Deutsche Bank proposes a 5% tax for people still working from home after the pandemic

Oh right, while GS, HSBC, JPM, Barclays, Wells Fargo, MS, and the rest of the bunch are clean as a whistle. Come on mate, they are all as dirty as it gets. In light of Goldman helping Greece bringing the entire EU down and helping to steal billions of dollars from Malaysia DB really does not even play in the same dirt league as GS and Co.

the only bank more corrupt than DB is HSBC.
 
You are missing the point here. The point is that those who can work remotely are disproportionately befitting from that while those who must work face to face don't reap those benefits. It's like building a small insurance pot to support those who work face to face and fall on hard times. Of course it's idiotic when you see the happiness level and safety nets of western social market economies and compare that with millions of people in the US who have got nothing left, no further opportunities or second chances...

Why does this matter. I've known about 7 people now that have gotten COVID since they weren't able to work remote and still had to go out and make a living. There's a temp agency okay not the best job. Its packing stuff for the holidays. Guess what they don't have enough workers. They have unlimited overtime, well as unlimited as some can handle. That's a quick an easy way to make at least 3 to 4 grand a month here. I'm so tired of people drowning in hopelessness over the shit they see on the media that they dont um, go outside and see what's actually going on. Shit is bad, but whining about it is not how things get better. You have to actually make peace in chaos, chaos is the natural state of nature, not peace. Happy late Veteran's day everyone. I was celebrating a little too hard and I just came back from Pluto.
 
Also why is it the workers that still produce value have to be the ones that pay increased taxes. Why don't the wealth hoarders I mean savers, I mean people that hoard capital and make money through capital gains, me included pay less taxes. And no I will not voluntarily pay the POS IRS more money I'd rather give it to a charitable non profit.
 
The claim that both provide the same service level quality is completely debunked. Tech companies currently push for remote work because it's all they get, better remote work than nobody showing up. Tech companies and all other corporates know full well that remote team work is never the same than a bunch of guys putting their brains together in the same room. Or has it not occurred to you why corporates have flown people all over the world for meetings for decades? You think corporates are stupid and could not figure out much earlier how much efficiencies are unlocked through remote work?
Debunked by whom? I've run a tech business for the last 5 years where half my employees are remote (like spread around the country) and the other half work remotely most of the time and have since I started the company. It takes a little work to set that up in a way that works, and it's not the paradigm we've all lived with for all of previous history so many people decide it can't be as effective without any evidence to support that assertion. However I've found considerable success I believe specifically because of our remote work setup rather than in spite of it. Productivity of my employees is significantly higher than what I've seen in my previous 20 years of work experience, my turnover is effectively zero, and all that gets accomplished without anyone working more than 40 hours a week. From a hiring perspective, I now have access to a pool of much higher quality people since I can draw from anywhere in the U.S., which gets me closer to the situation I had with my first company in the Bay Area at a fraction of the cost. There is pretty much no downside.
Obviously this doesn't work for everyone. I have the benefit of hiring only A players for white collar positions, and having spent many years in very hands on industries I understand that not everyone is in that position. But if you are, my experience tells me that you're actually foolish not to take advantage of all the benefits remote work can bring to your company.

I would add that "because we've done it that way for decades" and "don't you think someone would have done it by now if it was a good idea?" are exceedingly stupid rationals for continuing to do something. I love it though, it's why small companies like mine routinely take business away from far bigger companies where that attitude is ingrained in their culture. In fact pretty much every successful company that's come out of Silicon Valley owes at least part of their success to the fact that attitude was pervasive in the industry they disrupted.

How about we nationalize douche bank and give people interest free loans instead? After all, they're proposing welfare under a different name

LOL;
they had so many big fines.Are you sure there are any ASSETS there?? Most govs have enough debt...…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….Maybe their REALTY is worth something??
 
Sure, give them a 5% tax break right after cutting their salaries by 30% for the huge drop in efficiencies. Or why do you think there are huge backlogs in government work that needs to get done? Or corporate backlogs and every Schmuck using covid as an excuse why he still has not gotten his work done on time...

Better than a 5% tax
 
LOL, you make petty uninformed generalizations like a ten year old.

Remote work, telecommuting, whatever you want to call it - has grown by 173% since 2005. I know professionals who have been doing it at Companies like Adobe and IBM since the late '90's.

Grow up and wake up - it's the 21st Century. It's a digital world. o_O

Well, nothing to worry about. Soon enough salaries of remote workers will be cut down. Why should someone who works in PJs from home get paid the same than another who shows up at work all else being equal? It's like saying that a teacher should get paid the same who teaches children over the internet than another one who actually makes the effort to show up in person to teach in-class. The claim that both provide the same service level quality is completely debunked. Tech companies currently push for remote work because it's all they get, better remote work than nobody showing up. Tech companies and all other corporates know full well that remote team work is never the same than a bunch of guys putting their brains together in the same room.

Right, GS is clean as a whistle. Never had its hand in selling toxic mortgages. Never advised Greece on garbage derivatives. Never helped embezzle billions from Malaysia. Look up 1MDB. It was not DB that was before uncountable congressional and senate committees but GS, Wells Fargo, and plenty other banks. DB is not clean either but it's ridiculous to point fingers only at non US banks when mostly US banks caused a word wide financial crisis and not a single of those bankers is sitting in jail. Instead they pull some teenager out of London and accuse him to have caused the flash crash. If you don't realize that Americans are fed with misinformation day in day out then I can't help you.

the only bank more corrupt than DB is HSBC.

I guess you wanted to misunderstand my posts. My point was that most positions even in technology can't be done from home. Some can, sure, and that has already taken place long before covid. The current backlog and complacency among workers even in high tech is mind numbing. Everywhere you go and everywhere you can reasonably expect to receive prompt service you are told that things have slown down to a crawl because of covid. Reality is that hardly any company has been prepared or is prepared to efficiently operate with a remote workforce.
