"I used to think LA had bad traffic, but after moving to Atlanta last year, I realized I was way off. With 79,000 people heading back to work, the roads are about to hit a whole new level of chaos."
There’s all ready traffic Jams Traffic is terrible in Atlanta it was bad in the 90’s . But these people need to get to work Hour or more times on hold for Medicare,and Social Security and others.
Have you ever considered that having people in the offices will give jobs to the support staff of the building, restaurants and will turn the cities back into thriving centers? If we need jobs for people who are not college educated we have to create the environments. Business people can work anywhere with a laptop but a janitor needs a building to clean, a security guard needs a building to work in.
@@zgirl1385 Restaurants can thrive in your local neighborhoods...not just around massive commercial real estate areas and people sitting on Zooms all day. Janitors can clean hospitals and schools. The focus should be creating communities...not cubicle factories and more money into the pockets of large corps.
@@JuMiMi86You just hit all the right angle. Families have bonded since most parents worked from home. Kids have done better in school. Just to help real estate moguls make more money. Hybrid should have been better.
Um no! Absolutely not! If people have to go back into the office it’s NOT employees obligation to feed or support local businesses! People bring your lunch, do not waste your time or money you don’t have on sub shops, restaurants, and other local businesses. You owe them nothing. With the amount of money employees will be spending on commuting, gas, and everything else they will need to save their money for their own families. Don’t do it!

So sad! People have been the most productive working from home. Forcing people into hours of traffic, increased car emissions is crazy! Those businesses and building could be feeding the homeless. This economy sucks because everyone at the top is stealing not because the ones at the bottom need to spend more.
@@celestialtl At least you weren't getting to work at 8am to go for coffee at a nearby coffee shop or breakfast at a nearby restaurant and not starting work until 30-40 mins later; chatting (at water coolers, hallways, stairwells, cube/personal office); taking 70-80 minute lunch breaks at nearby restaurants; leaving 30 mins early to get to Happy Hour at a bar near the office; and leaving the computer at the office at 5pm never to be near it again until the next day like a lot of people do. The field that I am in has a lot of deadlines and milestones. So while working from home without all kinds of distractions, people just work more to get ahead of the due dates. And the more they work, the more handoffs they create for others. And the more handoffs received, the more people work just to keep up. Although I will have to get up an hour earlier, it won’t bother me too much for everyone to go back because we will go back to working 40 hours instead of 50+. The only problem right now is that my office became so productive that our leaders got rid of a lot of rental office space (we are in a rental, not a federal building), furniture, equipment, and supplies. It didn’t make sense to spend taxpayer money for things not needed. So now we don’t have enough room and items for everyone to come back full time. It will take time (and taxpayer money) for all of us in my office to go back.
This is so stupid…just to help out his real estate bros. If they work has being successfully done for all of this time remotely, what’s the point in forcing a commute just so that people can sit on a computer in cubicles next to each other? 🙄🙄
That's a waste of urban office-space. What kind of fool thought it was a good use of money to rent/lease office space in downtown Atlanta? And for gov't workers, at that?! This is not fiscally judicious.
Federal employees message for you: I urge you to stand together and boycott these businesses do not do make them rich off of your misery. in this economy they will continue to raise restaurant prices.
There are states/ counties or cities/ towns where it is too expensive for regular federal employees many with families have to live and work so either the federal agencies pay for the cost of living or relocation those agencies to more affordable areas. Good example: Bozeman, Montana; with average home prices $950,000 and high taxes, HOAs, cost of living, solution would be to relocate or shutdown any federal agency in the city or county. Bozeman isn’t consider for increase pay adjustment because it is not recognized as cities such as Denver, Seattle or Portland, LA or NYC. Yes…it’s between a town and a sleepy backwards city.

@@Shannon-gr7rm The amount of support I’ve gotten from women who have either never met irl or met me in the wild is insane. And let’s not talk about my friends!
So city and state employees going continue to stay home and not serve people like they are supposed to is interesting. The taxpayers of GA pay their salaries, their cushy benefits, their retirement packages yet they don't want to go back to work for the people who pay them is pathetic.
How about renaming the Richard B Russell building, AJ? Naming it after a prominent racist/segregationist might have been hip in the 70s, but seriously.
Have you taken a look at the election? A certain member of this new administration was doing a Charlie Chaplin salute. This is what's hip in the 2020s.
@alhodge4051 Jealous, you can't work for the government. They don't have to buy anything. See, and remember who boycotted buses in the sixties, we will and can do it again. You won't make no money off of us.
"I used to think LA had bad traffic, but after moving to Atlanta last year, I realized I was way off. With 79,000 people heading back to work, the roads are about to hit a whole new level of chaos."
Plot twist … federal workers bring their lunch to work.
The comment I was looking for.
😂😂😂
I live downtown there are hardly no places to eat around the federal buildings. They are about to come back.
And for those that don't bring in their lunch, they have in-building cafeterias at really good prices.
😂
Get ready for traffic jam 😢
It's Atlanta. What else do you expect?
There’s all ready traffic Jams Traffic is terrible in Atlanta it was bad in the 90’s . But these people need to get to work Hour or more times on hold for Medicare,and Social Security and others.

An attempt of the business class to prop up the commercial real estate sector and other ancillary businesses.

I don’t work downtown but we have been in the building for 3 years since Covid.
Remember Trump is a commercial residential real estate developer. That part of the industry has taken a hit as well.
Trump does nothing unless he personally benefits. Why can’t everybody see this by now?
All the big cities will see more traffic, more accidents. It's ridiculous
Get back to the office. You can pretend to work in the office as easily as you did at home.
People have the same projects at home that they had in a building. Your duties are your duties.
😂😂
I would not buy if I have to spend money on gas.

Whatever
Fix the dam traffic sick of it
That costs money. Do you want to raise the taxes for it?
Pay federal less so we can use taxpayer money on fixing the traffic
Bout to time. No more sitting at home doing what you want. Now yall have to work like everybody else
It all happened under trumps watch, we are all Slow
Yep Republicans in America voted for this we knew this before the election that home work would end
So they need to come back. Instead of sitting at home collect a check
