Jamie Dimon says employees can go work somewhere else if they don't like long commutes into the office, thinks remote work doesn't cut it
Jamie Dimon says employees can go work somewhere else if they don't like long commutes into the office, thinks remote work doesn't cut it
Dimon says he's not opposed to remote work if it works, but "if it doesn't work, I don't mind getting rid of it."
You're viewing a single thread.
Pay people during their commutes, they “clock in” as soon as they get into their cars and “clock out” only when they get home.
That rewards employees for living as far away from the office as possible. Is that a fair thing to do? I seriously don't know.
Not rewards, incentivises, means the employer has a larger labor pool to pick from, which in capitalism is good.
But isn't making commutes longer a bad thing? Especially for the planet? And this is encouraging it.
Decent public transportation can offset this easily
At which point they say, "if we're paying you to sit on the train, you can do some work while you're sitting there."
Then hey, I can get some of my 8 hrs done on the train and only have to sit in the office for 6 hours! Sounds like a win-win to me.
Capitalism in general is bad for the planet
Does it? You are still working the same hours, it's just that you are spending some of those hours driving. I suppose if you like driving more than your actual job? On the other hand, it makes your labor more expensive, and thus you are less competitive if other people happen to work closer. Why pay someone 8 hours of pay for 4 hours of work when you can pay someone 8 hours of pay for 8 hours of work, either because they live next door or they work remotely?
