The benefit is the psychopathic desire to control how other people live their lives
It is truly ridiculous. I have yet to see a tangible empirical case for demanding workers come to the office

Why? Different jobs are different. If you chose to be an electrician or a contractor instead of someone who works primarily on a computer and phone why should you get a special gift in salary (when you already get overtime that most office workers don't get) because you obviously can't work remotely? The city shouldn't be setting wage expectations based on the possibility of sour grapes.

>Remote work will draw NYC salaries down and low wage places up. There will be a national salary for a lot of jobs
You say that as if remote work hasn't been the rule for the past 3 years. This isn't theoretical anymore we've already seen it in action and this didn't happen.

All of this is dumb. Remote and In-Person, should be paid the same…
If you grew up here, you know people that got city jobs and moved to Long Island, NJ, and PA. Because their argument is, cost of living is cheaper, QoL is better for their kids. They’re the original remote workers.
They’re willing to drive back and forth into the city everyday for the salary and the city doesn’t give a fuck to stop it.

If there’s a monetary bonus for in-person work, then remote workers will be paid less.

It's feasible if people suddenly decide enough is enough. Imagine if they spend money converting offices to apartments ( that's not really going to work) but nobody buys or rents an apartment. They are left sitting on property that costs them money. NYC prices are crazy and the knock-on effect hurts house buyers and renters alike. A friend of mine sold his parent's house for around $600,000 back 2003/4. His parents paid $53,000 for it back in the 70s. The houses in my area are going $1.3 million on average. You tell me how a house that is built for less than $53,000 (because builders have to have made a profit on the sale) is now worth $1.3 million and up? The property market is being controlled and bought by companies that don't want the ordinary citizen to be able to buy even a starter home. Ask your grandparents how they were able to buy a house car have holidays etc on one salary. While today both people have to work just to rent a 2 bedroom apartment. And the second bedroom is barely large enough to put bunkbeds in.

Remote workers should not be paid less but that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be a monetary incentive for in-person work.

There should be additional compensation for all who are required to "go in" for work.

No, the louvers are tilted for privacy, both from street level and building windows above.
The loos are also installed in high visibility spots that discourage peeping Toms and loitering.
Idk know about ‘body expulsion’ concerns… but open air dissipates smells quickly and it’s designed to be spray-washed clean.

I’ll kill the person myself if I see him. I don’t care about the consequences. People like this don’t deserve to live

Nah most fare evader are like you and me. Just regular people who have jobs and aren’t in poverty. They just run in while the door is opento save a buck. I do agree with you that the mta needs to stop complaining about us without taking a look in the mirror
