@alexlawsonottawa: It's 2026. Why force the commute? It's 2026. A two-hour commute to sit at a workstation you could've sat at in your kitchen doesn't make any sense. Match the job to the setup. That's not complicated. It's common sense. We've got a lot of work to do. Ottawa deserves better. #Ottawa #RemoteWork #Commute #AlexLawson
the only people that want to go to the office are people that hate their home life

It’s wild how many people think adults can’t do their job without direct supervision.

I would estimate anyone that can work remotely from a computer will be replaced by AI soon.

Driving 2hrs in the morning and 2hrs in the evening to a cube farm where people dial in to video conference calls is a waste. Now with 2 parents working. Trying to deal with Schools constantly have half days early dismissal closed schools. Then after school sports etc. it’s hard for parents to keep up. Working from home should not be an issue. Companies can easily track ur productivity and what ur doing with laptop cameras and even AI.

WFH is a feminist issue. Yes, I said it and I’ll stand by it. Women still disproportionately carry unpaid caregiving and domestic labour, so workplace flexibility directly impacts women’s economic independence and participation in the workforce. If a job can be done effectively from home, WFH should absolutely be considered.

I commute 2 hrs as I well and probably don't get paid close to what they do

It’s funny how the companies that are complaining are the ones losing money with people in the office.

And there should be flexibility for parents who have to do pick ups and drop offs, etc. especially if you can work from home and make up time if you need to pick up a child

Can we not renovate old buildings into affordable rental units? it would solve some housing issues and would be good for businesses downtown too. I do not care if someone does their job in an office or at home.

why can’t governments think critically and strategically like this guy? We have technology advancements for a reason. Let’s use them and make life easier for families.

Paying for parking to work is a big NO. If parking fees were reasonable or if we had a tax deduction then ok sure. But paying 20$+ daily. Noooo

it saves the company money having everyone work remote. theres a lot of costs that goes in to operating a building

As long as the work gets done, who cares where it gets done. Employers should leave employees alone and not force them to commute.

Exactly, I’ve worked remotely for 12 yrs now. Thankfully I work for a progressive company that is forward thinking.

Finance here and it's such a waste of time to be in the office. We come in and sit in Teams meetings the whole day so that we can screen share

They prefer working from home so they can work from outside on the deck with a bottle of wine.. Then go shopping before the kids get home from school.
