At the corporate level, almost nothing.

“Here’s a hotline, don’t kill yourself”

and

“Here’s 15 days pandemic leave if you get covid”

What I would have liked is the ability to go on leave like my wife. I don’t care if it’s unpaid, I just can’t take the kids being around the house with noting to do now that my wife’s leave is done.

“This was in 2007, maybe things have changed since then).“

So before 3G, when AT&T had an exclusive deal to sell a locked iPhone.

I mean I remember having to use dial up for the first time in years when I lived in Spain in 2005!

I reached that conclusion at the start of the coronavirus lockdown; that the managers who resisted letting us work remotely were consoling themselves at the outsourcing experiment they were conducting.

But I’m not too sure outsourcing white collar jobs will work.

Trumpism has 40% of the electorate in any western country. Add in the masses of disillusioned white collar workers, and populism will be the natural political position of every Western country (therefore joining the rest of the world)

Now imagine a “respectable” Trumpism, i.e. populism without the icky Le Penns, Salvinis, or Trumps.

Imagine Brexit with half as many remainers.
