why federal employees and not the private sector? oh right you want to fire half of the first group.
Well, also how would they mandate that for private companies?
Most CEOs are the worst kind of trump bootlickers. And musk too. My last job, CEO thought musk was a genius and had a list of his “rules for business” laminated on his desk.
Ew, not to kink shame, but getting off on Musk and Business at the same time should be illegal
well it is enough for Elon to suggest it. that is the kind of presidency they will be running as is obvious from Disney, IBM etc going back to advertising with Xitter
That’s the thing which makes it all funny, RTO in the private sector was a failure.
Sure some people went back cause they were forced to, but offering remote work for new positions is very popular now.
Companies have power over their current employees but not the new ones. So the industry is becoming more remote friendly overall as salty CEOs cling on to their smaller and smaller workforce of in office loyalists.
Why? I think businesses should be left alone to decide.
They’re talking about federal employees
Let the managers decide, then.
If we won’t let logic or evidence do it, at least the people working directly with their teams and having to deal with them should do it.
I agree! If Elon musk cannot show up to his offices at Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, xAI, and Washington for 8 hours Monday-Friday, he should be fired without severance as CEO or co-chair of his government department.
Rules for thee, not for me.
It did seem weird to me that Harris or any of the other democratic candidates campaigned on remote work. Seems like a smart pro-worker position to take that would directly impact a group she was trying to court: college educated professionals who skew male. Plus lower environmental impact, cheaper gas, more opportunities for working parents, etc.
The cynical reason I assume it wasn’t a talking point is because the 1% who directed the media conversation had a vested interest in return to pre-Covid status quo.
Campaigning on remote work doesn’t really resonate with blue collar workers, though.
They’ve got to be where the work actually is to do their job.
It’s only the “paper pushers” who have the provelege of working remotely.
Back to the grind slaves. /S
Why the /s? They’re not being sarcastic and you’re just quoting them.
“Requiring federal employees to come to the office five days a week would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome”. this is and was always the reason american businesses were eager to force everybody back tp work. eat the rich.
Don’t forget to include giving middle-management a reason to exist as well as justifying the commercial properties expenses! Man do I hate capitalism…
The asswipes, Elon and Vivek, own several empty office buildings.
So they’ll be coming in every day to their offices in Washington right?
…right?
It’s interesting they have multiple offices. Offices they’re already not in. If there was a time for a general strike it is forever ago.
“iT’s Up To ThE sTaTes!!!1!”
So, he and his cabinet will be working 8 hours a day at least 5 days a week in DC ? Can we get that in written please ?
Maybe not in DC, but don’t underestimate how many hours most of these psychopaths actually work. They do come to work (maybe not in DC, but to some office somewhere) and work for 100 hours a week, because they place no value on anything other than work. You can fault them for many things, but billionaires are almost always true psychopaths with no concept of anything beyond working to achieve power.
Trump is a different story. He’ll say the golf course is his office, where he makes his deals.
Their work is a lot different than the work we do. (it’s not harder)
Disagree. When you look at their schedules a lot of work hours are actually like lunch meetings or golf trips or whatever they need to do to justify networking without actual work.
I remember my last job, I would have to take days off for sick days, or half days for the Dentists. My boss however would send out emails like “Hey I am going out of town to Palm Springs, I’ll be there for 3 weeks, I will be available for phone from the golf course so I am really only taking 2 days of PTO”
You can fault them for many things, but billionaires are almost always true psychopaths with no concept of anything beyond working to achieve power.
I can definitely fault them for that
There’s no way Musk “works” 100 hours a week. How do you think he’s found all this time to spend with his new bestie Donald? By all accounts the guy spends a significant amount of his time playing video games and on Twitter. His “work” is lunch meetings and zoom calls with the board where he just spitballs a bunch of nonsense.

god I fucking hate these people. Pure fucking hatred.
Imagine owning the libs by spending your whole life trapped in an office serving capital.
Saying the quiet part out loud again.
They believe that us not being forced to do what they want simply because they want it is a “privilege,” and one that they can and will just arbitrarily decree to be null and void.
That says pretty much everything you meed to know about what they really think about everyone other than themselves.
And ironically enough, what they think is that they themselves are privileged.
Fuck you both
A people elected government has a mandate to protect its people. Its real frightening to see that instead it announces adopt the worst business practises of private economy.
