No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Regarding return to office policy, I hear many speculations and reasons hypothesized. Mostly by employees who don't really know and who had no choice in it.

I would like to know is if there are any lemmings out there who have been involved in these talks.

What was discussed?

How is something like this coordinated amongst others businesses even rivals.

What are the high level factors that have gone into the decision?

Bonus points: is it even possible for employees to prevent or reverse these policies at this point?

Not everyone works in the US,my friend. A lot of people don't have *haha, fuck you plebs" labour laws.

Great so tell me where you live and how enforceable a written note that your job is “remote” would be, and if you would be protected from dismissal when you couldn’t come to terms with your employer about where the work needs to be done.

Don’t know? Can’t bother? Just wanted to take a shot at the US?

I am literally a central European founder and current CEO and have been responsible for human ressource management for up to 150 employees before.

And yes, when I have a named primary workplace" in the work contract the employee can more or less say "haha,go fuck yourself" for a long time - until I have built a case to prove to the court why it impedes my business more than what is fair . Hint: Five years post COVID and none won so far - pacta sunt servanda for the Latin speaking folks here.

And protected from dismissal - almost every employee is. If I want to reduce my headcount of course I can - and I better not be hiring back on the side (then it's very likely age based discrimination). But if I just want Paul Workfomhome gone who has not done anything wrong? Good luck. The court will fuck you right over. Even dismissing someone who actually has done something wrong is quite formalized. Rightfully so.

And yes I wanted to take a shot at the US-centrism a few Lemmyists still have, cause, quite frankly,it's annoying and hidebound.
