Here’s my issue with in-office
I can’t speak for everyone, but this is my take: I don’t need to be in an office to do my job, but I don’t mind BEING in the office. However, I do mind GOING to the office. There is a distinction. At my location, I have to drive to get to the... — read more

The direction is down
I've been watching and I'm convinced. Nothing good is going to happen here anymore. It's all downhill from here. If you have any way to leave, do it now. It's coming. Whatever it is, it's coming.
