blame the employee for that right? Or am I missing something

Traffic has been hell the couple of months because of the new back to office mandates

 

[Tribal Outkast]

This is why remote working will never last.

The CITY needs to make money.

They need people to commute and then spend their money on bullshyt either on they way to work, during work or on the way back home.

Y'all think it's your job telling you to come back into the office. NO it's the City and in turn CAPITALIST SYSTEM.

The entire system is RIGGED.

I said this years ago but I was called a hater

 

[Piffiztheanswer]

As someone hoping to relocate possibly to Seattle in a few years I heard that traffic is insane, I'm in ATL right now tho so it can't be worse than that

As a trucker, yeah nothing is as bad as ATL, but Seattle looks like its getting there unfortunately!

Being productive is enough. Why would they need us to give up more than our time and effort? Unless it is about control and more profit.

Don't even see how they make more paying insanely high rents, power bills etc for officr spaces.

I was a supervisor with a fully remote team, we still have the same KPIs, SLAs etc, we still measure productivity and quality the same way, if someone is not meeting their targets they get warned and then fired if they don't improve, just like in the office.

I think its nonsense that people should have to adapt to industry; a power, money-hungry, corrupt system at that, rather than the other way around.

Because goofies are so indoctrinated to the status quo they’ll bootlick the corporations, especially the ones who are salty they can’t WFH mfs who don’t even benefit either way it goes

It's so annoying how determined people are not to innovate and think of new ways of being in the world. We can't go back. It's not going to happen. Even if some people go back, the hybrid model of remote work is here to stay. Business needs to think more creatively about how to recoup the dollars they use to get from a captured workforce. There are many models of how to do this, cities and developers need to think more creatively too. It's like people don't know how to imagine a new future. If anything this is an opportunity for innovation, redesign, and making more money in various different ways, but you need people who have the creativity. vision, political capital to make it happen. Stop letting people with no critical thinking skills manage and lead.

From what i understand they can buy real estate and write the costs off taxes.

 

[Canon]

Everybody need to get they ass back to work

don't worry about how they clock in loser

 

[African Peasant]

So what's the biggest issue honestly?

International scammers called real estate moguls are losing money

And those big ugly buildings are losing value, and since someone used them as collateral , banks are also scared


They want to send people back to those offices to keep the scamming going on
