TIM GURNER IS A CUNT.
From 2 years ago:
CEO Tim Gurner: “We need to see unemployment rise. Unemployment has to jump 40, 50 percent in my view. We need to see pain in the economy. We need to remind people that they work for the employer, not the other way around.”
There’s been a systematic change where employees feel the employer is extremely lucky to have them, as opposed to the other way around…We’ve got to kill that attitude and that has to come through hurting the economy.
Sieve-Boy on
“Australian business leaders including Bunnings boss Mike Schneider, hospitality king Chris Lucas and property developer Tim Gurner have warned the government not to meddle in work from home arrangements during the fuel crisis, arguing it risks damaging an already struggling economy.”
So based on the people demanding this being a bunch of absolute shit cunts, this tells me work from home would be a FANTASTIC idea.

I’d argue that it’s worse than covid. Essential workers were still able to travel.
Truck drivers and farmers running out of diesel is going to be significantly worse than covid in terms of economic impact. What will cafes do if their stock shipment can’t arrive? Supermarkets?

I’ve never heard a proper answer as to why supporting CBD cafes is of the utmost importance, but supporting local suburban cafes doesn’t matter.

Why not?
When people do their whole job on a computer. All meetings that need to happen can be done through Skype.
Covid proved it can be done. The sensible thing is to conserve fuel where possible. Seems like a no brainer?

This is exactly a covid situation, sure we have reserved now, but what happens as the US/Iran continue to turn up the heat,
Need to get cars off the road, either discount PT and have it run with an extended time table or bring back full time WFH.
Those trucks stuck in traffic are wasting fuel and considering this is not going to be a short resolution, action is needed ASAP.
We don’t want another covid situation where the hard and quick solution was the best long term choice.

The government should just order work from home where possible. If an employer refuses then they should have to pay double the fuel costs for all employees until they agree.
Business groups and businesses need to understand they are guests in the country not the country.

Sorry but why does business get to dictate how we allocate fuel usage during an international emergency.

Won’t somebody think of the landlords!?

The only reason WFH was granted during Covid was due to government mandate,
Businesses would want you in regardless, they will sacrifice you for their profits.

I wish we had more outspoken public figures that could throw their money around to compete against this type of shit. Imagine we had some rich fella that owns a corporation running majority wfh putting out a news article that said “Fuck off, no one cares about your useless CBD skyrise that technology has made redundant”
