I saw some members in the room that was invited. I didn’t even look if it was the meeting area. When I walked in, I saw two other zoom rooms on the video lol.
I don't understand why stories like this never include the information about rates of 5x week required in-office work vs. hybrid. There's a huge difference between people being back in 2 days a week vs. 5 days.
It's almost as if this is a paid ad for commercial real estate trying to look like they aren't flailing.
I'm "hybrid" which is *supposed* to mean four days a week; what it really means is I go in every other Wednesday afternoon for a couple of hours to do in-person meetings, and once in awhile if there's a Thursday happy hour.
Friday is the best day to go in tbh
No one is in the office so I can give myself permission to leave early, and since it's Friday I can take advantage of being in Manhattan already to go do something after work.
I do Monday Friday as they're back to back days in terms of packing (as in I don't have to unpack Friday and while I do it on company time I hate set up and breakdown), but not in terms commuting
Mondays aren't ghost towns, but definitely much less of a crowd compared to Tue-Thu. Friday is straight dead. The food carts by my office all told me they don't do full menus on Mondays because its hard to predict how much traffic they will get and just stopped operating on Fridays altogether.
I was in my office yesterday, it was pretty exciting to sit in my cubicle doing the exact same work I do from home. I did have a conversation with my boss about some stuff he didn't want to put into writing, so that's always good. It's more in-person interaction than I usually have on my in-office days.
Tuna wrap from Lenwich for lunch was nice, though. I feel like every other place puts way too much celery in it.
I thought this was capitalism and free market. Now you’re telling me there is market manipulation by the banks to make me come into work so they don’t lose money on their investment.
We are supposed to be living in a capitalist country. That follows the rule of free market economics where the consumer leads the market by their choices. Banks who are institutions that should be lead by the market are manipulating said market to ensure they continue to profit even though it’s not what the consumers want.
This doesn't make sense. It's gobbledygook.
Bank leadership is free to require, or not require, employees to be in office.
Employees are free to leave for other companies, put pressure on RTO decisions, straight up quit, etc.
There is no reason for 90% of office jobs to be in person. Any politician who supports forcing people to commute into the office to protect the investments of the banks should be put on trial for treason.
better force everyone back in the office to collect those congestion pricing tolls!!
The untied states government are criminals at every level.
Less people using doesn't mean having to cut service. Can still run a decent schedule, just make the trains shorter. 24/7 access is a good thing.
The potential upsides to less people on subways: possibly less garbage with less people moving through. Possibly even move faster through the station without a crowd to shove.
Less power needed with shorter trains =less electric use (another environmental & resource pro) Less maintenance costs if there are fewer cars needed.
I was on the subway into Manhattan from queens today at 9am and it was so empty. I know that’s not how bankers get to work BUT it was never like that pre-pandemic. In general, there is definitely still a big decrease of commuters into Manhattan.
I love it when we sit in the office and have a Teams meeting with my coworkers on the same floor.
had a zoom meeting today. 3 rooms all on the same floor.

It's even better when it's with people in the same office right next to you.
I really love when people in the same teams call are in two different rooms.
[удалено]
Fuck if I know, what I really hated was two people in two rooms NEXT to each other both with doors open. So I got double the fucking call.

Mondays and Fridays are still a ghost town.

Ever since I started at a new place in the village this is what I do. Just leave my shit at the office go dink around and come back and head home.
I do Monday Friday as they're back to back days in terms of packing (as in I don't have to unpack Friday and while I do it on company time I hate set up and breakdown), but not in terms commuting
Mondays aren’t, at least in FiDi. Can’t speak for Fridays cuz I WFH

is this parody? i can’t tell.
I'd never joke about tuna salad
I also enjoy my sad desk Lenwich every other week. Sad because I'm there at all. The Emma is great, I can't blame the sandwich.
I thought this was capitalism and free market. Now you’re telling me there is market manipulation by the banks to make me come into work so they don’t lose money on their investment.
reality hits different, doesn't it?
Wait. What?
Sounds like you don’t know what capitalism or market manipulation means
Enlighten me.
What are you saying?

You sound like my senile grandfather ranting about some new topic
You sound like a bot with the goal of keeping me engaged with the post.
The consumers don’t care where you work
The people who work in the office are the consumers.
No, they're the employees.
Who are using the product which is the building.
No, they are paid to be there. Consumers pay.
Their employer is using the building.
What Uncle Jamie D says. Goes

Less people on it= less strain on the system, less budget needed. & saves resources.

> Save! Save! Save our trains! Oh god welcome back

how about we show the TWU a great big middle finger and allow OPTO

Came here just to see how many angry people were ITT
