This dude can’t talk about laziness he’s got more chins than a Chinese phone book.
The pandemic made it clear to us that our literal lives don’t matter. Record profits have pretty much never made their way into worker’s pockets. Wages have been stagnant against forty years of inflation and record housing costs, while shareholders and C-suites struggle to decide between a private jet or a second yacht. And climate change is coming for all of us. Given all that, why the fuck should we care about some job that has literally never cared about us? Why wouldn’t we get to pursue some work-life balance, and spend what little time and money that are being left to us on something that makes us happy?
Plus the increased work life balance has been proven by studies to be more productive because people working shorter hours and/or from home are more productive then the regular 40 in the office.
“But I can’t recognize it by looking at it so everyone must be lazy” some rich jackass.
Also, a lazy worker at home will be lazy in an office too.
If someone likes to procrastinate, you can’t really change that via environment alone.
Oh no, a crazy world event made people start caring about themselves rather than being the most efficient resource for you, their benevolent employer. Won’t somebody think of the CEO and shareholders?
He just pissed that business travel is still down. Sorry, it’s never going back to the way it was.
Frontier doesn’t fly business. If Frontier is pissed off, it is because it is causing the legacy carriers to muscle in on the vacation traffic his company flies.
I don’t know if “business traveler” is Frontier’s main customer, exactly.
He’s also slightly mad because he now has to compete in a labor market where people can choose between:
A shitty waiting job that has you flying out of town daily, pay is about as much as a gas station clerk, has you dealing with some of the craziest ideologies on the planet because no one respects your authority. High Stress, low reward situation.
Then you have work from home: Right off the bat, you get 2 extra hours back from your daily commute. If you have kids, you are now saving hundreds of dollars monthly on child care. Car care costs go down. Gas costs go down. Less stressful situation, and more mentally stable.
The problem isn’t just that he is having to compete with work from home jobs, but he is now having to compete against the benefits of work from home. And there is only one way to do that: $$$.
Agree with everything except;
If you have kids, you are now saving hundreds of dollars monthly on child care.
Myself and most WFHers know still put our kids in care, you simply can’t work and look after young kids simultaneously unless you only work at night or during naps.
These lazy fucks who “work” for me got a taste of empowerment, and now they want me to do shit like respect their time.
Sounds like something a lazy, entitled, unproductive CEO would say.
He’s in desperate need of a woodchipper accident.
