monkeypox is spreading like wildfire in San Francisco. i wonder why
Babble
Beware the Monkey Pox! Watch out for Covid! It's raging again in California, must wear masks and WFH. Be sure to mask your children. Get all children 5 and above shots from biotech companies immune from lawsuits by government decree. Just in time for the elections.
Possible quality of education if they originated or were able to afford CoL in NYC.
Also usually the chances are the candidate is going to pick living in NYC over Boise
Why hire someone in nyc when you can hire same person in boise?
Yes, accurate. In addition, employee compensation is pro-rated, tied to the cost of living where the employee lives.
Translation: employees are not paid based on the value they bring.
Covid19 is raging again. Aint nobody goin' into the office for a while.
Very little reason to go into the office
What is Cisco going to do with all these buildings? Force people back, or close them down? If you visit sometimes a whole floor is an surreal ghost-town.
Does your team have expensive, 100% remote workers?
YES. 100% of my team is remote including the employees who actually live w/in commuting distance to the ALLN, RTP, or SJC campuses.
Even our lab admin WFH and only travels into the office as needed to swap a drive, add or remove a system from a rack, or move a power cord.
A better question is, WHO works from the office any longer other than Safety & Security, the Health center staff, cafe workers and custodial workers?
Still a few left in supply chain ops. Those who know how to game the arcane Oracle ERP system to sp-t out numbers that make the execs happy.
That's rich. Everybody is someone else's remote worker.
- > How is a remote worker "expensive"? The company pays for no space, no electricity, no infrastructure for the remote worker. Wouldn't that be cheaper?
Yes, accurate. In addition, employee compensation is pro-rated, tied to the cost of living where the employee lives. An employee working remotely from, say, Missouri makes less $$ than someone located in San Jose.
Signed, a former employee whose boss was located in SJ, but whose teammates were all over the world.
Someone is salty they’re not good enough to WFH
