Tech workers at the New York Times plan to strike for half a day on Monday, accusing the publisher of attempting to unilaterally force them back to the office.
No kidding. It’s effectively meaningless posturing. At worst the company will dock them half a sick day and tell them to get back to work. There’s no risk to them doing this, and there’s no incentive for the company to change their policy based on this. They couldn’t even do a full day. This is just a long lunch. The only way they could have made it more meaningless is by staggering their strike times to ensure coverage.
The company’s just gonna say “Cool. Is that all you’ve got? Are you done with your tantrum? Great, now come back to the office like we asked.”
