This isn't White People Twitter, it's hedge fund loser tries to connect with humanity but comes off looking like an asshole.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There is no way this is true.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. I want the name of the hedge fund. It's not like it being secret will help; they've already given away the strategy. No name, no game; bullshit.

Probably written by some C level extrovert whose panties are in a twist because he doesn't see "butts in seats." It's so sad to not be able to roam around your office space lording your position over the peons, boo hoo.

Let's examine the stupidity.

Let's assume that OP's assertion that the time and day of the photos is accurate (and who would be shocked to find out it's bullshit?). Could the people in the photo not be non-remote workers who work evening or night shifts? Restaurant workers for businesses that close between lunch and dinner? People on personal leave or vacation? People who are retired? All of the above? Not every Red-Blooded, Hard-Working American™ has a literal 9-5. Hell they could be stay at home parents taking time for themselves while the kids are in school. Don't you conservatives love families with stay at home parents?

And even if every single one of those people work remote, does that mean they're playing hooky? Could they not be on a scheduled break and using that time to enjoy the park? Could they not have flexible schedules that allow them to break up their day into productive chunks with a midday gap? Maybe they work business with overseas companies, so they live on Japanese time. Could they not also be on leave? Working odd shifts?

The point is you don't know, at all, the situation of any single person in these photographs and you have projected a meaning into it that fits an agenda you are pushing. Your assertion without evidence can be rejected and ignored as easily as it was made. Kindly fuck off back to your hole.

It's laughable that the hedgefund bros actually think they are "working". These people sunbathing, likely commit much more labor than these dick bags ragging on them.

As someone else asked: OP, do you really believe this content?

Aside from how horrible and shortsighted this reasoning is, I also need to ask:

If a stranger asked you who you work for, would you answer?

[–] [email protected] 61 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Me? I just thought it was an obvious joke. The person who posted it is clearly not making a serious claim of more that 700% profit in a year. It's just some light teasing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

There's a ton of "guilty conscience needs no accuser" work from home folks in these comments who had this go way over their heads.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

It is an obvious joke, I thought it was funny and didn't realize this was going to be so controversial until I looked at the comments

And what fucking analyst is walking around asking people sunbathing questions themselves?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I get told to go away, or worse, whenever I approach sunbathing women.

"Leave me alone!"

"Stop taking pictures!"

People are just so rude these days.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Have you tried reminding them that there's no expectation of privacy in public spaces? I'm sure they'd be much more understanding then.

/s since we're being very literal in the comments today

I work a minimum of 24h across a typical Saturday and Sunday to get that Tuesday off.

I wonder about the assertion that these are WFHers and not a bunch of useless middle management and above types with nothing better to be doing.

Plus, BS jobs aren't a new phenomenon. There's no shortage of people whose jobs comprise maybe 2 hours of actual work a day, and the other 30 hours are basically just done for looks/tradition. WFH allows everyone to give the 40 hr desk-sitting tradition a five finger salute and everyone's happy; the work gets done, and the worker doesn't have to spend 3/4 of their time twiddling their thumbs. Plus, the business doesn't need as large of an office.

There is undoubtedly a significant overlap between the two.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Well obviously it couldn’t be the job creators, they’re busy creating jobs \so

"But we're paying for it!!"

Have you tried not paying for it?

Who the fuck listens to blue check marks on X?

Like, OP do you actually believe this shit?

If some 80s gogo Reaganaunt knew "one simple trick" to put profits up 7x he's sure as fuck not telling a single soul.

But this is the stupid shit they'd do if they had a financial incentive to push return to office, like long term investments in corporate real estate...

lemmy poster is one of the most prolific poster of good content on lemmy. No idea about actual op

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's a joke, man. Ever heard of satire?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Satire involves actually being funny and criticizing stupidity. "Hurr hurr lazy" is neither.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

You do realise this is being posted to make fun of Zac and Chris, and not the people in the park, right?

So many discounts on those investment funds for office real estate nowadays, you can tell they're trying to attract the naive and uninformed.

I often have a lot of time where nothing needs doing and there's no meetings. The idea you always have to be working and creating is dumb as it means you always overwork everyone and miss targets. It's better to have people standing by a % of the time than to be unable to perform when needed. It's the entire concept of IT as well.

The businesses can fail if it means I can lay in the sun on a tuesday afternoon
