Yo it's ya boi Jake Rob

And honestly, the Jackie Robinson is fucking awful. Not the infrastructure as much as the drivers though.

JRP baby

For companies, remote worker benefits the companies more than the workers. Because in-office work would require both a high salary plus the costs of the office space. In contrast, a remote worker, even if making the same salary, would still cost the company less.

For city workers, I have concerns with people working for the city, but who at the same time don't live in the city. It doesn't really matter to me if they work remotely as long as they live in the city.

But if they are going to be making decisions that impacts the city, they need to have some skin in the game, in my opinion.

it's an indication that the DOT hires people without any formal education

I did the switch. As much as a recycled number might bring baggage with it, I already had that. I'm petty, I want the optics of a 212.

Cant they just pick cheaper contractors? Or limit the budget so there’s less money for politicians to fill their friend’s pockets?

Remote work will draw NYC salaries down and low wage places up. There will be a national salary for a lot of jobs.

I was at a seminar where companies in low wage areas where complaining they were losing their advantage of low priced workers. The low priced workers demanded higher wages they could get working remote for companies in high cost areas.

Hence, private sector consultants taking on high paying RFPs. They’re not to blame.

They had one Job to do...

Everyone involved in printing, quality control and putting this up should be reprimanded. What a disrespect.

caution hehe

Under capitalism, workers get jobs that pay the best. Government jobs do not pay as well as private jobs. Therefore government jobs are staffed with people who have accepted lower paying jobs, and the reason they accept lower paying jobs is because they're not capable (or don’t want) a better paying job.

Yes!

Geniuses they aren’t 🥸

In person workers need to be paid enough to live in NYC

Remote workers only need to be paid enough to live in Missouri, or maybe the Philippines

What incentive do government employees have? They cant be fired for performing badly, and can’t be rewarded much for performing well. If they spend too much money, they just ask for more money (as opposed to a private company where your execs get fired when expenses get out of hand).

This sounds like a really great idea.

It would nonetheless be a huge mistake for the city to accept this framing. It would be expensive (bad for NYC taxpayers), it would create two tiers of employees, and it would cause remote workers to demand pay parity with in-person workers, ultimately making it even more expensive (even worse for taxpayers). The city should reject the idea that remote work is an employee benefit.

She sounds hideous.

The city doesn’t want those savings.
