yeah seems pretty clear at this point that companies are going to have to get on board with wfh or lose their people to ones that are

I'm also just going to say: fuck Teslas.

meta mandated a return to work a month or two back and ... nobody came in. i am like the only person on my floor. it's spooky but super productive!

I still think this might largely be the case, but it seems less so with each passing month. I keep hearing from friends that their wfh/remote options are either being rescinded entirely or severely reduced. In lots of markets it seems like the landlords and business park owners are whining about lost income in the right ears or something.

I have a buddy that works for Apple and he reports that their mandated return to work is really, really unpopular

And they're losing prospective staff to companies that are more flexible

Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 1 June 2022 16:37 (one year ago) link

theyre def trying i just think mid-long term that offering wfh will be such an advantage that eventually everyone will get on board, not to mention that theyll save on office space, rn theyre all locked in to leases but eventually thatll play out, who knows maybe some of that office space can be converted to housing

lmao @ "Tesla's success is due to me sleeping on the floor" in the wake of all these "Elon was a shitty programmer and everything he did had to be redone" stories

frogbs, Wednesday, 1 June 2022 16:52 (one year ago) link

He didn't make any coding mistakes when he was sleeping, though.

Halfway there but for you, Wednesday, 1 June 2022 16:55 (one year ago) link

i didnt know he even claimed to be a programmer thought it was more mechanical engineer, just saw a guy on twitter say elon asked him how to run a python script lol which i mean he couldve easily googled it

lag∞n, Wednesday, 1 June 2022 17:09 (one year ago) link

i think his BS degree isn't doesn't stand for Bachelor's in Science

Gymnopédie Pablo (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 1 June 2022 17:19 (one year ago) link

huh just physics and economics i guess

Two years later, he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1997 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in physics and a Bachelor of Science degree in economics from the Wharton School.

meaning he is a robot who nightly executes a script to set himself to low power mode

maf you one two (maffew12), Wednesday, 1 June 2022 18:21 (one year ago) link

yeah idk why people represent him as an engineer or having present-day programming knowledge, he was in the web 1.0 years with a group making online yellow pages type of crap and selling those off for a couple years before starting one of the paypal predecessors, and by that point he was already the financial backer

I imagine that there are some percentage of competent, rational people in positions of authority at Tesla, and they are doing their damnedest to run things normally despite having a despotic CEO operating by whim. I see the WFH thing same as the Pride thing, you maintain sane policies and just sort of cross your fingers and hope he moves on to another shiny object before he actually take any actions behind his pronouncements and tweets. All that being said, the cultishness and sketchiness of Tesla probably mean that the ratio of competence and rationality is lower than in other comparable companies.

Musks are the reason oligarchs need a Putin. Don’t worry, we’re making one now, but he is still currently a low-level (fascist) bureaucrat/officer right now.

For all of Trump’s bullshit, he cannot Putin, he’s yeltsin and will need an out/rescue.

"Super bad"

Musk feels 'super bad' about economy, needs to cut 10% of Tesla jobs

But but the humanoid robot rollout is only months away!!!!! He should be hiring!!

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords

The message, sent on Thursday and titled "pause all hiring worldwide", came two days after the billionaire told staff to return to the workplace or leave

Just leave already, the robots will build each other and work 150 hours a week and they don't even care if the plant is racist

id bet theyre not even actually working on it its just end stage musk hype, hes run out of things to hype up, you can only say full self driving is two years away for so long before people lose interest

yeah he's like an inexplicably popular hacky af sci-fi author now

Wish these creepy, terminally online Musk stans got into like, Asimov, instead.

saw a thread on twitter where someone posted screens of musk critical threads on various nerd sites reddit etc they said the stans are still around but the tide seems to have turned against him

lag∞n, Friday, 3 June 2022 17:27 (one year ago) link

well he's dicking around with twitter instead of space stations, of course they're gonna start drifting away

suspect also the hard right political turn prob didnt sit that well with a lot of people xp

lag∞n, Friday, 3 June 2022 17:32 (one year ago) link

his name was brought up at the record store the other day and the responses were "I am so fucking sick of hearing about that whiny idiot" and "I hope his rocket blows up with him inside" which is uh not how people were talking about him a couple years ago

frogbs, Friday, 3 June 2022 17:34 (one year ago) link

xp
yeah I imagine a lot of his core stans are the kind of people who bristle at everything being "political"

rob, Friday, 3 June 2022 17:34 (one year ago) link

he shouldve stayed in his lane, how unfortunate
