Which just shows that the same people are exploited everywhere, and that the USA takes advantage of those same people twice when they outsource to nations without worker protection laws AND screwing American workers by refusing to hire them (no, it's not "nobody wants to work in America", and no, it's not "the skills don't exist here", though some of the latter may have merit, but was a direct consequence of companies deciding to pursue cheaper employment outside the US).
I’ll throw a wrench into that just a bit. Some “self entitlement” is good. There are a lot of people out there who are entitled to better compensation than what they are getting because they don’t know their own value in the work place. I have managed a few and for some right out of school I have also pointed this out to them with the caveat “I won’t do this again.”
That's fine. The thing is, you made a lot of absolute statements and didn't follow them with any evidence. Since you're speaking from personal experience, that means it is anecdotal. Your experience does not act as a model to judge all other situations. That's why I reacted as I did (and because the phrases seemed to be very much like a copy/paste of other promotions of working in offices, such as the Apple statement, so it was a red flag to me).
Maybe. But I doubt anybody here is in a position to make that determination.
You might be dealing with a selection bias here; if your coworkers are all in a similar line of work and socioeconomic status, your responses to this situation might also be similar. You asked if you were a rarity for a list of things that sounded like privilege to me (I'm not disparaging you; I'm saying that you probably are in a much better situation than most employees throughout the whole world of office work).
Speaking as someone who’s done a bit of chip design the first phases of it are all in software simulation which can totally be done at home. By the time you get to actual chip testing you’re all masked up and in a clean room anyway so I would hope most of these folks stayed in the office anyway 😁. Can’t speak to larger systems integration tho.
Everyone? Isn't it possible that there are people who hate their office experience for entirely valid reasons?
Wait wait wait. You said "the government work from home are one of the most abused work situations during Covid" and then you proceeded to describe a HOSPITAL's problem with IT people. Are you outside the US and talking about a government hospital? In the USA, I am unaware of government hospitals. Pretty sure we don't have those anymore.
Indeed. Kary Mullis, inventor of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, off of which the standard covid-19 tests have been based, had the idea come to him while driving.
I’d create a tiered pay plan remote work low, show up high. In 3 years I’d get rid of the low ones.
I think they need to open the flood gates and over hire for a few years and run off the lazy bums
This fits. I’ve not done it for a decade or so but the chip simulation is not light computation. Not only are you seeing if the chip runs but you are measuring the thermals and voltage at all the junctures. And I can only imagine it has become more sophisticated.
