Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

It’s great that office workers get this benefit, but it hurts to see as a person who has to be onsite for their industry. Or just any increase in the benefits of my job.
I’d love zero commute and the comfort of home.
At least the commute will be less crowded for those who have to make it.
this should also lead to better benefits and pay for on-site workers. many people will start looking for office jobs which increases demand for on-site.
I see no issue with people that are forced to RTO being paid a travel allowance of some sort, it's time taken from them for job related activities.
Normalize paying for the commute. I think that would be a positive thing.
My industry is completely understaffed, it hasn’t led to better wages.
Unionize and fight.
Should office workers get worse conditions because of your career choice? If work from home is so important to you, why not get an office job?
"I want to be a marine biologist but I don't think it's fair that I can't just work in the town I grew up in in the middle of Iowa!"
No.
I literally said it’s great to see them get a benefit.
That doesn’t mean it doesn’t sting when you see other industries seeing improvements, while your own is constantly treated like shit. And I work in early childhood education, if we all just left that would fuck over the children and risk their lives.
Just like any other strike ends up hurting someone, gotta break eggs to make an omelette.
People who do your job go on strike every few years around here and the parents have to take the slack, it's not your problem.
Would you be thinking of the children if you were asked to do your job for free? Hell no.
To reinforce this, if my kids school system went on strike I would be behind it 100%.
It would fucking suck for us, but educators deserve better and I want them to get it.
