<p>> The only way radical authoritarians survive on 30% approval ratings is apathy.<p>And voter suppression, vote manipulation, or simply force.<p>I agree with you in that barring the above, there is no logical reason a vast majority of all elections should lean away from MAGA/GOP considering the state of the country.</p>

<p>>This is just disgusting.<p>And this instance is just one of the daily occurances of corruption under the trump regime.  They are robbing us blind, destroying the rule of law, and using the constitution as toilet paper.<p>This will take decades to fix, if it even can be fixed.  I'm less worried about 2028 and much more about 2032 or 2036, when the next GOP POTUS takes over.  Every GOP president is an order of magnitude worse than the previous.</p>

<p>I’ve witnessed it first hand, WAY more work gets done when people WFH than in the office. The constant stop bus, or coffee breaks, or “let’s walk over to the other building for this meeting” taking 10 minutes rather than just opening teams and joining the meeting in time.<p>The WFH team I manage is one of the most capable and hardest working teams I’ve ever been on. You can take that outdated attitude elsewhere, thank you.<p>We collaborate all day long on teams. Various work focused and non work focused chats are constantly happening.</p>

<p>Many workplaces are global. Even when I’m in the office, I’m still on Teams meetings all day long.<p>Your conclusion is exactly my point. People should work on teams that fit their work habits. Where that falls down is when management hires for WFH but then asks those workers to RTO.</p>

<p>First, RTOers can work with other RTOers, right? Or are you suggesting RTOers can’t do their job unless everyone is in the office? Because that is the exact problem I’m describing.<p>Second, if WFHers aren’t available and responsive, they should be put on a PIP and then let go if they don’t improve. WFH is not an excuse to not work. With my team, everyone responds quickly. If they don’t, they don’t last very long.</p>

<p>This right here is the crux of the argument.<p>WFH people want to do work, take meetings, and just overall get things done. Sure they also want to be at home so they can use a 15 min break between meetings to start laundry.<p>RTO people want to do work, take meetings, and overall get things done while there are others around them working.  RTO people need other people around them constantly.<p>This is the conflict. WFHers are happy without forcing RTOers to work in the same manner. RTOers are only happy when they force WFHers into the office.<p>WFHers want to be left alone to do their jobs. RTOers need others to be around them to do their job.</p>

<p>This is really cool.  Old school video game developers were really creative with their usage of technology.<p>Mildly related, in high school back when Power Point was new (yes, dating myself a bit), I used it to create an interactive tour through a historic house in my home town.  Users could click on a door to enter a room, click back to move back, and explore the full house.  It was a wild maze of click areas to numbered slides and I attribute this project to getting me into programming.</p>
