  • I suppose employee value is for any given company to decide. Companies that determine there is value in having employees onsite, and as we know there are plenty of them out there, may place more value on their in-office employees–even if they allow certain positions to be remote.

    From what I’ve seen many remote advocates don’t want to discuss the extra benefits they receive from working remotely as compared with their in-office peers, but it’s true nonetheless.

    I say all this not because I’m anti-WFH, but because I advocate equal compensation for all employees. Folks who expect equal pay while also having zero or reduced commute burden are thinking only of themselves as I see it. Commuting is a pain in the ass, the costs are always rising, and it’s been a problem that employers have passed on to workers for entirely too long. So as long as employees find ways like WFH to mitigate the problem, all employees should benefit in some way. Fair is fair for all, not just some.












  • Agreed. I’m a veteran,I had a lower security clearance, and I can attest that the sheer number of times the government warns about the consequences relating to classified materials is very high. There is no question that a military member handling things as Trump did would be locked away quickly and for the long haul.

    Still I hold out hope that 45 will face the consequences he’s due without pardon. Otherwise it would be setting a dangerous precedent for national security, and I can’t think of anything the government holds more dearly than that. Letting 45 off the hook is effectively saying they value him more than national security, no?
