Sometimes I wonder if these titles are purposely chosen to outrage people or a subtle nod to the absurdity of the situation by an author/editor who’s secretly pissed but has to make money.

So many times I’ve seen articles like “25 Year Old Millionaire Landlord Says Gen Z ‘Too Lazy’ For Thinking They Can’t Afford Housing” and I can’t help but think it’s too on the nose

I think they’re the former, pure rage bait for normal people but also I think that rich people form the other part of the readership and articles like these confirm their biases.

Guy's father went to Wharton, he went to Yale and was part of the 'Skull and Bones' freakshow, then worked at an investment bank and became an executive at age 31 lmao, but he's out here banging on about how everyone's a lazy bum

👆 This you?

I work, remotely, indirectly for this fucker and it fucking pains me everyday knowing that I am directly working against my own interests. 😭

I wanna find something to work on GNOME or something Linux related. Sure they rolled onto Baghdad with Red Hat and open source, but at least all my homies also get to benefit...

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

The uncritical publishing of this shit from highly motivated actors and against the interests of almost the entire population should be considered a crime

Fuck you fuck you fuck you. I'm a recovering agoraphobe and you are literally destroying my life, Steve. I know there are much bigger issues right now but on a personal level I want this man to get torn apart by wolves in Minecraft, and then again in real life, and then again in some metaphysical way beyond the human capacity to understand.

My own office did an internal study in the year after the pandemic started and found the reverse. People with home offices started working sooner and got off later. More work got done during the day at home. Employees were generally more productive out of the office. And during moments of crisis (the Feb freeze/blackout and several nasty storms) more people were actually available on short notice than would have been in an office model.

We're still doing partial work-from-home to this day, in fact. It helps with employee retention and is generally better for the company at large.
