"The really good workers might be sitting there at their home desk, wherever that is," he says. "And they're supposed to stop at 5 o'clock, and they look at their watch or their computer and they realize it's 7 o'clock and they've still been working, because they get into things and they start getting stuff done and they just keep on going."
Look hoss, that is not being more productive, that is just an idiot working longer.

when the strip club asks you to work from home...they're really asking you to leave.

They're hinting at the potential for very long-term change, perhaps even permanent.

we laid off "several hundred" people yesterday and
May 6, 2020, 12:34 PM

eliminated "many" jobs. At least that's what the email I got yesterday at 5:30 said.
It was only about 3 weeks ago that during an "all hands" call that we were told we had enough cash on hand to last a year with no revenue. Over the 3 years with this company, its been proven to me that whatever executive mgt says, its always the exact opposite.
We have another all hands call tomorrow, so I wonder what we'll be told then?

cash. Then somebody showed them how much more their bonuses could be if they cut some. If you find yourself not very busy, just assume you're next.

I messaged my boss, he answered, then never messaged me back. About an hour later he called me, and when I saw his call I just figured I was gone. Luckily, he said no one in our immediate org was affected. We've run so lean for so long that if they started canning people now, it would affect what business we have left. If they fire me, or anyone immediate to me, we're probably well on our way to closing.

This sounds like it will get messy.

You are going to have some broad who really just wants to work from home claim they are "trying" or some old broad saying it is discrimination since she no longer can become pregnant.

Yeah this is a bad idea. I assume Flow is just trying to do the right thing but someone is going to claim "familial discrimination" or some ########.

also have a guy with a lung tumor that will continue to work from home. The conditions have to have a doctor's note...which the pregos have.
