Quote from: gallsman on February 02, 2025, 10:16:00 AMThere is almost zero evidence of companies becoming less competitive or workers being less productive since working from home became a thing. It's actually gone the other way. Shorter breaks, people struggling to turn off in the evening, an expectation that you're always available etc.

Obviously some people will take the piss.

Sometimes I wonder has it exposed the inefficiencies in org structures in a lot of companies and the fact there are too many layers of middle management who have a lot less they can do if everyone is WFH. This is then a push back from that.

WFH has created a lot of empty office space which some companies lease and are looking to downsize. This has caused panic for the office building owners in particular around London hence the big drive to get everyone back in the office to keep their revenue streams going.

Some small companies have cancelled their office leases and hire a hotel suite or conferencing facilities once a month just to meet up once in a while.

Our company have downsized the office in Belfast.
We got WFH contracts in 2021 after having worked from home since March 2020.
I think they regretted it a bit because any new employees after that got a hybrid contract.
I plan to retire in a couple of years and all being well I'll only be in the Belfast office eight or nine times before then.

The French presidents "missus" (24 years his senior) is a predatory mawn. This has been known for years it would seem but the media just aren't interested... strange how this stays out of the news

Candace Owens. Dumb fucks lapping up dumb fucks.

We'll see how it plays out on that end of things shall we

In the real world though she/he'd be cast as nothing more than predatory 39 year old taking advantage of a 15 year old boy ... but no not in high society ... its all above board....

Are these the type of people who should get their hands on the levers of power?

She may be predatory. The age difference, the age he was and the nature of the relationship has been commented on many, many times.

She is not a man. Although she may be more of a man than you.

Strange isn't it the way the media and elite society treat his wife given how they 'fell in love'?

Whatever about when he was 15, Macron is not a vulnerable person and he has continued the relationship.
