I am employed by a company that has invested heavily into technology that allows folks from all over the world to work together seamlessly (albeit riddled with bugs that never get fixed because any P2 issue gets swept under the rug) and has been praising the virtues of "hybrid" work environments. After two years of working from home, I was given the ultimatum that if I was not "compliant" with the vaccine mandate then I would be fired. Even if I decided to forge the documents and take the promotion they are dangling in front of me, it wouldn't be worth it; the campus -that was walking distance from my house- was moved an hours drive from where most of the employees lived. Fuck HP and their kike bullshit. Their products are shit and anyone who buys from them are a fool.

I have a HP laptop that's about 3 years old. Do you have an alternative brand that is good for standard business use and light graphic design? Want best value for money. Don't need a 10k apple pro .

just search "best laptop deals June 2022". read the reviews. should find a few good ones under $1k

Yeah, I have done that, but I thought someone in the know would have some inside information. I hate apple, because of the OS and the price. Don't trust Asus, because I've had them break many times. Not sure about the Chinese brands, as I don't have experience. The HP has served me pretty well, but I'm pretty sure I can get way better for cheaper if I go the Chinese route.

www.tigerdirect.com They resell retail unsold laptops as well as off lease corporate computers. I have bought from them before and got some great deals.

I honestly don't have a clue. I've got a laptop and a tablet by ASUS that -despite their quirks- have served me well. The tablet is a bit under powered but is incredibly robust physically and I used it for my sound tech gigs for about five years with few hiccups. The laptop has an issue where the boot loader gets corrupted if it experiences an unexpected power loss but I believe it's only related to kingston m.3 SSD and it's fixed with a BIOS update. Apart from that I haven't had any issues and I use it for 3D printing and light gaming. My wife has an ASUS laptop as well that she complains about but most of those issues are related to bloatware and windows 10 being windows 10. Hope that helps.

M1 MacBook Pro if you don’t need to game. It’s like $2k.

Remote work is going to fade soon.

[–] [deleted] • 4 pts

No. Nor do you want it to. Only retarded kike supporting boomers want it to end. The kikes HATE and fear it.

Remote work, destroys the real estate kike. For well over a thousand years humanity required the cities, and the parasitic kikes evolved to take advantage of that. With remote work, we no longer need centralized teams, in an office, in a particular city. WFH kills that. It kills it hard. Now they can hire people who are not in san fag, who do not have to worry about local pressure, and who can be paid less.

Remote work destroys the blue states, destroys the cities, and it will undo woke corporate culture. It is here to stay because it removes office over head, utility bills, nigger janitors, and the employees are more productive. It also removes sexual harassment lawsuits because you are not in the office and thots are not there to make up complaints.

None of what you said is true. The economy is built on jobs that are impossible to do while working from home. White collar faggots like yourself are ignorant of reality.

He's right you chump, offices are now optional for most office jobs, so evidently real estate owners are getting rekt in new york for instance, needless to mention retailers, with online shopping, duh. And evidently with inflation and a recession in perspective, companies are going to look at every possible way to cut costs

It really doesn't take a genius to figure that out

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

Now that's some nigger tier thinking right there. No wonder the kikes think they can own you.

Tell me, why would a machine maker go to a factory if he is not paid? Why would an electronic assembler work if he is not paid? How are they going to get their raw materials? Who are they producing for? how does it get shipped? how many should be made? what is a good time frame for shipping those? Hell even prototyping can be done from home now. If you know how to print circuit boards they will throw money at you because chink prototyping takes too long and they suck at it.

You don't need to be in some kike's office for corporate infrastructure anymore. You don't need to be in a nigger cleaned cubical to do forecasting. You don't need to be in person to conduct sales that shit can be done over the phone. Most of that stuff is getting automated, and the people that support that automation don't need to be in an office either.

Here is a black pill: There are art ai's that are now able to do anime style drawings that look like people drew them. The fine arts is being automated, and the computers are doing a better job than the art faggots.

Doubt it. It used to be like 2% of the workforce remote before the pandemic. Then it went to 90% or whatever. Now it's coming back down, but won't go back to 2%. It'll be much higher, 20 or 30% perhaps now cost of living has gone through the roof, housing is crazy, gas is crazy, groceries crazy, urban rule of law went to shit. To top it off everyone has seen what it's like and it's a very real thing now, not some mythical fairy tale like it was. Besides, remote hirers before used to look for people with experience working remote so that they know they can handle it. Now everybody has that experience.

Boomers want to have everyone commute to the office again of course, but that only works for peasants. People who are the top workers of their field always have their pick, and they're picking the smart choice which is remote. I think going forward there will be a class of elite specialized workers who do only remote, while mediocre workers have to commute, and of course the people who want to suck cocks all the way to C-suite level will be coming in to establish presence.

Which is also why it's retarded that people say WFH makes you replaceable. The people who get to WFH are generally the top workers. They couldn't be replaced by domestic workers let alone some 3rd world idiot who couldn't even get an H1B. If they could replace you, they'd threaten to do so unless you come in to the office.

If the WFH people were replaceable, then the jobs would have been offshored to poo land. The problem is that the IT shortage is so bad that now poo companies are giving quarterly retention bonuses. International labor shortage.

I don't think it makes you replaceable, but I think it makes you hard to promote. It doesn't make you hard to pay, though. Depends on what you want.

I guess he means everyone except the people that maintain the servers that he will use to work from home. And the people that manufacture the servers. And the people that mine the raw materials need to manufacture the servers. And the people who transport these materials to manufacturing hubs. And all the telecom workers who live in the field, constantly building, repairing, and upgrading the infrastructure. Or anybody that grows the food he buys. What about the guy that services the refrigeration equipment used when transporting the food, will he work from home too?

On a long enough timeline, all business gets run by a consolidated group of money-men.

Those at the top, are there to optimize the acquisition of capital.

Those are the bottom, spin in an apparently endless hamster wheel of trying to use technology for other purposes (ie, manipulate, falsify, whatever).

Winston's job at the Ministry of Truth, was to slowly erode the reality of our past, and replace it with a new one.
