Thats a stupid take. Those offices cost money. At least save the money for the office.
What SHOULD happen is DOGE should design parameters for each type of job, gauge the workers be their productivity, and see who is productive and who isn't.
"You're productive remote? You get remote work. Youre productive but only in an office? No remote work for you. You aren't productive? You're fired."

I blame middle management and all of that (((complexity))), if those clowns did their work, or were competent enough to do the job they're supposed to do, or if the company had a proper method to track how much efficient work each employee put in there would be no issues to pay by work rather than paying by time.
For instance, create tasks then the staff assign those tasks, complete them and get paid after someone, not a incompetent mid level boss, but a senior worker has reviewed the work and marked it as completed.
Government jobs are often insanely inefficient due to stupid regulations. These need to be removed altogether, switch to private contractors instead while the companies are tax funded and operate as efficient as any private company. Then the government only need to send out their goons to check so that all these government owned companies is doing their job properly. If they don't, cut funding and hire another company.

It requires a skilled human to assess that. As a programmer, if I were overseeing others, I could very well evaluate how much others do and how difficult it is. An unskilled (random diploma in some nonsense bullshit) manager can't. Idiots would count things like characters typed per hour, amount of uploads (commits) and other things.
This incentivizes people to play a game in order to win. As a programmer, you can do this: You have a function which you split up, and you copy-paste it into 5 versions, each with tiny alterations. You can extract interfaces out of classes needlessly, which adds a lot of lines of code. You can also just produce sloppy code or LLM generated code.
You can become a champion in the company and spend most of your time in playing the game instead of doing quality work.
And you are right, it's a management/leadership problem. It's rotten to the core, and most of it is all about maintaining things and doing essentially nothing. That's why they want to hire pajeet slaves, because they add +1 virtue point and are good at doing nothing.
> Government jobs are often insanely inefficient due to stupid regulations.
You cannot imagine how bad things can get anywhere, if leadership is bad. Those who get rewarded the most are obedient lackeys, and it goes down from the top, affecting the entire company's processes. Government is just naturally the worst, but companies can get close to it and still survive undeservedly. It's actually not *just* about regulations. We are talking about "intellectuals" who are arrogant idiots - the type of people I despise the most.
Considering government workers are about the only ones who still get a pension ( after 20 years sometimes ) yes make them go back. It’s their “service” after all.

Working for a corporation was not so bad in the past but as time went on it became more and more zogged and the levers of control and demoralization became blunter and more obvious.
That's exactly what ended up happening to the company he works for. I keep telling him he needs to leave that job and look for something better or less ZOG'd.

A fire station naturally becomes like a second home or a second family. The work happens when on call and requires lots of cooperation which encourages teamwork, also fully natural. While the station itself has all the amenities of a regular home and is designed as a place to relax.
Office spaces will always fail to create the same sense of "we're a family". Because it's always enforced, often by crazy cat lady who have no clue what it's like to have a loving family and tries to create a fake one through mimicking. It's like a jew going through several plastic surgeries, one can still smell it's a jew, the voice and the signs of the big nose that was once there is all still very noticeable.
Yep. I tried the professional business man office job.
It's dominated by single or divorced women who became cat ladies. They type slow, don't know when to left click or right click, and are technologically illiterate.
When a good job position opens up they almost always hire from outside the org instead of promoting people from within.
You get pigeon holed into a job and if you do it well they don't want to promote you. They want to keep you pigeonholed into the low or mid paying job you're in that you do well.
Cubicles means you have to listen to yapping women on their phones or gossiping with each other all day
The women waste $100 worth of reams of printer paper and toner all day printing stacks of shit that was unnecessary.
The men in this environment are beta, cucked, often been divorce raped, etc. the men have to pick up the slack due to hoards of low productivity fat women who should be home in the kitchen, not in business environment.
Then you have women who prance around in short skirts and high heels at office job as someone's eye candy and secretary or assistant. Just waiting to accuse the ugly guy of sexual assault hoping the married man hits on her instead so she can exploit.
University and local city and State government jobs are easy, very slow paced, and it feels like you get a federal paid holiday every week and an extra 6 weeks paid sick leave and an extra 6 weeks paid vacation on top of that. So it's normal for a state paid government worker to only be at the job 3 days a week after holidays, fake sickness, vacation time, etc

that bathroom situation is the absolute worst. whenever you want to take a piss there’s never-fail some disgusting pig-man in a stall pinching off a rancid goyslop loaf, breathing heavy, grunting, snorting, explosive farting and shitting, the exhaust fan never works, and the automatic air freshener makes everything smell worse. the air freshener and rancid goyslop shit smell permeates your clothes and you smell it all day.
Air freshener is one of the most hilarious standards of modern civilization I can think of. "This room used to smell like shit, but thankfully it now smells like shit and flowers!"
