Sounds good to me. If governments actually *cared* about affordability they’d at least meet in the middle and start mandating hybrid work. Not only would it reduce the costs for those who could benefit, it’d reduce demand in general, reduce traffic for those who couldn’t directly benefit and reduce air pollution.
But governments just want to seem to care about affordability while funneling money to their corporate pimps so I doubt we’ll see this any time soon.
Yes! Please! I can’t WFH in my job but several people at my office can and I would LOVE if everyone was WFHing. The commute, the parking, the reduced small talk, all better when everyone if doing WFH. I can handle small talk in a day but goddamn do I not need to small talk with a hundred other people. WFH should be the rule that people can opt out of if they feel they must.
18 cent/L Translink fuel tax
8.5 cent/L Provincial fuel tax
29% parking tax
ICBC profit contribution to BC general revenue
$600m Translink funding short fall
The BC gov won’t give up on these tax revenue with the current budget deficits
WFH mitigates so many issues yet our politicians and companies don’t care about affordability, pollution, congestion or mental health.
Yes let’s help some people save money on gas while the rest of us have to still suffer with no relief at the pumps …
Energy lock downs coming soon.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch. May another 10c per litre shine down on you.
This would benefit office workers. Most entry level jobs(minimum wage) will be the most hurt.
Yes. It’s costing a fortune to commute.
Picking between gas and food
I cannot work from home, but it still benefit me if it happen as one of the few thing I love during Covid is the lack of traffic because everyone is working from home.
The crabs in the bucket are strong here.
Everyone knows they do fuck all when they work from home lol.
If gas was too cheap, unions like this would’ve said something like „we need to work from home to reduce emissions and road usage“… just go to work, guys, you’re really not that special.
Nothing gets Reddit excited like the prospect of going back to pretending to “work from home” in their pajamas while watching TV and wanking 16 hours a day
The comments in this thread are why the working class is where it’s at, y’all love to lick the boots of millionaires/billionaires while trashing your neighbours who serve the public. Shame on you.
I’ve had three jobs in the past four years and all of them could have been done from. It was admin work that involved answering emails, putting together invoices and end of month financials. All of it could have been done from home. Instead, I had to commute to an office, where no one talked to each other but instead sent teams chats even though their desk was right not to mine, and I had to sit in an uncomfortable chair.
I mean even [Sri Lanka declared a public holiday for the public service sector](https://share.google/OULcfenmY4K5PvS2m) and recommends WFH.
A developing country like Sri Lanka can do it, why can’t we at least push for WFH?
My concern about work from home in government jobs is that the government is already inefficient with spending money. I don’t trust them to actually look at the amount of work employees are doing and fire the ones that aren’t actual work. Same thing with unionized work places (though I’m worried about unions stopping the firings in that case).
What about the rest of us that have and will continue to drive to work? Fuck me right?
Work from home should be the norm where relevant.
