Comment on Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?

It’s not just the corporations renting those offices, it’s the politicians of downtown areas that fear a downturn in tax revenue due to more empty offices and less people getting their daily coffee/lunch/after work drinks.

And of course, if everyone’s working remotely, this means it’s a lot easier to find a better job without even needing to leave the house to interview, which gives employees a better bargaining position (downside is that employers will start looking at employees in lower paying countries as well).

All of this is happening with my company as we speak. I actually did a remote interview today while on my lunch hour. And the company has just rolled out plans for “clerical help” based out of India. I’m in the U.S.

  The city of Seattle was literally crumbling before most of the major tech giants RTO.
  
  Im not sure Republicans have had much control there in a few decades.

  Republicans did a shitty job of planning New York City? When did this happen?

  Eh, all those cities are Democrat run. Economically they’re essentially the same.
