All I am saying is that IF your employer doesn't agree with working from home then the only thing you can do is comply or quit and find another job.

You also said it shouldn’t be the new normal for reasons, despite the fact that you have no stake in the game. Working from home makes for a far better lifestyle, so we should push to allow it more often and in more cases.

What geek is saying is that he is a nineteenth century throwback and opposes any hint of workers rights and will vote for the interests of the wealthy and powerful every time. That Texas law is hostile to human rights is a-okay with geek.

Yes you are correct. You Can demand anything. Poor wording on my part.

Woke smoke or whatever you want to call it. I don't care. These workers that feel they should be allowed to WFH are pampered little children and think the employer should allow them to do whatever they want.

In this case I agree with Musk and Netflix.
It's pretty sick how conservatives can basically admit openly how they misuse language to spread misinformation. Just horrific

It is obvious many of you think that working from home should be the new normal and myself and many others disagree.

Woke or pampered or spoiled "patriotic" whatever words you would like to call it I don't care. I think many companies will come to their senses sooner or later. It doesn't effect me one little bit as I work at home everyday. I retired in May on my non-union company funded pension.

:p
I can do 99.9% of what I do remotely, at the same rate or faster than in a cubicle. Why should I waste mine and everyone else's time, effort, money, and pollute the atmosphere driving to another building to do my job?

Because that is the way geek did it, dang nabbit! Also, you should have no say in the terms of your employment.

You are, unsurprisingly, completely out of touch with the modern tech industry.

Let me put this into a metaphor you will understand.

You coming in here and stating working from is a “woke” demand is essentially the same thing as you coming in here and calling the magazine for a 1911 a “clip”.

It says you have a superficial and wrong understanding of the topic likely picked up from mainstream media and entertainment.

The term “woke” describes someone who is awake to the structural racism in this country.

it has nothing to do wfh or other non-racial labor demands.

It's just like conservatives use CRT completely incorrectly to change the narrative and create an imaginary bogey man. Their intentions are always completely based in bad intentions.

I have no problem if your employer allows it, great for you.

Many seem to have missed this point somewhere.
Man it’s like someone never heard of organized labor.

I hope your pension is fully funded and your company isn’t taken over by a hedge fund so it can rape your pension fund. Because that is true capitalism.

Poor comparison. This below is high school. What is CRT to you? Even without the underlined, the bold in first paragraph is obvious; they think history alone is not enough now, so they want the gist of the CRT theory (i.e. only teach the theory that black-white gaps in the present is caused by "whiteness"/white supremacy), and all of the terms that "anti-racists" love as part of the curriculum.


Course Overview:
Ethnic Studies is a one‐semester course that investigates the local and national struggles
confronted by communities of color throughout history. It introduces students to foundational
concepts and methods for studying the impact race and ethnicity have had and continue to
have on the people and systems of the United States.
Students study history, literature, music
and art through a sociological lens for the purpose of having students develop their own
informed framework for interpreting struggle and inequality. The goal is for students to
identify and understand why social inequalities in the U.S. persist and how these inequalities
are distributed across racial lines.
The emphasis will be on Native‐Americans, Latinx
Americans, African‐Americans, and Asian/Pacific Islander Americans, but other groups are also
discussed.

"The first unit in this course introduces students to Critical Race Theory and how this concept and
framework will be used to assess and analyze historical and current events, systems, laws and policies.
Students will learn apply different perspectives, or lenses, when researching and discussing issues,
which include race and racism, oppression, popular resistance and response to oppressive laws and
practices. Students will learn that Ethnic Studies was an outgrowth of the social movements of the
1960's, and that Ethnic Studies emphasizes a multitude of experiences and perspectives in history. "

Whatever you do, do not use critical thinking. That shit upsets traditions.

Learning why things are the way they are is often less important than learning how to survive when the oligarchs have their boots on your neck.

So, pretend to get educated and go learn boring names and dates that don't matter. That way you can go push some buttons to make your oligarch owner richer, at the lowest legal wage the oligarch has legislated. If you do it long enough, they may lighten their step on your neck.

So what is wrong with teaching about historical events and systems and laws and policies that were racist and oppressive. Are you saying this didn't and doesn't happen in America? Wait, are you trying to suppress the teaching of reality? And you are proud of it. Sick.

Critical Race Theory is not what most of yousick conservatives say is. Nothing you posted changes that. Even though it's a graduate level legal theory course, it can be generally interpreted as simply teaching about issues from our past that are still affecting us now. See an interview with the co-creator of CRT, she starts at 2 minutes. You can watch the first two minutes to see sick and horrible Conservatives spread the propaganda of what CRT is.

I remember you now. You are one of the most racist posters here.

I didn't say that and you know it. I said you don't have the right to demand to WFH.

I don't have the right to demand...what now? Are you saying I have no right to demand__a thing__?

The fuck did you come from?

(I encourage you to reread what you typed. You missed something. And no, this isn't yet another "gotcha!" for you; you literally typed something very stupid without actually considering what you said...I know, not a new thing. But I fundamentally believe that this time, you actually don't understand what you said, because it is pretty much the exact opposite of everything you do crow about, and rather consistently, I would say)

I think I'm safe my pension fund is over 100% funded, I get a statement every year of the status. Robert Bosch has been fine since it began in 1886. It is a GmbH (Private LLC). Total assets of near 98 Billion Euros in 2021.
