I I want to be stomping all over that in the name of democracy, of course.

I mean, this is just a thinly, like a poorly masked mass firing, essentially. They already laid off like 200 people in April. And I mean, they actually had one recently as well, where at Respawn, they fired the writer of the new legend who just came out like two weeks ago, right before they announced his launch. So I...

This is always a company's attempt at pushing people out so they can save money. They don't actually give a shit if you return the office. They just want to save money, and they just want to have an excuse to let people go. The fact that they said they were slowly phasing out remote jobs is kind of crazy to me that they were just so open about it, but I guess it is EA, so... Who knows?

Maybe they're just shameless about it now. But it's actually really funny because a certain outlet that I was at before also tried to do a return to office within, I think, like so many miles in L.A. But it was like also right after the L.A. fires and everyone was like, no. So, yeah, I think there was there's a lot of companies trying to do that right now.

And it's just a shitty way of saying like, hey, if you don't come here, like we're just we're just going to fire you. We'll let you go.

OK, so I see I see Jug Almighty saying sounds to me that people just got spoiled with this work from home stuff and now feel entitled to it. That feels like a bad take because a lot of work from home, it you it doesn't affect how you do your job. In fact, if you look, productivity has gone up because people have the freedom to take breaks when they can and they don't feel constantly overwhelmed.

scrutinized by people that they work with. And it saves you a lot of time. I spent like an hour in commute, and that could have been an hour I spent editing and getting something out, right? So it's one of those things of like, yes, of course, I do miss, I miss what the old offices kind of felt like, that sort of camaraderie. Yes, that is something that I miss.

But a lot of companies work better remote because you are still able to be just as productive and you are able to communicate with people.

it does suck that you don't maybe get to be as personal with your co-workers but also your co-workers it's fine right so and also work from home allows a lot of people with disabilities to work just as well as anyone else who's able-bodied so i feel like that's something that a lot of people don't take into consideration like yeah if you work from home do some people get lazy sure but the majority of it if you look productivity has gone up so i feel like that's a very

dated take. And I would definitely highly consider how others, maybe not as able-bodied as you can use a work from home, especially with people with families, right? They don't have to take time off to take care of their kids. They can do that in the middle of like, Hey, I'm between meetings. Let me go see if my kid needs anything, or if you need to pick them up, there's an emergency. Great.
