NYC Mayor Eric Adams decries remote work: 'You can't stay home in your pajamas all day'

[Marlow Stanfield]

Shiiiiitttttt last month the job confirmed our hybrid scheduling is no longer in the pilot phase and is now permanent.

I'm 50% in/50% out until I leave

if you think I'm going back to buying monthly Metrocards.

Also, 85% of the lunch spots by the office are trash, so they can go. Aint nobody finna risk food poisoning, indigestion, or diarrhea eating at those pay-by-the-pound lunch spots that litter Midtown anyway.

All mayors are this to some degree or another?

Not all of them. His city clearly has a high reliance on people working in physical offices, because they generate rental revenues, sales (restaurants and consumer goods like clothes) revenues, transportation (buses, trains and ferriies) revenue and tax dollars and maybe even municipal bonds. Cities that are more dispersed with a large number of automobile commuters probably had it a lot easier than Cities like New York and Chicago, because auto commuting cities probably already had less dependence on people coming into the city's center.

At the end of the day, educated high demand YOUNG workers with options dictate the work market. What one company won’t, others will. And then other companies will have no choice but to follow. And then government will always be desperate for talent pulling up the rear

So that’s one thing I’m with gen z on. They live with their parents and have a general ‘meh’ attitude about work so they will turn down a 6 figure job to go be an artist. That benefits remote work

tell that shuzu chen

you cacs are replaceable

This is from 2022.

He's recently come around when it came to remote work.

Why are people so thirsty to still work at home?

It was one thing during the height and prime moments of COVID-19 but we're way past that now, and by that I mean yeah sure covid still around but it definitely ain't like it was during it's prime weeks and months.

Working from home was never meant to be a permanent thing so I don't understand why people are appalled at the idea of going back to work in an office, sit inside a cubicle, etc (if that's the kind of job they are working) when that's what they've been doing prior to the pandemic.

Bosses and managers aren't fans of working from home because they can't keep tabs on you, which is understandable as a person could be slacking at home and not working the days and hours they're supposed to be working but will mark themselves as doing so.

This is just silly, and completely depends on the work being done. I remember sitting at a desk slacking off plenty and "looking busy" for most of the day. COVID exposed the fact that this type of work should not be beholden to the office. My work is deadline based, so as long as I hit my deliverables, who cares if I'm sitting at a desk browsing TheColi lol...

I'll happily log on in the evening and work till midnight. I also might sleep in until 10am the next day. If I hit my targets and my clients are happy, who fukking cares lol

 

[DonRe]

Again with bacon bits Eric Adams?

You are puppet for the rich in the city who need us peasants come back to those stupid offices. And spend 5 dollars for a fukkin bagel with cream cheese.

Suck a dikk. Worry about how to provide jobs and financial literacy course in the hood.

What you're not understanding is that whether you're goofing off or not the point is at least they know that you are physically there at work in their presence so they'll know if you've been slacking based on if the amount of work and assignments/tasks are being completed in a time-sensitive manner.

Working from home means they can't tell if you're truly working or not because they can't monitor you, for example, you might take a day off on your own time when you weren't supposed to do so, but you'll check in saying you were working such and such hours that day but the truth is you weren't and you'd be getting paid for those hours when you shouldn't be.

Did working in the office and networking and building relationships with your teammates stop the hundreds of thousands of layoffs companies are doing

That piece of propaganda didnt even survive 6 months of the real world test

 

[3rdWorld]

This dude is a corp shill and its funny that all the gen x older rappers like this fed. Dude is protecting interests of commercial property

I knew he was a fraud with his fawning over these human rights violating police

 

[Pedro Negro]

Another completely BS take from a BS politician.

And who’s to say us remote workers don’t support local businesses and have human interaction working from home?

I say “Thanks!” to the Uber Eats delivery driver at least 2x a week, breh.

Either way, good luck with all of this. My companies entire model shifted heavily towards allowing MORE people to work remotely so you either get with the times or get left behind with the rest of the pencil pushers.

 

[⠀X ⠀]

That ship has sailed. I ain’t never going back to being stuck on the train with them ugly, stank mofos or sitting in traffic for 2 hours a day.

I’m on zoom calls like this, with a glass of cognac

 

[FlyGuy]

Low wage workers were the only motherfukkers who had to leave the house all Covid

Calling us essential and shyt. Yes, essentially fukked if we don’t risk our lives and get out there during a damn global pandemic


I really feel bad for whoever thinks Eric Adams actually gives one iota of a fukk about them

 

[CashmereThoughts]

I don’t understand how his messaging can be this out of touch. Trump level lack of awareness.
