It took Wells Fargo 4 days to notice that an employee had died in their cubicle
Denise Prudhomme, 60, was found dead at her cubicle after colleagues reported an odor.
i call my office "the morgue" as i'm routinely the only one from my department on the days i'm in office.
Mine is similar. I mean, there are only desks for 8 folks and 3 offices, but it's me until 8, then maybe the CTO or the president get here and jump into a meeting. 4 of the devs are WFH and only come in for events, but there are 4 of us who come in a few days a week.
opposite here. lots of empty desks. its a ghost town compared to 2 years ago. our group used to be 15 of us on site. now there's only 2 of us left.
See how well this goes over

Got to fill those gas tanks to get to work.
Got to pay for that parking.

Kinda makes you wonder if the system is rigged.
Yeah, with US Bank vacating the US Bank Tower and MODA Health not occupying the MODA Center in downtown, it shows how some of the big names are dealing downtown spaces. Both locations became near empty during the pandemic and many of the folks there didn't want to return, so they have adjusted.Got office space costing us a fortune, so it has to be filled.

US Bank has a large space with PLENTY of free parking in Gresham, but Gresham isn't sexy. The folks who work there love not paying $250/month to park. MODA has a similar setup just south of downtown were they relocated many of the folks from downtown, same deal.
I suspect Amazon is looking to trim some fat and this is a good way to do some "voluntary layoffs"...See how well this goes over

That was the goal of a few shops last year and some worked all too well. It's nice when the folks you want to leave, do. But not so great when folks you wanted to stay, leave.

What's really crazy is they had free breakfast if you were in the office before 8. I usually get in at 6, so I enjoyed a really good breakfast in the cafe. But if you look at the benefits I had as a blue badge in '94 vs what they have now, the lack of free coffee is the least of their concerns.
Might as well put this here:
Check your privacy at the door.
i've been getting the impression some of these large corporations no longer want employees, but indentured servants.
They've just dropped the pretense. I'm sure the incoming administration will do it's best to protect workers rights.
