  • But many companies will keep remote or hybrid work arrangements, largely because they boost profits, economists said.
  • Some view return-to-office mandates as a stealthy way to reduce employee head count.

      My new Aeron arrived two weeks ago. It replaced my 18 year old … Aeron. It has served me well, and needs just 200 in repairs (new pads, new struts, cylinder) so I may give it to my cousin.

      Yeah. Comfy chair, cool lifty desk, sweet river view, floofy cats. I dearly hope we can keep WFBest in our next union contract too.
