Perhaps there will be some quality sneers, perhaps not. But in this moment the orange site becomes sentient and asks if the emperor is really wearing clothes

From the comments:

However, they claim that the workers will use that time for leisure instead of working harder, what they term as "productivity leakage".

lmao OH NO leisure time for the fuckin plebes!

I mean I think the commenter has a similar opinion about it, to be fair, but jesus fucking Christ...

Life isn't supposed to be min/maxing like a fucking video game! It's not a video game, it's real people's lives, and they deserve more of that life with the people they love instead of being forced into cubicles and into a lonely, alienated life.

Literally the same shit as during the war against work from home.

Hey look, they are more productive, get their work done faster, don't have to spend 10% of their life commuting, and have more freedom. OUTRAGEOUS!

(Only this time there's no actual productivity boost, but they're still preemptively mad?)

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
