They can. It’s called Work From Home.
That’s why they can’t
Corporations: “We will literally do anything to avoid giving our employees dedicated workspace where they can do their job uninterrupted.”
in the key of G “and I sold my soul to the company stoooooooore”
Glad to see someone on the same page. I read the title and immediately thought SAINT PETER DONTCHA CALL ME 'CAUSE I CAN’T GOOOOOOO
Why not cut this slippery slope crap and just go straight to slavery?
they stopped themselves from being literally The Onion just in time
I find it hard to believe he’d just table the idea at that point.
After the employees realise it’s just slaves
Slaves are more expensive since you have to treat them as capital.
Nah, you generally can depreciate capitalized assets /s
Only if they’re regulated. Or if salaried workers have any rights, since you could otherwise just conspire with other companies to push salaries down, ensuring
“free” slavescollaborating individual entrepreneurs are cheaper
“No, no, no, it’s not a company town… it’s a company tower… which is completely different. By the way, did you meet Brian? He’s the new manager of the convenience store the company opened in the lobby. It’s right next to the company elementary school. You can use the company issued script to buy stuff there, it’s great!”
It happens, sometimes, if you’re hiring someone to work in a remote location. Oil rig workers, say.
I get the dystopia but if a company gave me an apartment in the city along with family healthcare where they pay 100% of medical costs. I would take minimum wage.
And your employer would own you. You couldn’t afford to ever tell them “No”.
are you kidding. I would be able to save more than ever before and have an easier time leaving.
Aim a little higher?
I mean to get that I would need to make well over six figures to have all that.
This reminds me of the Onion episode where the staff from two different car manufacturing plants fight for there jobs.
To actually address the question, it’s because commercial buildings don’t (generally) meet residential building code requirements, even if there’s a kitchenette and a shower, etc. They are simply not meant for the same purpose or to be occupied 24/7 unless they were engineered that way from the start, which is exceedingly rare. A lot of office buildings have floor-to-ceiling windows and complex HVAC systems simply to make sure people aren’t cold, breathing stale air, or too humid/dry, so they also use a lot of energy.
Also fire safety, if you have people sleeping in the building you need a much higher level of protection.
No, let them work from home.
That’s the idea.
When the office becomes the home, they are working from home.Do you want your office to be home?
No. I like having two different places for work stuff and not work stuff.
Why not let children live in womb ?
No. They are absolutely desperate to get people to return to office aren’t they?
I’ve said it many times now. The workhouses are coming back.
Abso-fucking-lutely not.
