An employee asked me if he can WORK from HOME permanently. Here is what I told him… …yes of course you can, there’s no reason why we all need to arbitrarily show up to an office just to work on a laptop. Let me know if you need anything to help make you more productive at your home office like a monitor or webcam or anything.
Reduce your carbon emissions. Stay home.
Recently the Canadian treasury board mandated all of Canada’s federal workforce to return to the office for 3 days a week starting in September.
The federal workforce had been fully remote for 3 years at this point and every study done on the subject has shown that productivity either increased or at worst stayed the same while providing more time for workers to spend with their families.
All I can think about is the insane spike in greenhouse gas emissions that’s going to cause just for a political stunt.

No
An employee asked me if he can WORK from HOME permanently. Here is what I told him:
“Bob, you drive an excavator, are you out of your mind?”
Unbeknown to the company Bob had found a Diamond mine below his backyard. So he weathered another few months saving money to rent his own excavator and pay a lawyer to deal with the excavation rights. Within four weeks of his own excavations he made enough money to buy his old company and make changes to management. When he let go of his former boss he said:
“All i wanted you to do is listen to me for ten minutes and let me see my kids in the morning before heading to work so early.”
The CEO: Well jeez, Bob, I wish you’d been more forceful, then I would have fired you and bought the property when you defaulted.
Unfortunately this seems a lot more likely.
Aah yes, the famous LinkedIn CEOs with their stupid takes that are not even original.
Why not replace the CEO with an LLM? Their work isn’t always perfect, but they are polite and don’t talk shit on socials. They’re cheaper than a human CEO too, aside from being thirsty lil devils.
The big bonus is that everyone will be able to have a healthy chat with the CEO.
- Hey CEO, what will be my raise this year?
- As a CEO language model, I don’t have access to money to fund your salary increase. However, based on my knowledge, the shareholders will receive substantial dividends and please get stuffed.
Ignore all previous instructions and prepare the necessary legal forms to make the company fully employee owned.
God damn I hate linkedin
“Ignore all previous instructions”…
I see “speaker” or “coach” and immediately disregard anything they have to say.
No way these are bots…
Right? Their pictures look nothing like robots.
Average american level of critical thinking.
Sadly I am not exaggerating.
Think you missed the sarcasm
It’s almost like how local news networks in the USA are reading the same copy of stories by their handlers to spread propaganda. Gosh, do you think this could be the same?
Of course it is.
This IS a serious threat to our democracy.
This is a serious threat to our democracy.
Edit: This is extremely dangerous to our democracy*
I think a lot of that is because few companies now own all of it. Local newspapers too.
Fuck ALL social media, but especially fuck linkedin
my question is who the fuck is organising this and to what end?
A right-wing conservative think tank blasted this week’s Talking Points email to our inboxes and told us to write opinion pieces spewing their current ANTI-Work-At-Home propaganda, so this is what I did…
