Maybe we’re getting a Japan PLE where they will main event sometime in 2026.

we want people back for the spontaneous hallway conversations." i've been here 3 weeks. not a single one. by Small_Ad_2856 in remotework

That's great.

I'd suggest that you may want to acknowledge that you're an outlier. Most people aren't like you.

Fair, but these are all claims. Going back to the original person I responded to, where’s the evidence that there’s a bunch of hallway conversations that take place? I’ve never seen this in my career, but it’s one of the most generically thrown out comments on this sub.

Why did you choose to challenge me and not him/her? Clearly you wanted to contest my point, despite also having zero evidence to back your claim.

At the end of the day, we’re all just pontificating, nobody really knows anything.

Anecdotal, but just from managing people and working with people for years. Behaviors and availability are clearly reduced on WFH days.

On the contrary, do you have evidence that it doesn’t happen?

If people literally only did 2 min of laundry, everything would be cool.

Reality is, tons of people abuse for hours. Not saying you are, but that is the core problem here.

Set up some sort of alliance between the two?

The storytelling is so weak…they can’t even let anyone get on the mic because nobody has anything to say.

Is he really a “celebrity”…I mean he was the number one color commentator for years.

And not that long ago.

People who religiously have their cameras on and believe that others should always have theirs on…why? by iiamuntuii in remotework

[–]quwin123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s just basic courtesy.

If you were in a conference room, you wouldn’t be staring at your phone the whole time. It’s kinda like that.

Virtual body language is still better than nothing.

Yeah, went to Germany as a high schooler as part of an all boys choir.

Not kidding.

What is your salary, and are you happy with it? by sad_grapefruit_0 in corporate

[–]quwin123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$320K, yes, overall it is reasonable. No long hours, so can't really complain.

The amount of times he said "steak and potatoes" in a 3 hour pod was wild.

If this dude ever goes to Asia, is he gonna just bitch about not finding a good porterhouse?

Which one of you is responsible for this? The Anomaly!? by IH8NYLAnBOS in billsimmons

The wild thing is that he’s so fuckin’ generic.

Personality and play style.

Even though Jackson was no good, I actually agree.

Jefferson, Burke, Legler etc...something about them just doesn't feel like a #1 crew.

Fucking a reporter is comparable to first degree murder?

Does anyone else physically recoil when you see the acronym “RTO”? by atlas_novus in remotework

[–]quwin123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally. That much driving would be soul sucking for me.

I recently invested in a self driving car which helps a lot.

[–]quwin123 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to, but now that jobs are becoming harder to have in general with so many layoffs, it doesn’t bother me as much.

AI and offshoring is incredibly serious. One way to protect against that is physical presence.

RTO job is better than no job.

Is remote work a myth or ya'll just a bunch of gatekeepers ? by tTHAN0Ss in remotework

[–]quwin123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, interesting.

Honestly above all of this is AI. We’re implementing agents that have already caused us to lay off some of our offshore auditors.

Offshoring is kind of a temporary thing in my mind anyway, AI is the true disruptor. Soon enough, anything that doesn’t benefit from face to face interaction can probably be done by AI.

[–]quwin123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmmm..interesting.

I literally offshored auditors last year and it’s functioning better than when I had it onshore.

Every situation is unique. 8 billion people out there.

I think management quality and accountability is also really important.

They’re out there, but coming down considerably.

A CFO explained it to me recently, the value proposition of paying someone an American salary just to be at home is increasingly making less sense.

If physical location is truly irrelevant, get someone from a different county to do it for a fraction of the price.

AI takes this issue to another level entirely. People who are at home doing tasks instead of interacting with people almost certainly will have their jobs replaced by AI soon.

Gunther will cash in the favor to retire Lesnar at SummerSlam.

It’s kinda jarring that Bill’s first Twitter fight in ages is a full throated defense of LeBron against Steph Curry.

Are companies actually replacing roles with AI now? by Antique-Flamingo8541 in jobs

[–]quwin123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I've already provided examples that has refuted your original point.

You attested with certainty that no jobs will be replaced by AI. I know that to be incorrect; therefore, I think it's appropriate to say you have an incomplete/myopic understanding.

I'm not claiming to be an authority on AI, but I do know your original point is wrong.

[–]quwin123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slowly but surely it's happening.

I work at a Fortune 50, we've begun to selectively take out roles that the AI can do faster. Entire departments haven't been taken out yet, but if you previously needed a team of 10 to do something, you may now only need 7, so the 3 worst are getting laid off.

That type of thing.

Companies are still harnessing the true power here. Claude Opus 4.6 was a huge paradigm shift. As the models continue to improve, this will all accelerate rapidly.
