It’s also a roundabout way for him to cut more people. Someone I knew was part of the first Elon-offs… they actually have until the end of the year and are excited about looking for something new.

This came up in a Teams chat when were were talking about the company giving us a gym membership reimbursement.
“I wish they gave us a home internet reimbursement.”
My reply?
“Well, you can come into the office for free internet.:”
That shut down the conversation pretty quickly.
Now, granted, the company probably should give us some reimbursement for the costs of working remote, but at the same time, I think the benefit of WFH outweighs those costs… and let’s be real, we were going to be paying for high speed internet anyways.
