Entire team of Karens are laid off of Zoom. Chaos ensues.

They're remote workers. Of course then only work 6 hours per week. $100k is pretty much what every office worker makes nowadays.

I

I work remote and average 45-60 hours.

you sound like a bitter minimum wage tradie.

My buddy checks his emails a few times per hour, goes to the daily meeting or two, and otherwise chills out at home gardening, cooking, and exercising. He pulls in $200k annually, living in a high cost of living area though. And he STILL complains that he's underpaid.

thats called winning at life

Was she complaining about how no one can do billing like her?

Isn't that something they give juniors to get experience?

[crupiea]

Notice how she said ever since you guys took over or something to that effect.

Tells me their company was bought out. There is always some realignment when this happens so they should have probably anticipated some cuts coming their way.

it's a pretty niche industry and he's got a good skillset, so he's not quite on the level of those tiktokers. But it's extremely cushy living in California and not having to commute everyday. Basically the best of both lives. I can see why techies and office-drones are so venomous and unhinged when someone proposes an end to WFH. Especially during the tail end of the "pandemic," you saw a lot of panic and lashing out at companies asking them to return to offices.

I'm thinking David is a miscer.
Reveal yourself and receive some reps bro.

I mean, I can understand if a company doesn't want PC based workers to WFH full time, but making someone come on-site 5 days a week is straight up not necessary.

Maybe if you have very good systems/processes and the work is very straightforward, otherwise putting your revenue in the hands of an inexperienced junior sounds like a bad af idea

I deal with projects where monthly invoices go into the tens of millions

[OliverHeldens]

You can tell ITT who the people who have nothing going for them are. Kinda sad actually.

Lol, all these fat whales being laid off currently have nothing going for them as well!

Listen, change isn't always a bad thing. These women are clearly obese and entitled, so this should be the kick in the ass they all need to improve their lives.

Obviously change isn't pleasant. Most people are perfectly being fat and content with life. But that's not how any of this works, and they all need to reflect on things and hopefully they'll come out on top.

[saltypits]

Found a miscer in the comments:

It's the new normal.

[Foxmulder0]

What did David do??

They’re coming for you David

[OliverHeldens]

Obviously David is a strong man in some respect, and they want to take him down to place him beneath them to boost their own low self esteem.

[RocknRollMuscle]

Lol, yep. It's zero shock that this group were let go.

People who work remote are by far the easiest to let go. They provide the least value.

and on site people cost way more, gossip all day, surf the web, demand more benefits/$ cuz of their 2 hour commute each day, plus office cost.

Also you can't hire stellar workers, cuz they got for remote jobs cuz they know their worth. So you're left with bottom fo the barrel. And even if you have stellar workers, you're always worried the competition will poach them with remote work.

Has nothig to do with "what workers like". It's about competition and recruiting the best. $$$.

[Destor]

Stellar workers aren’t sitting at home trying to do as little as possible for as much hourly pay as possible.

The absolute best workers out there are likely starting their own companies and making huge personal sacrifices to add as much value to society as possible, none of which can be done from home in your pyjamas

Lol, remember markets are very efficient. If there’s a person working at home who is truly worth it, a company will allow them to do so.

95% of people need to be babysat in the office and are completely replaceable.
