Working from home will no longer be an option for entitled ‘journalists’ and other employees of The Washington Post. The message has gone out: return to homebase five days a week or resign. The Post is not playing around.

Check out the quote and the post, it can’t get any more to the point than this.
What would you say to a person who does not wish to return to a 5-day a week office schedule? If an employee decides they do not wish to return to work at The Post on a 5-day a week office schedule, we understand and will accept their resignation.
In an internal Q&A shared yesterday with staff, the Washington Post says it will accept the resignation of any employee who does not wish to return to the office five days a week https://t.co/WDuQkDPvad pic.twitter.com/zynXMiaUfx

It’s hard to imagine that many businesses still have Covid-based work from home policies. But, that appears to be the case here. Some are shocked by the news.
Seriously! After 4 and a half years people are still working from home?

Anyone who still thinks they can act like they did during the pandemic should be fired immediately. No more pajamas on the couch at home!

The Washington Post employees must trade their comfy couches at home for their old cubicles at the office. Oh, the humanity!
Damn… Making the workplace REAL AGAIN!!
Check in with the boss, then go out and report… sounds easy enough.
What a concept!

Having to actually show up for work. How novel.

They can go do journalism, but they have to be in the office everyday.

Life must suck for them that they now have to work like everyone else.

Imagine the heads exploding, with blue and purple hair littering the landscape.

It’ll be like piñatas! This edict is not going over well with workers who have been Zooming and phoning it in for years. Owner Jeff Bezos is trying to reintroduce a proper work environment and work ethic.
It’s easy to imagine why.
Bezos is tired of his money losing operation.

SUPER…LOL..this could lead to Bezos shutting the far left WOKE ra’g down

Not so much a shutting down, but more of an attempt to force The Post into becoming an actual newspaper that produces genuine journalism. With what Bezos has to work with that appears to be a fool’s errand. Good luck with that, Jeff! Managers have until February to comply with the new five-day office rules, others have until June.
