The way this usually works out is you loose all the good employees and you’re left with the dregs who were unable to find another remote position in time.
“Carl” is not compatible with the human race.
We need a human recycling center.
Which is funny because I own a Nothing phone and they literally outsourced all of the making of it to other companies.
Chaff
And Nothing is going to fire you if you don’t find a creative way to meet their bullshit attendance metrics.
I love being treated like a gradeschooler. Really boosts my morale, especially with nearly two fucking decades of experience and being on the wrong side of 35.
Stop bothering me and let me do my fucking job, for christ’s sake.
Edit: all that said, the company name does make for an amusing headline
This is an interesting approach from the CEO, in that it demonstrates why unions are mandatory.
I’d meet those rules out of spite, and do a really crappy job while there. They’d essentially be forced to fire me, and I’d consider suing for wrongful termination in not providing a suitable work environment for me to do my job (evidence is my productivity before and after being forced back to the office).
Is there a Lemmy community that focuses on technology, and not things tangentially related to technology companies?
Sounds like you want smart devices, wearables, DIY electronics, home assistant, etc… “Technology” communities are pretty much always about the tech community and not the actual tech itself.
Hey nerds, reply with your lists of cool technology communities.
Guess I won’t be buying the CMF Phone after all.
r/titlegore the fault of the original article
Holy fucking shit what an awful title.
It’s aggressively bad.
they knew
It’s a pun, mildly amusing.
“This is a company for grown-ups”.
Says man who makes phones that sparkle and a fidget spinner earbud case.
Except for manager-level peeps who crave the power and control that comes from dictating how people live their lives under them
I have a hypothesis that anyone who is required to be on site without having to do a hands-on thing (e.g. physical maintenance or repair) is actually a garden hermit, that is, hired to perform as an extra for the pleasure of viewing upper management.
I also have a hypothesis that a lot of company budget and material goes towards handling and pacifying upper management (e.g. the way a binky pacifies an infant) since they are accustomed to being coddled and not accustomed to actually managing.
To be fair, I’ve only been able to observe the relationships between clerical class and management class in a handful of companies, including a small one-store CD-Rom reseller and Bechtel Corporation circa 1990, but my observations have been consistent between them.

They’re Type 1 Bullshit Jobs, aka “Flunkies”
Flunky jobs primarily exist to make someone else look or feel important. Throughout recorded history, rich and powerful people would surround themselves with servants, clients, sycophants, and minions of one sort or another.
This sounds about right to me.
uhhhh…
anyone else totally misinterpret the lede to mean “there’s no reason to go to work at an office” lol?
Yep. Pretty sure the editor knew what they were doing 🙂
It’s like god damn Odysseus and Polyphemus up in here.
Definite “Friday was the name of his horse!” energy here.
He just wants to fire people by making them quit.
Ngl, that’s a genius headline
Yeah I was expecting this to be a thought piece in general about companies requiring them be back in office.
I did a double take when I first read it. Then I realized it was, Nothing, the phone company.
I did not even realize until reading this comment that Nothing was a company.
Fuck me.
Nothing will.
That headline could use some clarification.
At first I thought it was gonna be an opinion piece supporting fully remote work.
Turns out it’s abouy a company named “Nothing”.
Lol, thanks. I would’ve moved on still thinking it was in favor of HO
WOW. I’ve glanced pass this post maybe 3 or 4 times now, would never have guessed.
