Time to start looking! WFH employers are poaching employees all day and night.

Where is a good place to look? I keep looking on indeed and LinkedIn but remote positions are rare for what I want in pay.
I applied to over 100 remote positions before finally throwing in the towel and taking a hybrid position. There’s a finite amount of remote employers and they are unbelievably picky as a result.
what we need is a pizza party every 6 months! that will make the whiny removed shut the fuck up!

And the immediate concern is about what it can cost the economy. Not the social impacts regarding family, friends, and society as a whole but the economy.
Slowly but surelly over the last couple of decades the political discourse moved from “best for people” to “best for money”.
By now politics isn’t about doing what’s best for people anymore (it’s what’s best for “The Economy” or for “Businesses”) though we get thrown a few never really fullfilled promises (almost exactly like modern marketing, even using Focus Groups to find out what are the things to say which will have the most positive reaction from the public).
And just like when companies successfully shift to a Marketing-heavy strategy, for Political Parties too the quality of their product - policies - went down as they shifted to marketing as a way to keep their “consumers” - i.e. voters - “buying” their product, and the price - in terms of how much wealth they’re extracting from the broader society for their leaders and their paymasters and how little they leave for everybody else - has gone up.
Unsurprisingly, by now more and more of people are getting dissatisfied even if most don’t quite get it how they got there.
It kind of makes sense to put it that way. Presumably, workers being unhappy might make some sense if it was a tradeoff between productivity and work-life balance.
But no, it’s bad for both social effects and economic effects
If people stopped working for employers and started working to improve the lives of family, friends, and society, the economy would crumble.
Oh no. Would someone please think of the economy…
Imaginary numbers go up boss get rich
Imaginary numbers go down I lose job boss get rich
Maybe if they’re so important to the economy, they should be paid more.
Middle managers: So, Hawaiian shirt day or pizza party? (Not both)
“Employees aren’t experiencing highs or lows — instead, they are expressing a sense of resignation or even apathy,”
Have these people never seen Office Space? All of this is completely normal. Workers don’t like working. That’s why it’s called “work.” FFS Futurama made a poster about it.
“I don’t hear as many people saying ‘I want to make more money’ or ‘I want to climb the corporate ladder.’ Now, it’s ‘I want to feel more connected to my work,’ and ‘I want to be excited about what I’m doing.’”
That’s funny because all I hear “I want to make more money.”
These people are living in an alternate reality. That’s the only explanation. Nobody could be this aloof.
I’m on my third edit now, JFC these people are dumb:
New Gallup research shows that remote employees, in particular, feel increasingly disconnected from their workplaces’ mission and purpose.
That’s the point! I love being disconnected from work! I don’t care about the mission, just the money! I used to care about the mission, but that didn’t pay the damn bills. You think I’m here because I want to be?
“It’s all about creating an environment of belonging, hearing and being understood,” she says. “You don’t need to fix everyone’s problems in a day — even aiming to have one meaningful conversation or check-in with the people you manage, once a week, can make a huge difference.”
That’s it managers, just do one nice thing a week. That’s all you need to do.
I enjoy what I do.
What I don’t enjoy is being forced to drive 40 minutes to the office to do work I could do from home just to drive 40 minutes back to the house.And all to not get paid for that commute as well.
I’ve told 3 previous managers that “I like the work I do, bit the job part gets pretty frustrating”
And since the pandemic with people working from home more the whole work/life balance is gone.
When the asteroid comes to wipe out the entire earth’s species again, I’m sure we’ll be worrying about the economy then too.
We’re making our own asteroid, have you been paying attention to anything climate related?
