        Why do you need physical access to employees that don’t do their work on time or up to quality?

          Training and education have been found to occur better in person than online.

          If someone needs help, shouldn’t they be given the best chance at success?

            I’m going to want a citation on that. I learn just fine on my own, and I’m sure many others do too. If you’re really concerned about giving people “the best chance at success” rather than just forcing them into boxes then you’d be presenting options.

              it probably has to do with the quality of “remote training” materials. my company (contract security), I train new hires in a variety of things including CPR/AED/First Aid… you can definitely tell the difference between people who were given the stupid web-cartoon training vs actual in person training.

              hell, the remote training shit had terrible localization issues. (as in, would get our people arrested and charged with felonies… ooops…)

        Is requiring all employees to spend multiple unpaid hours in a car during rush hour in order to put them in unattractive cubicals or desks akin to prison cells, where they are only allowed to shit x amounts a day, and where the manager keep looking over the shoulder to see if you are not wasting a minute thinking about anything other than work a punishment?

        What do you think?
