[Bloomberg] ‘Grand Theft Auto’ Maker Rockstar Games Asks Workers to Return to Office Five Days a Week

[Zzero]

Remote workers also go in to work, they just do it remotely.

Companies offered remote work when it suited them, and people moved away from offices. Companies agreed with this. Companies are now asking people to commute multiple hours per day (and I'm talking 4 to 6h a day for some I know) because they want them in an office to do the same exact work they would do at home.

Add to that that these same companies also have crunch periods that can get to 12h per day, it's going to be funny seeing people having 18h days and making shit pay.

But again, every single take of yours starts from the principle that all workers are evil and lazy, which just shows how some people love to fight against their own self interests because they are complete assholes or psychopaths. Do you want to go to an office and commute multiple hours? Fine. Do you want to stay home and do the exact same work? That should also be fine.

No one told you to move away from your existing location during covid. As a matter of fact, in most cases they explicitly told you not to and that WFH was only temporary.

Edit: I would say that a fair compromise would be to list a salary as factoring in about an hour of commuting time a day and then just offer a proportionally lower salary for people who WFH. People who work in the office/physical jobs win with additional pay, society wins because at that point there is financial incentive to actively encourage WFH.

I love that you know who told me what when when. I'll help you: I signed a contract addendum stipulating that my location would be remote. An addendum that the company is now trying not to honour. But keep speculating buddy

Save your holier than tho bullshit crybaby. Salaries and wages in cities consider commute. You don’t want to commute or scared to leave home then don’t.

Edit: I’m totally not against WFH either. But depends what you signed up for too.

Ahaha sure they do mate, now you'll teach me about salaries in Ireland, commute times, and rent prices.

Go talk to a mirror, that's what you're suited for.

So you just want people to be miserable huh?

You nailed it, he just wants others to be miserable because he probably is, and projects all that into others with pretend facade. Anyway, he's blocked now, one less asshole to deal with

Nobody's talking about you in specific. Get that chip off your shoulder, pretend-worker.

Satoru’s too scared to actually go to work! Hahahahah. Basic bitch thinks he’s too good now to join everyone else in commutting to work! Hehe.

Then take that pay cut.

Happy to be working 100% from home.
No commute, no disturbance of people around, no hunting for meeting rooms.

More productive, better work life balance, more loyal to the company...

OT: Also GTA6 soon to be finished, RTO usually comes before lay-offs.
