They don’t really give a shit about carbon emissions or employee wellbeing.
And then they get offended when we wanna work that match our pay
suits don’t give a shit about anything except lining their pockets. part of the job is to say things that get public approval which is often mistaken as them actually caring for said things

“We’ll try anything as long as it fits in our exact worldview and doesn’t inconvenience us in any way whatsoever”
Meanwhile remote-first companies are saving money on office space and can use that to hire more people, while also immediately being greener than a company with commuters that have to worship the concrete temple.
How could you flip the burgers from home, Steve?
Reducing commute for office workers makes commute easier for the blue collar workers
I got in trouble for asking why they don’t increase remote work at a conference about reducing co2 at work. They just answered “don’t be ridiculous” and afterward ig go a talk by my manager reminding me that my contract would have to be renew in less than a year
Before we had the pandemic, the argument was that working from home wasn’t as productive and that quality of work would be reduced, and so on. Yet, now we’ve run this experiment at scale and have conclusive evidence that none of that is true. Anybody who works on a computer can work from home perfectly fine, and we’ve now ironed out the process around that. There is absolutely no excuse to continue forcing people back into the office. It’s pure malice at this point.
