They're gonna sublet or convert the space to condos after the Council passes an Amazon tax.PostGameOrangeSlices said:
The commute for most tech workers in Seattle is like 10 minuteshaie said:
That was the sentiment before this shit happened. Not having a commute means more working hours, people are still producing because, you know, there's evidence that you've done nothing.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Tech is going no where any time soon. Companies still need headquarters. Teams and Zoom calls are going to get really fucking old really fast
Maybe the business/support sides comes back.
Dev isn't.
Amazon didnt just build 10000000000 square feet of office space to let it collect dust. Management there is notoriously micro as well. That place only employs half the fucking work force my age
I don't work in tech, but I am going to shift my workforce to 50% remote as a result of COVID and the West Seattle Bridge shutdown revealing that having a full-service office is a waste of fucking money. Teams and Asana (or Trello, etc) make it easier than ever to manage staff and projects. We will shift to having a "storefront" office with 3 people on-site, and the rest working from home. I might actually miss the ferry commute, though. -
It works for some people and companies. Im doing a hybrid thing now, some days remote and some in the office.BleachedAnusDawg said:

Im a LOT more productive in the office.
I actually prefer the hybrid setup, because the days Im in the office I get everything done and the remote days I coast.
It's easy for managers to tell who is actually producing in an office as well. It's tougher remotely and they have to rely on stalking people with software like Activtrak
I think everyone would be happier with a 4 day workweek and be just as productive in many industries. -
Imagine going into an office each day....
Fuck that.

Or getting “ permission” to work remote

My revolutionary thoughts could have easily led to action if I had to stay at home all fucking day. -
Well stop whining and get used to it. Saves a shitload on overhead. The horse-and-buggy days of thousands of people working at a central location aren’t coming back to previous levels. Zoom stock has been a nice gain the last two months. Sorry you missed out on easy money.ThomasFremont said:
