How many of Us have ever lived?




I've often contemplated this very question.  Where are all the dead people?


Productivity is Up & Employees are Happy



I’ve been saying this from the beginning, management, upper management and C Level people must be shaking in their boots as decades of redundancy and inefficiency come to light under remote working.

People may come back to the plantation but they won’t be happy about it.

All the Blue Jean Fridays, 2% raises, & ping pong tables, won’t make up for the cold dinners, missed recitals, chaotic schedules for doctor and vet appointments, and boorish coworkers.

Of course, there are people who WANT to get back to an office - there always are.
