    Nothing CEO Carl Pei suggested that those unable to transition from remote working should leave the company and “find an environment where you thrive.”

    Get completely fucked you dismissive shitbag.

    Pei said in the email, telling employees who are worried about flexibility that “this is a company for grown ups.”

    I’ll say it again. Get completely…

    I typically cheer device makers because I want competition to force my preferred device maker to compete on innovation. I had been on the side of Nothing. I now want it to fail. I want this dickfaced asshole executive to find out he ran his company into the ground by pissing off the talented people below him.

    “Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week”

    Yes, you’re right. There isn’t a thing that requires this. You shouldn’t be required to do so.

    The problem with naming a company an idiotic name like “Nothing” is that it’s so easy to make who’s-on-first jokes.

    That headline is rather confusing. Then I realised that “Nothing” is a fricking company.

    Also branding his stuff as Nothing phone/OS/ear is hilarious. Hilariously bad.

    Why would we listen to this fucking tool? He’s literally the CEO of nothing.

        I’ve seen that theory a lot, but I just don’t think it’s actually all that common. Layoffs are layoffs, but the common thing about layoffs is they are usually calculated to cut the worst performing employees and go up from there.

        A forced RTO policy is going to be unpredictable in who stays and who goes

          Even worse, mandatory RTO selects for employees who have no choice but to stay. The talent will bail out.

    My company employer, after covid said “we are considering moving back to a hybrid way of working”. I replied “Well I am considering resigning to go somewhere that is fully remote. I am not the only one”

    And we never had a mandatory return to office mentioned again

    Fair enough, I’ll show up at the office when they pay me for the time I just wasted commuting to the office. It’s my only ”asset” that is truly mine in this day and age.

      Start the clock when you wake up and begin your morning routine. My getting dressed into anything other than pajamas is an exertion above that required to do my job from home. The one-hour commute? The hastily ingested bagel on the train? The running between stops so I don’t miss my next train that’s pulling into the station? All excess. Y’all are paying for that. If I have to show up to the office, I’m docking at least three hours from my day to make up for it.

    ‘This is a company for grown ups’

    And yet you don’t trust your employees to get their work done unless directly before your watchful eye? Get real, chump.

    This right here. This article title. This is why you don’t name your company “Nothing”.

      And when I saw it I had initially thought “Wouldn’t it be funny if someone named their company Nothing and was struggling to push a return to office?”
