If people can work from home, let them. Makes my drive into the shop less painful (and it’s an environmental plus).
Aside from downtown corporate interests and parking lot slum lords, who actually benefits from this?
Is the government hoping for more attrition to lower the budget? Cause it’s more likely they’ll just see people quiet quit over actually quitting.
But hey, 25 dollar salad joints and giga expensive parking lot owners must be salivating right now.

It’s an effort to downsize by making people quit. Those who are unwilling or unable to quit end up spending lots of extra money and time to get to and from work.
Very cynical…

The only recompense that will drive things to a halt is work to rule. Work only to the letter of your contract. No extra effort and no extra time. This is also completely inaction-able by employers.

It would be smarter to do the opposite. To encourage and incentivize remote work. This will allow the high paying jobs in the cities to make their way to the more remote rural towns. Providing an economic boost and increase in residents choosing a quiet town vs the city which means more local business growth and more money for those towns to invest in infrastructure. This will put downward pressure on rent and realestate in cities allowing people to be able to afford to live in them if they choose and start families at younger ages vs the country relying on immigration

Engage with your bargaining committee folks! Let them hear your voices that this is the biggest priority.

I’ve worked from an office, fully remote, and hybrid. In my opinion, and for my job, hybrid works best for me. I’m 10x more productive at home due to no interruptions. Also, contrary to popular belief, I work more hours at home than I do in office. I enjoy going into the office when there’s a good reason to.
The reality is, there are a lot of people who don’t actually produce much in-office, but they’re good at performative productivity. Take away their stage, and they can’t produce much. I had a manager who said to me, “I don’t care where you sit or for how long, as long as you get your work done.” That’s the shift.

Dougie had a choice to make, and he chose Commercial Real Estate developers/landlords. There is no legal basis to undo it. Next best option is the next election.
