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

[Tetris v2.0]

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.

What I'm saying is that is an antiquated concept and, depending on the type of work, employers need to start trusting their employees and adapting, especially if deliverables are met and there's no perceived reason for concern. I don't need to work 9-5 and deal with rush hour traffic both ways and scramble to get my personal errands done around those times anymore

This is a Napster level, Netflix level change. We ain't going back to the video store breh, those days are done. This is the new normal

I am more productive at home. At work, people want to make small talk, and distract me. I save money from commuting, and probably avoid getting sick from being around all those people. It has greatly helped my mental health, and overall well being. Plus I get to run all kinds of errands, get my haircut during the day, and not sit at the barbershop for hours on the weekend.

Welp mister adams, I stepped my game up to a point where I don’t have to do physical labor like those illegal “migrants” you have no issue welcoming to our city.

The economy of the city’s businesses in the vicinity of the office I USED TO go to is not my concern. Maybe he can have his drivers take him all over the city during the week so he can buy breakfast and lunch at these businesses and help keep them afloat.

This bozo doesn’t know my work culture so I really don’t need to spend my day around annoying CACs and then a commute around annoying homeless people who have ZERO problem violating your personal space when they beg for money.

I’m good. I like working in bed. I start at 2pm today. It’s cold and windy today. I choose under the covers as my workplace.

They can’t have empty buildings downtown I see both sides, but you have to see the fallout from everybody working from home.People are still going out to eat, clubs, sporting events, etc.What would happen if shyt ain’t downtown no more? Imagine life if the majority of New York City workers straight up worked from home full time. Oh well. Shoutout to y’all WFH folks. I know a couple folks that have been doing it since before the pandemic.

not sure where you work but there are all kinds of ways at my job to tell if people aren’t just “taking a day off”

are they active on teams? do they show up for their meetings? are they answering/resolving internal support tickets? are they meeting their turn around times and deadlines? are they responsive to their clients/bringing in new clients? are those clients happy with their work? are they prepared when they have to present something?

depending on the type of work it will determine how you gauge whether the person is working, but there are ways to tell for almost every job I can think of in my company. at the end of the day we’re far more concerned if the job is getting done and getting done properly, than whether you are literally glued to your chair 8 hours a day. honestly that wasn’t even that big if a deal when we were in the office as long as people were completing their work on time and with an acceptable quality of work.

we also have all kinds of literal metrics that determine how people are performing.

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Yeah, but what are they gonna do with these hundred-floor thousand-foot skyscrapers that are mostly office buildings?

People are leaving the house less, which means they're spending less too, that's what has them worried.

Office vacancy will skyrocket 55% by the end of the decade as hybrid and remote work push real estate to an ‘inflection point’

Offices may become "obsolete" in larger numbers by the end of the decade due to the rise of remote work.

El trabajo remoto sigue causando pérdidas mil millonarias a Nueva York, ciudad llena de rascacielos de oficinas - El Diario NY

Trabajar desde casa está generando pérdidas de $12 mil millones de dólares al año en NYC por la gran cantidad de espacio de oficinas que ofrece la urbe llena de rascacielos y con tantos negocios alrededor que dependen de ellos

Turn them into high rise townhomes with multiple levels. 100 floors, give folks 3 levels each. They can be permanent Air BnB units. Out of towners would love the experience and the views.

Liberal mandates

You know how you view things differently as an adult when you know how the world functions? Who was buying Bart and Lisa all these plane tickets to visit these celebrities? Krusty was broke. How did they have all this extra time? Why were they allowed to fly unsupervised? How do you get that close to a celebrity? They aren’t allowing random kids into the gates of the Playboy mansion.

Crying for all the Business that depend on people being out and about spending money but people don't want to be out and about spending money when the cost of living is beyond a comfortable threshold.

These capitalists are just trying to drive people full speed into a brick wall before they address the fact that life is highly unaffordable right now and the only way the would do that is under a situation where collapse of order is imminent.

If you live in a major city you already know that you can see the rapid deterioration in the last few years. From NY to Toronto. These metropolis cities are trying to get people back in office but the public transit systems have become assault prone. Homelessness is noticeably up but not just that the mentally ill specifically are really out here in numbers.

If people want to work from home they should because they are saving some cost. His interests don't align with those of the common people and that's a problem. It shows how society has become more comfortable with appeasing business and corporate interests over those of people. A mayor for a city is supposed to represent the people in the city but instead he represents the business interests of the city to the people. Somewhere we went all the way off the rails....

Homeboy look like my waxed left nut when he close his mouth. He need to go on somewhere.



These big city shills like him and Lori Lightfoot are embarrassing. Literally nobody respects them because their shuck n jive is so obvious.



Lol

I've had some experience working from home but not as long as you. Man just the travel and nearly extra hour of sleep makes you a far superior worker lol.

It’s the goat

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

Yup

I used to just be on my phone most of the day if I didn’t have work

I kinda see the point. Long-term, too many people on WFH will mess up a lot of things. Human interaction is important. You gotta do networking, meet new people, get exposed to different ideas, smash a coworker or two, find new places when out and about...

But let's be real, with that kind of commute and general bullshyt in NYC of all places? Good luck trying to put that genie back in the bottle.

Bruh how the fukk is that our fault or our problem?

You negroes is so brainwashed when a rich person fall you say OW! I guarantee none of them developers or politicians are have a discussion about Tribal OutKast’s problems are they?

They never have to reap the consequences of their actions because they’re subsidized by the public. They will be again but they just want us to shoulder the burden so they don’t even have to go through the trouble to do that much.

fukk them developers and fukk Eric Adams. He’s not even giving an incentive to go back just cracking wise and finger wagging like a bald headed mammy.

They don’t give af about us man why do we jump through hoops to make sure their hood?

Seems to me that this is what American capitalism has always been about and thats evident by them allowing corps to install this 40 hour work week. what Adams is saying/doing pales in comparison IMO
