really hope so - my work’s ServiceDesk is based in India and they’re barely functional - nothing gets fixed until the problem gets passed to an American IT person.

so you only use paper money, dont get paid via direct deposit, dont use any modern banking mechanisms like debit cards linked to your bank account?
how do you even function?
its ok to think it, but its not ok to voice it - especially on company time or using a company platform
Obama was so unpopular that he was succeeded by Trump. it may be that Biden will share the same fate
considering his cabinet’s international policy and all…
the same folks that were part of the meat grinder (and are now dead) or other folks?
do Mondragón employees get paid in company scrip too?
an actual career at a real company.
the place I work has tried RTO policies several times now - with very limited success. well over 90% of all white collar jobs can be done from wherever you can get internet so your VPN software will function. the customer facing part of the business has to be there 100% of the time, they dont have a choice, that’s how the business model is designed. I go in a few days a week but honestly dont ever actually need to be there. maybe 2 days a month, tops, is my presence absolutely required.
the really interesting bit, which the article didnt touch on (not much of an article to begin with) is that there is a commercial real-estate bubble. the big buildings in the downtown business district/cores of most cities, that real-estate isnt worth much if there’s no one renting the space. businesses that used to rent the space no longer need to because all of their employees work from home now. the people who invested in those big buildings are not seeing a return on their investments - and they are unhappy. that is, imho, a big driver behind the RTO movement.
2.5 tons of gold doesnt seem like a lot to back the currency of an entire country… so I looked it up. 2.5 tons = 80,000 oz = $186,880,000 (at the moment, gold’s value varies quite a bit).
so the current citizens of country X should be punished for things that their parents/grandparents/etc did? no that’s stupid - and it doesnt work.
