It’s not that much of a privilege.

You are seriously a piece of entitled work. I have set you to ignore several times but keep reading you out of sheer incredulity. Your envy and resentment of others, for various reasons, is a matter of awe.

And continue to belittle me by telling me I can’t read or think or comprehend. You basically are calling me dumb because you don’t agree with me on most of my views. What a kind, compassionate woke liberal you are.

I will agree that there are plenty of people I feel resentful towards. But not many that i envy. Thanks for your two cents though.

Timberline had a problem with people working from home from the beginning of all this. He thought it was a bad idea. Apparently forcing people to still go in was the option but closing schools was fine. Unbelievable.

NO. I am saying you are not comprehending, either purposefully or not, what I am saying. At all. You are blatantly making things up at worst, or not understanding clearly written statements at best.

For example, you're reading the term "guilt", where it doesn't exist in any shape or form in my statement. If you don't want people critiquing your reading, don't misrepresent what they are saying so that it seems like you don't read well.

It is fairly simple.

Thanks.

I don’t recall that. I recall him saying that face-to-face communication is important. I started telecommuting full time in 2009 and the office was always a long airplane flight away. It’s really hard to be remote. For jobs where you create intellectual property, it’s almost impossible because so much gets done in informal small group environments.

It is an incredibly huge privilege. Please.

And absolutey nothing I have said at any time has ever implied being butt hurt. You keep, at best, just making stuff up.

You don't recall it, because she made it up. I never said any such thing. If she interpreted something I said as it being a "bad idea" its either purposefully distorting something I said or more poor comprehension.

Nope I’m not making it up. You said you don’t see working remotely ending well for many companies and that numbers will come back and be poor and leadership will hate it. Guess what? It doesn’t really matter right now because people’s health is more important and that includes teachers right ?

See. More poor comprehension. That is not saying it is a "bad idea" at all. I don't see it ending well overall, but that has nothing to do with it being a bad idea at all, but rushed and forced implementation causing the metrics to work against it. I explained that quite well. You, again, apparently don't understand.
