I’m sick of these fucking old white CEO’s being out of touch. People want and need flexibility and go out of their way to find it. I personally prefer going into the office, I’m more productive that way even though my entire team is remote. People just want the option and they want to be treated like the adults that they are. Companies just need to offer it, and if it doesn’t work out for whatever reason or they can’t act like an adult, then get rid of the employee. Not a hard system.

Jamie Dimon (compensation 34.5 million 2022) says what?

Hyggyldy ,

Too many people think rich and in charge = smart and reasonable.

The reality is that Jaime Dimon is out of touch. On last year’s employee conference call, he was asked about return to office and how WFH has opened up significant flexibility for employees personal lives, specifically, children’s doctors appointments. He responded that your nanny should be taking the kids to your kids doctor’s appointments so you can work at the office.

LOL, because that company did sooooo badly when everyone was remote for COVID. Boo hoo, my real estate is worthless now that remote work has been proven to have no significant impact on productivity–objectively and empirically

My employer would beg to differ. Seeing as they pay my mortgage and not him, he is irrelevant.

Jamie Dimon can just fg ahead and make his millions without any employees, that will maximize his profits too.

Pay people for the commute.

HortiEastwood ,

And for the commute time, regular pay

I would honestly rather have the time

the same management who wanted everyone to return to the office are the same people who are still joining Zoom calls from home.

Pay people during their commutes, they “clock in” as soon as they get into their cars and “clock out” only when they get home.

That rewards employees for living as far away from the office as possible. Is that a fair thing to do? I seriously don’t know.

Brainsploosh ,

Not rewards, incentivises, means the employer has a larger labor pool to pick from, which in capitalism is good.

FlyingSquid ,

But isn’t making commutes longer a bad thing? Especially for the planet? And this is encouraging it.

rivermonster ,

It makes commuting/commuters more expensive, so financially it incentivises remote work–which is objectively a better alternative.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I agree remote work is a better alternative. I was just addressing this idea of paying people to commute.

mamotromico ,

Decent public transportation can offset this easily

At which point they say, “if we’re paying you to sit on the train, you can do some work while you’re sitting there.”

DoomsdaySprocket ,

Then hey, I can get some of my 8 hrs done on the train and only have to sit in the office for 6 hours! Sounds like a win-win to me.

Brainsploosh ,

Capitalism in general is bad for the planet

loom_in_essence ,

you’re right, let’s scrap offices altogether and wfh 100%

Something tells me there might be a middle ground here.

    I’m not sure why you’re talking to me like I’m suggesting some sort of crazy thing when I wasn’t even making any suggestions…

    Sometimes you just gotta pick someone to reply to the whole conversation going on

    DebraBucket ,

    Does it? You are still working the same hours, it’s just that you are spending some of those hours driving. I suppose if you like driving more than your actual job? On the other hand, it makes your labor more expensive, and thus you are less competitive if other people happen to work closer. Why pay someone 8 hours of pay for 4 hours of work when you can pay someone 8 hours of pay for 8 hours of work, either because they live next door or they work remotely?

    And that’s how you lose talent…

    I don’t mind visiting the office once in awhile, say 2 or 3 times a month. But to mandate it to every day is asinine. I’m never going back to wasting 3 hours a day sitting in a train/stuck in traffic.

    Jamie Dimon can suck a turd, then.

    No problem, I’m on the way out the door anyway with this stupid, corrupt, abusive company.

    I bet he said this from an “off-site” and hasn’t been in the office in weeks

    Nioxic ,

    It is july?

    Prime summer holiday month, at least where i live.

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    Yeah, but he’s not at his summer house, where he could be working from and maybe be less productive. So that’s almost the same thing.

    Well. Im sure you will attract the best and the brightest.

    This guy's like an old record...should find something new to say...
