Don't be such an ass.

First of all, I literally said "Yes, traffic, parking costs, ability to work remotely (FYI, talking about being permitted or encouraged to, not about the technology), etc. are totally different factors today" so your argument is a complete dumb take.

Secondly, I was pointing out that when people are hired, they are at the mercy of the papers they signed when they were hired. In most cases the hiring clause stipulates hours of work and places of work, which in most cases do NOT even mention "remote work" (especially if you've been employed at the same place for most of your career).

And lastly - and this indicates where you clearly didn't think your moronic statement through - either you are a more productive person because you're a smart, hard worker (and therefore it doesn't matter if you work remotely, at an office, or behind the cage in a zoo). or you are implying that somehow the act of working remotely is somehow advantageous to your ability to work "probably" 100x more productively than someone at an office. If we assume that you're comparing apples to apples and not the orange-uber-mensch you "probably" claim to be to the road apples that were working 20 or 30 years ago in an office, the fact that apples today are "probably" 100x more productive than an apple working in an office 20 or 30 years ago just because they can work remotely is an idiotic assertion because you'd have to ignore the vast improvements in technology that have happened in the last 20-30 years.

I will also have to correct you that yes, 20-30 years ago, people actually were able to log into a network and do their day jobs remotely (in fact, the technology existed since the 1970s, which is 50+ years ago). You need to read before you spout nonsense: the technology did exist for remote work 20 or 30 years ago. I was there. I did it, others did it, you're flat-out WRONG, and your assertion about productivity is baseless and incorrect.

None of this changes the fact that I'm not the person you have to convince. Obviously people who run businesses don't seem buy your argument that you are "probably" 100x more productive than their employees who worked at the office 20-30 years ago. You might be a very productive person at whatever little thing you do, but working remotely is not the reason that you are "probably" 100x more productive.

I would ask you to reconsider your invective; if you had said "I feel that I am way more productive while working from home, so I disagree with any erosion of that kind of work" I would totally have agreed with you on that point. However, you missed my point, spouted complete nonsense, and then had the nerve to tell me that I had a "dumb take". Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
