    They’re soooo close to understanding.

    Having people stay at this hotel eliminates the commute.

    Remote work eliminates the commute.

    Now, if the company would simply get with it, they could save money both by not having this asinine hotel idea and by not having all the office space.

      I mean its not an absolutely terrible middleground IF EXECUTED PROPERLY.

      If I had a job that could be done remotely but they want us in the office for a few days here and there unless my commute was under an hour each way Id be cool with coming in, working, going and grabbing some food with my coworkers, head back to the on campus FREE hotel have an early night and do my second day with no commute the next morning. It doesnt sound that bad provided that were talking like 1 overnight a fortnight max.

          Its one of those things thats purely in the execution. They could absolutely nail the idea where people look forward to being asked to come into the office.

          But big companies dont like dollars going out for difficult to quantify returns, they will always try to screw down the spend and ratchet up the measurable returns.

          So they fuck it up.

        Hell no I’m not working 2 straight days like that. I need my downtime, I just can’t produce that many hours in a row.

        And I don’t want to have to be social that long in a row.

        If those 2 days were my entire work week and I made fat cash? Maybe
