Vic How would you rate Daniel Andrews' performance as Victorian Premier? - Part 7

I corrected that BEFORE you posted above!!

I quoted that before you corrected it.

I was getting at the potential losses the landlords would incur in the value of the buildings based on reduced rentals, not the building managers who run the buildings for profit.

So you don't care if they waste money, but do care if they lose money.

Do you not realise the two things are connected? If that wasted money was put to good use, the buildings would be worth more.

LOL. Prove it

Who wastes more money? Landlords or the state government?

You know I can see the edit history of posts yeah?

That’s why I am 100% confident

You know who else is confident? Dan Andrews.

You share a common trait it seems. You are the Dan Andrews of BF LNP shrills.

Some are returning 100%, but not all. My mate who works at the nab was told last year he's perma WFH (was in docklands before)

My work is perma WFH our Brisbane and Adel staff as we already have closed all of those offices.

My company has told everyone back in the office 7th of April, if you want to keep your job you are expected to be in the office. I work for a major world wide shipping line.

My wife's was similar - it's all over the shop

Doesn't bother me, i have been in the office as soon as i was allowed. Everyone looks at it differently, i don't want my home also to be my office. Quite a few were i work are not happy about it.

I don’t know what’s more offensive. Being called a shrill or being likened to Dan? Nah. The latter is just downright offensive.

The only thing I have in common with Dan is that we both lived at Mannix College, Monash Uni, and we both met our wives there. But he was there many years after me, so I didn’t witness him break the world record for the longest time taken to complete an Arts degree

My work had a staff vote, and we all voted to return. Management over rid us

So you have even more in common. Interesting.

I went into the city for work this week

I have not missed the 3 hour round trip

I have no interest in going back full time its such a massive drain on your free time

If Dan said everyone was going back HUN would run a story about how he was lying and business leaders said 60% tops and the usuals would be in here posting about how Dan lies/is dellusional

False equivalence.

My guess is there will be some office return but it will be a day or two a week. A mate who has a retail business that depends on nearby office workers has noticed the numbers increasing. He's not in the CBD.

Some people want to, some will have to but there is no way its going to be like 2019 in the CBD anytime soon

 

[Gralin]

And I think that's going to be fairly common in a lot of cities where they mostly thrived on office workers not residents

 

[Ghost Patrol]

Unusual for grammar to be a strength of a contract cleaner!

Nice edit. Showing your true character stereotyping cleaners like that.

Born to rule mentality hey?

Which is fairly much what I posted. As you say it won't be just the call of the workforce. I know of a prominent architectural firm where the staff hasn't been given a choice. Others where remote work in some circumstances is less efficacious - law firms for example where face-to-face has clear advantages. And I can't see the courts sitting remotely for longer than they have.

It's true the CBD will never be the same.

I've also been in two Friday nights in a row, once for drinks and once for a show
A lot of empty premises and a lot less people going in socially than before as well

It will be interesting to see how that side goes

roads are apparently overloaded because people are avoiding public transport as they dont want to be in enclosed spaces with lots of people.
