Cackled out loud on that one

i personally don't want to head straight to a zoom call. but im not exactly excited to be at the office.

lol

Wouldn't be surprised if that truly was the case. No irony at all.

Thats awesome!!;

This comment should be at the top

Speaking of slaves. A guy that got fired said. "I'm fired? I thought slaves were sold"

Your comment is Gold

BINGO!

Life's a choice ya dum dum. You chose to be a slave and make less. Sounds like you wasted your life.

Totally agree the office is often a lonely place with little interactivey

Work never ends, but social circles ends, so in person meeting is more important than the work itself

@Maintenance Renegade I have a tendency to bring along the best ones from company to company.

The office is full of fake interaction. Home is better. Fake people want the fake interaction.

I worked in a company for a few months, never felt like it was natural and was abused out of work, since then I just work at home I learned software programming, made a lot of true friends and one of them even got famous in the world of hacking and made a lot of money and we learned together I'm working on a font rendering and layout engine currently, feels good to work for yourself

😂😂

Only because they're forced to interact with him since he's the CEO. What an insufferable kahunt he must be.

😂 he's got to sing from the same hymn sheet so to speak as his Boomer investors. A lot of renegade wantrepreneurs end up towing the pukey corporate line in the end. They decided to join them instead of beating them.

Spending time with people you're paid to have inhuman interactions with is what makes you "human" and the only thing that builds "community"? What sort of deranged antisocial drivel are these two peddling?

He's going to try to sell that notion to ALL of his investors AND the media, not just the "Boomers".@@metastract

More specifically, to be centered around her emptiness.

you don't understand. it's not the company - it's family :) (forget about firing because 'nothing personal - just business' for a sec, c'mon) :)

If she wants that so badly and believes in that so strongly, she has to go old-school and build a "company town": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_town Kick out the cash, employee stock ownership, and subsidize employee housing/rent, or let the employee work remote (especially if white-collar).

Democrats tried to demonize churches, locked everything down so people couldn't go out and gather for parties, meetups, family reunions, etc and now their corporate masters want to replace actual communities and places of gathering with the office. A natural extension of offering "free food" as a benefit and game rooms and other recreational junk no one is actually allowed to use. It's pretty clear to me the government and corporations are working hand in hand to turn us into drones.

@@acsound Google has basically proposed that before. Google co-developed smart cities. They're not explicitly stated to be company towns but you can easily imagine the end result. IIRC the plans were shelved a few years ago, but I suspect there will be a big push for it again, possibly with covid or other virus/disease tracking as an excuse. edit: google already worked with Massachusetts to silently push MassNotify, a covid track and map app, to android devices.

Concerns employees' mental health but keeps forcing unpaid overtime. Yeah, right...

Or being naive and confiding to them about mental illness and they used what you confided in them against you.

Bam!

As an introvert, I can strongly believe this.

The only thing "squeezing our little souls" are corporate policies.

they want people back so they can have actual physical people to be a "CEO" around.

And .... they want the control. They get off on it.

@@wilobrien9731 that part.

Agreed, they like to come into the physical office for the palpable power they feel. It comes from insecurity. Let go of the fear people!

I don't think that's it. It's more they don't like feeling out of control. It's harder to justify their position when they can't be pretending to do work all day by "socializing" with employees. When you can justify half your day walking around talking to employees for "employee bonding" and then you're forced to do remote work where the expectation is you're 100% productive even if you were only 50% productive in office... yeah... they'd rather just throw all the employees under the bus for their own benefit.

@xraf32 we dont need that kind of thing around here. Just because a lot of western 'values' are imposed by the political and economic 'elite,' doesnt mean that it's the perspective of the general or any subset of the population.

Well, if you are a commuter, part of the time you would have been depressed, you are instead either afraid of getting into an auto accident, or having some road rage. So there's that...

@@menopillion9853 What I hate most is that they pretend to care about our mental health, but never listen to our concerns. If the same work can be done at home I don’t see why people should be forced back into the office. They should be able to make their own decisions like grown adults.

At least with Zoom you can zone out without someone looking over our souls.

@@melindagallegan5093 yeah so true. i only listen up if im the focus of conversation. i stretch, do other things, etc while call is going. in physical meeting, i have to be presentable, attentive, etc even if conversation is too long.

In my case I have to commute via public transit but since I live in a major US city that has good public transit. Either way though, it still takes an hour to commute. The only reason I’m even at my office is because it’s part of my job as the receptionist. But I personally like that almost everyone at my company is doing WFH. It means I can just have peace and quiet at the office and relax until I leave at 5 because apart from maybe 3-5 other people being in my big office no one ever comes in. So I’m pro WFH because I have a lot of independence from everyone else, and because if I did have a job that allowed WFH I’d absolutely be doing it myself to achieve maximum independence.

This is exactly what this is..

The term "Energy Vampire" from What We Do In the Shadows. So accurate!

C O L L A B O R A T E

When I had my own company I was in the office for a day or 2 out of 6. The rest of the time I was dealing with customers and installers. How much time is really required to be in the office depends on what the company does and where in the business growth cycle they are. Typically the newer the company is the more you need to be in the office growing it but eventually you just dont have to because your job is basically resource management and you can do that from anywhere

Questioning your CEO = one-way trip to the salt mines you slave!

Literally all I could think about this whole time. I was told to go to a training for 2 weeks that was 3 hours away and when I asked how to get reimbursed for the hotel, they were like no. That is close enough that you will commute each day, and you cannot bill for the travel time. Wtf?!?!

@@InfiniteQuest86 how many miles was it?

Agreed. We had a clique of movie fans at my office, a group of us who would go to the movies and hang out every couple of weeks, outside of work, on our own time. Sure, most of those people have long since moved on to other companies, but some of us still go to the movies and still hang out - because we are actual friends, not just colleagues. We have a real community of like-minded people who like to hang out, and the office plays no role in that anymore, apart from getting us together in the first place (and giving us material for rants, lol)

The only thing "squeezing our little souls" are corporate policies.

How dare you protect your blood pressure by not commuting 😂😂

You're not a human if you are not wasting on public traffic space? Got it. 🤣

I sometimes drive around looking for traffic to sit in. And I just sob in traffic and tell the cars around me how grateful I am to be here. And I beg road workers to take their time because I dont want to lose this feeling.

Damn straight. With remote working, you have... -No workplace bullying and harassment -You can use your own bathroom, not the disgusting public restrooms -Less getting sick from contagious diseases, including colds and flus -No commute -Can work in sweat pants and a t-shirt -No chance of dying in a workplace mass shooting. Morbid, but a very real risk, especially in the USA. In fact, I can't think of any downsides -- for the employee -- of remote working. For that matter, I can't think of any downsides for management, other than they can't micromanage you and create more needless stress in your life.

@@mushroomsteve u forgot breakfast. With remote work, you can take your time to make coffee or toast instead of rushing to the office. Thats a good start to begin the day.

@@williamwong9362 Yes, that is totally true, and makes things so much less stressful in the morning!

Not to mention ... better for the environment, less traffic on the road for everyone else, and less sexual harrassment for female employees.

@@williamwong9362 i hear you when i work remote i can have a late breakfast and instead skip lunch. and then im done an hour early.

She mentions her daughter's mental health but how much of that stems from poor upbringing where this woman didn't teach her how to be more resilient?

@@leshawn.d.1805 teach her how to be more resilient? What kind of statement is that? For starter "resilience" is a virtue you cant't learn that. second mental health will come for you when it comes for you, it's not something you can just learn to not have an issue with. You either suffer or you don't and when you do then you can learn how to deal with it. But their is no learning to "get over it" before it's an issue.

​@@user-nd7rd8jo6h A person can't be taught how to handle adversity and difficulties in life? Seriously? And let me guess, poor parenting can't negatively affect a person's mental health? Don't use quotes unless you're ACTUALLY quoting the person you're responding to. And yes, if her child had been raised in a manner that taught her how to handle difficulties as they arise there is a GOOD chance she would not have the problems she has today but no _sensible_ person would look at this woman and believe without substantial proof that she was an even remotely competent and active parent in her child's life. It's the unfortunate reality that most highly successful people have to make many sacrifices to get where they are and family is usually a casualty in seeking that goal. OR, she's just lying and using her child for her own ends. Either way, you're completely wrong about people being unable to handle life's difficulties if they have the right guidanace and training to do so. And before you say it, no, it's not an absolute. Some people can get all the support, guidance and love in the world but still succumb to mental health issues. That still doesn't negate the fact that the above mentioned significantly decreases the likelihood of it happening.

@@user-nd7rd8jo6h i understand your point but disagree

@@leshawn.d.1805 mental health is a forged in fire kind of thing. Sure you can get some guidance in your upbringing and I'm not saying that accounts for nothing but really it's not until you truly suffer it that you have any idea how it operates and how it disables. You can't harden yourself to something like that in advance. You can improve your disposition you can set a healthy framework and that's something you could get through a healthy upbringing but to say "learn to not have mental health problems" is so out of touch I'm not even surprised. The transition from ok, to crisis is often so imprescriptible it far more often than not takes a crisis or a drastic quality of life degradation to begin acting on it, so how are you expecting someone to be in a position to learn it when they aren't in it's midst? That all said I can certainly agree that this lady was probably not very available to help facilitate that framework or to offset some of those dispositions and given her language in this interview she Is most certainly creating a narrative to suit her talking point. Cause I'm sorry but a podcast does not offset the financial burden and the time sink required to transport onself to a office much less the toll of actually being in that environment, especially when most office jobs can be done...while listening to podcasts! I work from home, I repurposed a bedroom into an office so I have a lot of leg room and way to many plants and multiple windows to get some kind of sun while working... As a CSR in a office I'd have a small space, maybe a succulent and halogen lighting... It's 40steps to my office as opposed to 40-65minutes to the office (without traffic) anyone making a case for this being better than my situation clearly has some issues that don't lend to the most caring of parenting.

Yup! Distraction work productivity loss is real!!!

Or just do a hobby… like normal people

Hostess, I'm fantasizing.

@@Buenanueva1 theres better places to meet people and make friends..... some of us have lives and love ones outside the office....

Those CEOs and self-made slaves are so sad that I feel no frustration... just pity for them.

Yeah I think these CEOs are having people come in to show adoration or elation, because they are the bigwig, THAT’S really what they are in for. Maybe the office is what makes THEM feel human. These dysfunctional freakin people. It’s proven then getting more time back in your day improves mental health. The only time having the office to go into being a matter of improving mental health, is when your work situation at home is untenable. Like maybe a bad relationship, or loud children never stop interrupting.

and of course CEOs think it's all sunshine and rainbows. Have you ever seen a CEO walk around an office? They're surrounded by an army of yes men and kiss asses. Some employees might ask to shake their hand or pose for a picture if it's a big company. Of course the office looks amazing if that's your experience. If every joke you tell is funny. If every anecdote you have is insightful. Life looks quite different for the guy typing on spreadsheets for 7 hours and who has some mixed vegetables waiting in the work fridge.

They want to make sure we aren't at home watching videos like this hahaha they can't properly enforce "corporate culture" anymore, either

AMEN!! Too much weird shit goes on at the office today. A bunch of rude, gossipy people. I’ve WFH for over 20 years and I only want to socialize with WHO I CHOOSE TO!

Well, the "live to work" phase is typical of twenty-something, because they are eager to prove themselves worthy, was one of those; but once you see it does not make any difference at the end , the motto switch fast to "work to live" and stay there

Also because at the 50+ time (of course right before I entered the workforce) effort was somehow well rewarded, unlike now

I'm 51 and have been trying to tell the kids that since the late 90s.

The only thing "squeezing our little souls" are corporate policies.

Oh yeah sociopath would make sense. Because she wouldn’t understand human connection at all. She thinks human connection is having a bunch of people who have to be nice to her, because she’s the boss. She doesn’t understand that people have actual real connections with other people that take time, and that time can be used from a commute. Plus, she doesn’t care.

Lol I thought the same!

Same lmao

Fuck! Like I don't know how these idiots don't see that plus 1,000 other reasons

And all the money your company saves because of the they dont have to pay the bills for light and water so they save so much money because the offices are closed

The problem is, the CEO can go and have hobbies and friendly meet ups, but in that context she won't be the CEO. The office is where peacocks go to roost. You remove that, and they need to find another way to strut.

1.) bosses def love the office so they can strut around like politicians. 2.) workers who cling around the office extra long are usually avoiding their spouse at home. 3.) workers organize through text how to sneak out for lunch so that an annoying co-worker doesn't come along. One poor guy had to share a cubicle office w him and needed out. Writing code doesn't require 80dB voice. I needed to edit video and hear. His voice overpowered pro DJ cans.

I am sorry for your loss. And I am glad you are feeling better.

Bloat employees that needed to be axed anyway but the CEO doesn't do anything because they're out of touch too. WFH cut out the unnecessary bloat jobs, employees, and activities so they can't control actually productive workers who do their jobs well and bloat employees kick up a fuss about it.

I'd commute every day to NOT live in a suburban neighborhood. It's the most soulless, humanity-destroying concept I've ever seen. Fuck it, give me an apartment on top of the walled city over suburbia. I didn't understand the phrase "white people have no culture" until I saw this garbage. It ACTUALLY has no culture. I wasn't aware it was possible for so many humans to live somewhere and have no culture. I'm not surprised the suicide rate there is so high. The fact that you can brainwash people to DESIRE this is proof that many people have been completely alienated from what makes us human.

@@Nerobyrne ah. I was wondering when the "THE SUBURBS SUCK BUT I'VE NEVER LIVED THERE LOL I'M EDGY" response would show up. What is wrong with you that you are so compelled to repeat such nonsense? What culture are YOU actively creating that you can proclaim others lack?

@@mgancarzjr Culture naturally develops where humans congregate. Which is why I wonder what happened to Americans that they think this kind of lifestyle is desirable. Can you describe what's good about it? The fact that there's nothing for literally miles? The fact that you have to drive several hours for anything remotely worth your time? The fact that you paid large sums of money or your parents worked themselves to death for something most other people would pay money NOT to experience? What good thing are you experiencing in this dirth of humanity that you call a neighborhood? PS: I wasn't aware that there were so many other people who felt that way, but it makes sense. I reached this conclusion on my own when I looked up "Suburban neighborhood" after hearing people talk about it, and couldn't believe people PAY MONEY to live in what are essentially human breeding farms. If aliens invented a way to farm humans, that's what I'd imagine they would create.

@@Nerobyrne I live in the burbs and keep an office on one of the most urban downtown blocks in my state (I'm self-employed so it's a choice). There is 100x more life and community right now in my suburban neighborhood than there is downtown. There's actually more cultural diversity. Especially among families. Life is where the people are. I love it downtown. I like to walk from place to place during the day. But it's not "better" than the burbs. Just different.

Not all boomer feel that way, just the jerks.

​@@SM-wc7vl I couldn't agree more with your statement

With all these health measures, doing remote work is the best option. But then I wonder, what will happen when all these remote workers create their own remote communities and go at it alone? Looks like these companies will not longer have any more slaves to exploit.
