“That’s okay. Pedo Joe is importing millions of replacements who would love have a go to work job.”
Don’t even need those people. If your job can be done entirely from home, it can be done from India.
Yep. One of the complaints is because NYT required 3 days/week in office and would monitor by badge swipes. Not and bad deal, work in office Tues-Thurs and basically get a 3-4 day weekend each week, depending now how you make you plans.
The NY Times is now basically a web site - only a print few copies are sold.
It does take a large staff to run a complex web site. They probably have a truly gigantic server farm - hundreds of web servers, hundreds of app servers, and a huge database. This does require people who know what they’re doing, lots of them.
“If I had an employee tell me that they aren’t going to work on my terms, simple solution: hit the road, Jack.”
There are already SO SO SO many persons who should have been told this by the NY Times. Writers, editors, the lot of them should have been replaced long ago.
I hope these techies shut that paper down. I hope I live to the the NY Times go out of business entirely. I hope I see their former employees selling pencils on the street. And I won’t buy one!
Bad bosses never figured out how to measure folks who were not in the office.
Then they ordered everyone to return to the office.
Most employees worth anything bailed at that point—there are plenty of work at home opportunities out there.
In addition, the cyber security needs of the Times must be massive.
Think of the quantum of hackers and nation-states that would love to wipe out the Times.
Making sure Maureen Dowd’s login ID and password (prolly HaT3KZJ) are secure is the least of their concern.
“”The NY Times is now basically a web site - only a print few copies are sold.””
“”If you were able to recall everyone back to the office, it means your company is less capable than your competitors””
Rush documented the incredible devaluation of the NY Times and the Washington Post. They went from worth billions to, well, much, much less. Bezos saved the Washington Post and made it his play toy. The NY Times has a long history of hiding and fraud. Some of the Pulitzer awards were for USSR lies and more recent economic diatribes that have nothing to do with reality. The people at the NY Times would probably higher Paul Ehrlich today, and bow to his ‘wisdom.’
“Pedo Joe is importing millions of replacements who would love have a go to work job.”
wouldn’t your new IT workers at least need to be able to speak, write, read and understand english? ...
“They probably have a truly gigantic server farm - hundreds of web servers, hundreds of app servers, and a huge database. This does require people who know what they’re doing, lots of them.”
unless this stuff is all hosted on amazon web services, in which case the necessary support staff is MASSIVELY reduced to mostly people who know how to support the application software, and it wouldn’t surprise me that MOST of the application software is either off the shelf, freeware like apache, and/or integrated newspaper suites largely supported by employees of the company that produced the suites ...
They hate when that happens.
But, honestly, hasn’t that happened to all of us every once in a while?
What is a data analyst? I used to be a DBA, and they used programs and SQL to analyze the data. Request for the analysis would come from the users, like salesmen and managers.
Could be. They could also be folks who are just as productive from home, if not more so than they are in an office.For myself, If I was told I had to start coming into the office even one day a week, I'd tell them to piss off and drop their stinking laptop in the mail to them, then go get another job. I'm never going to commute again.
How do you walk out of a place you are not at? That’s a trick I would pay to see.
EC
If you are doing a type of job that can be done from home, the companies that will allow you that option will get the best of the best and the cream of the crop
And the companies that demand you go to physical work so the middle managers can keep their jobs will get the lowest cockroaches
I’m definitely conflicted here. As somebody who works from home, I support their sentiment that they should be able to WFH, too.
On the other hand, it’s the New York Times, so would I REALLY be sorry to see them go???
Their newsroom is mostly a Supreme Soviet of Communists who got an editor fired for allowing a Tom Cotton column on using the military to suppress Antifa riots. I hope they start begging to WFH and get fired for it.
Didn’t the NYT cover up what the Nazis were doing to the Jews?
Today, real news: Jewish students threatened and unsafe on campuses across the country.
Today, NYT: Palestinians dying from starvation in Gaza as Israelis invade?
The real work from home scammers are the Federal “workers” and other government workers. State and county too.
The private sector has ways of making sure that their home workers are producing. The Feds, especially in greater Washingtoooon DC, exert zero discipline on their shirk from home “workers”.
So they’ll “walk out” in protest OF the job,
but won’t walk out to the car and drive TO the job.
Lazy bums!
My wild guess is that you haven’t dealt with unionized employees before.
