@nowtoronto: Following a #RTO trend, #Ontario Premier #DougFord government is the latest to announce that provincial employees will be back at their desks full-time by next year, but the decision is causing a wave of criticism online. Read more at nowtoronto.com.

Me :

Every single study ever done shows a flexible work schedule and a four day work week is the most productive

Joe :

yeah, maybe for older generations. millennials want to put their heads down and get their work done. skip all the watercooler talk and pointless meetings. get the work done in 6 hours instead of 8 and have 2 extra hours of your day. plus no commute. its a win win.

Laura :

Going back to work full-time could boost local businesses and bring back that city vibe we all miss so much.

Taylor :

companies don't pay enough for the wear n tear on the cars, GAS, my commute time. etc.

SonicDude007 :

100 years ago we burned whale 🐳 oil so times change and offices are for dinosaurs 🦕 we are in a high technology society. The technology for remote office workers has been around for 30 years. Covid and lockdowns just proved how well it works and how useless office spaces are now.

kingolove123 :

Older people need too leave out of leadership in replace them with younger people, that includes government jobs, mayor and etc

Surviving Violence🇨🇦 :

maybe Doug Ford would be more productive if he actually showed up to work, because he seems to be taking off more time and being more unproductive than anyone with a workplace accommodation for work from home

joevfollowme :

People at home do Their jobs in half the time and relax the rest of the day. They will soon realize they can use one worker to do two jabs and that’s still a full days work. Half the workers will be laid off. Tons of savings.

NOT IN A CULT :

I listen to zooms in the cubicle next to me, and everyone on the zoom is within 10 ft of each other. It’s about control.

Janet Joy 🇨🇦 :

Absentee Ford: Doug Ford had third-worst attendance, missed 53% of 2014 city council votes Ford, the first-term councillor for Ward 2 (Etobicoke North), was absent for 30% of the 7,813 total votes during Rob Ford’s mayoralty. Premier Doug Ford has missed 61% of question periods since December, says NDP By Travis Dhanraj Global News Posted March 8, 2019

Nanook 🇨🇦 :

I have clients who come to their appt with a zoom meeting playing, or they come at 2pm, getting groceries after but when I ask if they are off today “no” lol

TorontO :

RonStar45 :

Hybrid is the way to go!

Freddyboy :

PSAC won’t stand for this. They didn’t last year and Douggie boy has another thing coming. That’s why they are unionized. Watch the strikes will be coming around January when he thinks he can force people to work in office 5 days a week. No data to support why. We have the technology and workflow is better now

Mike Hunt :

You all realize what he is actually trying to do right? He is trying to cause more gridlock on the highways into Toronto to push his highway project agenda as the solution.

Selena Graham :

Absolutey.

Elle :

How does does he know? Lol

sayingit :

Canadian version of Trump = Dough Ford and likes

Dalenaxoxo :

yeah!!! its all about the real estate!!! I cant stand him !!!

corinnegonzalez87 :

completely unjustified

Rantonio1 :

He's right!

Swervin Ervin :

2 historic rulings in B.C.Supreme Court and a judicial review of the Separatists movement both sided with Treaty and Indigenous title to the land...that just clashed big time with Bill C-5...big time

ppphhhaaakkk :

he's right,but i enjoy wfh too because i need to play video games uninterrupted. at night there're kids screaming so i have to do it during the day!

Taylor :

the amount of meeting I still have over the phone or virtually because executives dont come in or I work with international clients - I could do it from home. if you can't mentor over tech in 2025 maybe it's time you move over

SmushedHam :

It’s hypocrisy. The government is “modernizing and innovative”. The government wants them to have “work-life balance”. The gov’t is bowing to the rich.
