When I took the job, the company was pimping this idea that they were going to merge their NYC and NJ offices in Newark, NJ. The folks at corporate HQ didn't quite realize that folks living in NYC aren't necessarily keen on the idea of living in the city and catching a train to NJ every day, though. Not to mention the people who live in the Hudson Valley or Connecticut aren't going to want to catch a second train out of Manhattan to continue getting to work.

They then changed plans and said they were going to expand the office in Cranford, NJ (which had been planned on moving to Newark before), but scrapped that entirely when COVID hit. The office in Cranford is now closed, and the office in NYC will probably be shrunk when the lease runs out sometime this year.

Yeah....that doesn’t sound like a very well thought out plan at all.

I’ve seen a similar story the last few years. Company moves a sizable chunk of jobs to Atlanta. One of the BS reasons was they wanted to tap into the deeper talent market in Atlanta. But, I think they still wanted to pay Orlando money. They’ve finally fixed that, but I feel like they would move it all back to Orlando if it were simple enough.

You mean the taste? To me the pea isn't as bad as the hemp. I mix it with a cup and a half of frozen fruit, some peanut butter, water and blend it. It's not good, but I can drink it.

Taste and texture. If I remember correctly, the pea protein even after mixture was just a dogshit texture. Like it never broke down like dairy based protein does. I mask the fuck out of all my proteins with fruits and yogurts and spices, but my one pea protein shake was fuck off nopesville.

No, it really wasn't well thought out. They got about halfway through the planning phase before they realized that the NYC and Cranford leases weren't in sync like they thought they were. Someone thought they both ended around the same time, turns out they ended at least one year apart.

I'm thinking I might have to cave and get cable. I have my doubts I'll be able to catch Blue Jackets games this year without it.

I really need to figure out where I can watch Sixers games...and maybe a couple Flyers games.

We made a huge push for WFH over the years here. When I first started, there were like 2100 people in the building. At the start of covid, it was down to about 700 and they officially shutdown the WFH program to new people. The building went from like elbow-to-elbow which was too much. To knocking throwing up a bunch of walls throughout the building and turning them into Huddle Rooms and allowing various teams to just remove desk furniture to have "social spaces" throughout.

They still won't allow permanent WFH after the pandy because they've basically got an expensive tree house to pay rent on.

When I was at Verizon, WFH was some kind of major exception, and it seemed like it would take an act of God to even consider the option. This company seems a lot more receptive to the idea, at least. I know a few folks in sales jobs who came to the office only a day or two a week.

I think we are WFH until June.

I am hoping it remains an option...but I think they will want us to come in a couple days a week,

yeah, I am hoping we can primarily wfh full time with only touchdown space in office.

U has a shortage of office space, it would save them money in long run to not have so much
