My vote too. It's crazy, nothing can be trusted when it relies on ads. Everyone likes to think it doesn't work on them or is worth the free content but they are wrong and it isn't.

I did once. I was young and broke and I saw another apartment in my same building on craigslist for less than I was paying. Tried to call my landlord (who was one guy and not a giant Corp) but he wouldn't return my calls. So I sent a check for 50 bucks less via certified mail - he called me the moment it arrived and let me get away with it. That apartment was 550 and a drop to 500 made a difference for me then. Now... That same shitty apartment probably rents for 2k a month.

I think the exception proves the rule though so I won't make you eat any paint chips.

That last bit is HUGE. Part of what is great about working from home is flexibility and forcing people to be in on certain days just isn't ever going to work for everyone. Inevitably you will end up with meetings where one person has to dial in and now the rest of team is annoyed they made the effort to show up that day.

Anyway, I don't disagree with you that a hybrid where everyone is on the office together for some amount of time could be very good for productivity and teamwork. However, it just isn't a realistic which then, as you said, makes it pointless.

Just let people work from wherever works for them.

And nanies cost money. So do you have another employee who could be productive now play babysitter half the time? That isn't going to help anything but a lot of companies seem to think it's the answer.

Why though. So I might be able to reduce nausea to do... What. Be forced to see ads for shit I don't want?
