If I had an employee tell me that they aren't going to work on my terms, simple solution: hit the road, Jack. Don't you come back no more, no more.

Same here, but sometimes that says more about the employer than the employee.

A guy in my industry got fired back in late 2020 — for refusing to stay home from work during the stupid COVID lockdowns. That guy is my hero.

Tomorrow they'll find a job with Google.

The economy is pretty strong even though inflation is pretty high. If you are a highly valued employee, you can get away with working from home or hybrid arrangement for now.

And considering the trend in newspapers is to layoff, this is a dangerous game. Lady I work with, her daughter and son in law both worked for a major newspaper and both were let go in the past two years.

If you don’t have enough talent lined up to replace them, or if you don’t want to spend more money for IT talent, that may not work out very well.

Exactly. We told our people in late 2020, come back to the office or find another job. Guess what, they all came back.

“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!

My wild guess is that you haven’t dealt with unionized employees before.
