Fuck Corporate America
And Then Eat Them.
Oh Look: Another Old White Dinosaur
Fuck This Shit
I Agree 100%
Since my employer recently dropped the mask mandate for all our buildings, I fully expect to receive notice this coming week that we are moving into "Phase 3" of the Return to Work Plan, meaning that instead of having to be in the office every other day, we'll be required to be there three days a week in preparation for the full return to work that will inevitably follow.
Since my particular team has already received permission to stay on that schedule going forward (even after everyone else has to return to the office full time), I'm still not happy about it—for all the reasons listed in the tweets above.
Two years ago when we were all forced to make changes to the way we did—well, pretty much everything—I viewed it as an opportunity for humanity to move forward; to finally break out of the toxic behaviors that contributed to the general fucked-up state of modern civilization, and frankly it felt good. But greed and pursuit of the almighty dollar wouldn't allow that.
And now we find ourselves in the position of putting money before safety and in the rush to get everything back to the same toxic "normality" it was before March 2020, I fear we are setting ourselves up for another disaster when the next COVID variant appears. Human stubbornness, stupidity, and overall resistance to change will not allow the kind of societal evolution that needs to occur.
And now Biden is advocating an full end to telecommuting?
Fuck that..
