In tech many companies are looking to lay off employees to cut costs. Ending remote work is an easy way to accomplish this and not pay severance. I don’t think we’re near the end of companies demanding RTO at corporate level, but at an individual team level it will be hard to change.
I’m at a small branch of my company and different managers have set different expectations for their teams ranging from the corporate mandated 3 days per week to being full remote unless there’s some clear reason to be in office. Thankfully I’m on one of the second type of teams and upper management rarely visits our site to realize that it’s mostly empty still.
This is one of those cases that exemplifies my personal position on the death penalty. The death penalty should only, in my opinion, ever be used for those who have shown themselves to be a continuing danger to society and were in their right mind when the crime occurred.
Since we really don’t have a complete understanding of the origins of some forms of child abuse, I feel these and others whom we cannot “repair” should receive a sentence that sees them permanently locked up. Not just thrown into prison, but to have a requirement put upon them that they participate in studies into the origins of their affliction to better understand it, and hopefully, prevent it in others.
I don’t have an issue with the broad principle of lowering the bar to people with a student visa, but making it automatic is likely going to raise the bar on student visas.
My point is that the US has already given much to Haiti, yet here we are back again with a humanitarian crisis. Sooner or later it’s time to try something different, I don’t want to see those people eat dirt again, but damn it’s time to try something different.
