where else is the money going to come from? plus all the stores that rely on commuting, coffee shops, gas stations, etc. we can;t sustain so many people staying at home. so either spend that excess money or we tax it.

From the companies themselves? Asking the government to tax everyone working from home might legitimately be one of the worst ideas I've heard, especially since not all work from home situations are the same.

For example, I live in Phoenix, and for business reasons, I'm part of a team based on the east coast. I didn't make that choice, the company made it for me. No one else in my physical office works on my team, or does the same work as I do. There is absolutely no benefit to me coming in to the office at this time, for me OR the company. I'm supposed to get taxed 10% because the company got smart enough to realize that we don't need everyone in the same place to be effective? Remote work is being used by a lot of companies to expand their footprint, and take steps towards having the best available talent on hand, not just the best talent that was within acceptable commuting range. Taxing those employees would be a huge step back.

I am in bed. I am not on a NJ Transit after a 68 minute train ride wearing a mask, about to walk through Penn Station, several blocks to the shuttle to get to Grand Central.

Fukk free snacks

I’m about to get up, water my garden, eat oatmeal, and work downstairs in front of the television.

I do not miss that train ride to Penn Station. The anxiety of not knowing if the train was going to be delayed, or straight up canceled. Then sit for 20 minutes outside of Seacacus Junction, for a train to pass by, when we could have already arrived at Penn 10 minutes earlier had the train not stopped. Then walking through K-Town, stepping over vomit. Then get to the job, and my own director is playing fantasy [Insert sport based on the season here] most of the day.

It’s cheap as hell. But it’s a usb device that you plug in to your laptop and it moves the mouse on your laptop all day, so your Microsoft team will says your available or busy without you even being there.

Your welcome.:blessed:

Edit—just make sure you got your teams installed on your phone, in case you get an IM from someone while your out.
:pachaha: Fr

Sooner or later though stuff will come out that tracks you. We can enjoy it while it lasts. :blessed:

Coming quickly on a year at my gig (:whoo:Time flies) and i'm growing sick of the office again. If I could get a Cloud Associate remote position I would be back flipping in the office for the last couple of weeks that I am there. It's not even the work environment: cooking steaks, keeping the house clean, working while traveling with the laptop on the hotspot...I want that back. fukk an oncoming recession, though.
