    I think my favorite part of the Amazon RTO is the fact that there are many offices that charge you to park there

      When I worked in an office I had to pay for parking in addition to paying for gas and wear and tear, ALLLLLLLL so I could have the very valuable experience of working in an open concept office that is perpetually loud and distracting

      But yeah… wfh is totally bad for productivity… give me a fucking break

      This is common in dense urban locations; parking is expensive, and getting free parking just for working somewhere is not expected at all.

        If a company expects me to come in multiple times a week to do their work, they should be paying for that time and money by an increase in salary which covers that expense.

        If I can do the same job without incurring that expense, and have been, why should I? All that means is I lose more money from my salary.

          One thing that would nip this ‘return to office’ bullshit in the bud would be paid travel time to the office.

          If they had to pay us for sitting in traffic instead of our paying to go to work their constant mewling would evaporate as they rush to reduce costs and increase productivity by having us WFH

        Uh, maybe, but it is also typical in healthcare and hospitals regardless of their location so your point while technically true is not valid here.

        Source: i worked for 10 years at 4 suburban hospital locations with their own parking lots and i always paid for parking, every. fucking. day.
