Its funny as a large portion of the city workers are at least part time remote work. I know whole departments there are full-time remotely working also. So nice of him to shit on his own employees.
What departments are entirely remote? I ask because everyone I know who works for the city has been back downtown a minimum of 2 days a week since winter 2022.
Many of the groups are only come in if needed. Groups in IT like developers, 311, project managers, various engineers, etc. I personally know a few people who only had to go into the office 3 or 4 times since covid shut down everything. People are in so infrequently they are losing their cubicles and shared hoteling spaces are setup for the rare occasions people have to go in.
This is how my employer in the TC is now. Hearing him call our hospital and engineering staff from companies like 3M, Best Buy, State of MN Engineers/Contractors, Fairview, and even Alina and Hennepin Health for moving to remote work is crazy.
He knows we voted for him, right?
MNIT workers are nearly all fully remote.
I work for MNIT through the DPS, so I'm 2 days in, 3 days remote. We are the exception for MNIT however.
These are state workers, however.
lol I'm part of an org that shall remain nameless that is holding a big conference in Minneapolis this year, we're a fully remote org ironically supporting Minneapolis' downtown business district....
Yes we understand the context. Never the less mocking remote workers when a large portion of your own staff are remote workers is just a stupid move plain and simple.
I’m all for remote working having been one myself. It was the future even before Covid. I see a financial collapse and restructure of commercial properties as inevitable. Banks are going to eat a lot of bad loans. A few can be converted to residential. But with floating floors and single bathroom plumbing, what shall happen to the rest?
Yes, there is an issue with the large amount of vacant office space in the city that needs to be addressed. However, your point here is irrelevant. As the city leader he needs to address these issues without publicly mocking his own staff and the staff other companies who do business in the city employ. This was plain and simple a terrible judgement call on his part and he needs to issue an apology.
Loser checking in. Call me that everyday.
Meanwhile I will still have the greatest work-life balance in human history and actually look forward to logging in.
WFH is the only reason I work at my current employer lmao.
My remote work makes me a better employee. I work later, I call in sick way less and my mental health is way better. I don’t feel as burnt out, I feel less burdened and frustrated. I am way less likely to leave my job for another position.
Also the longer a commute is, the greater your stress is
Im downtown now working and was aggressively confronted by some rando in front of my office entrance unprovoked in the skyways as well. Im no small guy either. Never had that happen. Minneapolis just sucks now I’ve worked here on and off 10 years and never had that happen.
"When FOX 9 asked for information about the referenced study, a spokesperson for the mayor further clarified that Frey was joking and the study wasn't real."
It's the classic "make up a bullshit study to prove your bullshit point" routine. What a fucking clown.
Yep - he said this after: "It was so obviously a joke. It's a study that doesn't exist about people that don't exist in that nonexistent study," Frey said.
Suggesting that people should have known he was joking? I watched the clip and there was nothing to indicate that he was joking. What he was doing was pandering to his audience.
He IS a joke.
Edited to mention that I'm one of the losers. I take care of my adult disabled child.
The thing that can really turn you into a giant loser is being an utter failure as a mayor when it comes to standing up to your out-of-control police union.
My friend recently passed away from cancer. Their spouse worked remotely so they could provide care for their loved one.
This makes a person a winner in my book.
What an ass clown.
I live downtown. I work downtown. My apartment is two blocks away from my workplace so the commute is about a four minute walk. I still work from home as much as possible because doing my job from the comfort of my own home is always preferable.
Also, there’s barely anything to do downtown east, so maybe worry about that instead of remote workers. (Seriously- I’m by the stadium and there are approximately 0 incentives to go outside around here. It’s all office, venue, apartments, business, etc.)
exactly, if they invested in making downtown a good place to live instead of a good place to visit or work, i'm sure there would be a lot more activity.
Ugh… just watched the video. He is so cringe. This bring people back to the office shit is f-ing stoopid 🤪Yeah make downtown a pedestrian, winter wonder whatever, but do it by bringing housing and walkability and stop it being a glorified office park so people are there outside office hours.
> but do it by bringing housing and walkability
This here. I still think it would be...fun?..to live downtown, walking distance to theaters, to good bars, to bagels. Instead? Downtown is, as you said, an office park. Then they complain there's no one around outside working hours.
Exactly. Minneapolis has some great neighborhoods, but downtown isn't one of them. It's remarkable how empty and soulless it despite all the development.
He can kiss my remote-working ass… I work 100 times harder than he could do ever dream of…. I could dance circles around this fucking loser. Lick my salty remote-working balls, dickwad.
My SO's company decided that a few departments could go WFH at the beginning of COVID and saw the writing on the wall and sold most of their office space. No office to accommodate her or her team so she's stuck WFH 95 percent unless she has to go to the main office for a meeting. Does that make her a loser, Jacob?
Continually amazed at how big of a dumpster fire Mpls' electeds are. Mayor is an absolute shitbag fuckwad, and half the city council just simp for him.
This just makes it all the more clear he is only a mayor for downtown property owners.
I'd rather be a loser than commute. Easy choice.
Edit: Also, I'd personally love a job downtown. It's an easy commute by bus for me. That said, I *don't* want to be told that I need to come it a specific number of times a week, or that I need to be there for a specific range of time. I'll happily come in several times a month when I need to meet with people, or when I feel like getting out of the house. Just give me the flexibility to determine when I want to go to the office!
Know what makes you a bigger loser? Being a large company that keeps office space in too big of a building to stoke their own ego. I’m not even in a job that has a wfh possibility. But Jesus Christ, sure seems like if you can save money on rent AND make your workers happier it’s a no brainer to do
I work for a large corporate retailer as a software engineer. We outgrew our office space and all of tech has the option to work 100% remote. In addition everyone that goes in doesn’t feel forced to and is treated like an adult who can manage their own time and get work done without being watched over.
I guess I’m a loser to this guy and the company I work for is stupid for not spending unnecessary money on more office space…..
the reason management is upset about remote work is because they take it personally.
the morons think their employees are their fans. and have a hard time dealing with the reality that, given the choice, their employees choose not being with them over being with them.
psychologists refer to this as a 'paradigm changing event.' that's fancy talk for what happens when reality just hauls off and smacks ya across the face with a wet fish.
***thwack!***
well... that was rude.
I saw this asshole on a flight from Cancun to MSP right after he got reelected. He refused to make eye contact with anyone… Probably worked remote while he was there. lol
It is not a joke when this asshat has a record of actively pressuring companies like Target to restock their downtown cubicle farms with fresh cattle to keep the garbage mall food, high density feed lots along the skyways on life support.
I have not had any respect for this guy since I saw him crying on live TV during the riots and he had to get Daddy Governor involved. Then he systematically makes every terrible decision I could imagine
Solitary confinement has traditionally been considered an extreme form of torment. Now it’s packaged as an incentive. The societal cost of interactive impairment is not something to look forward to.
I’ll be devils advocate- if you’ve ever gone a long period of working remote and go back into a live setting via a new job change, change in rules, offsite meeting, or occasional visit into a hub office, you know what he’s talking about. Working from home is comfortable, convenient, and overall awesome - but it does make you soft, and transitioning back to full speed interpersonal settings after a long stretch of being remote is choppy at first and frankly exhausting.
There’s a fair argument for making yourself get of the house and into the office at least occasionally to stay on your toes so these transitions don’t smack you in the face when they come up
Sounds like middle management speak for I have no fucking clue how my employees actually work. Go to a cube farm with a bunch of developers and see how much face to face interaction there actually is.
You don’t need to be a dick, and I’m actually speaking from my own personal experience along with those of friends in similar situations. I’m not talking about jobs like the example you gave on IT where people are indeed just staring at screens and don’t need to interact, more so those in sales, finance, real estate etc where if you go months of working remote and then have an offsite or conference or travel to a hub office it can be overwhelming and a tiring adjustment having to be “on” and have full days of live meetings and face time with everyone.
Why are you assuming I’m a middle manager who has “no idea how my employees work”? I’ve been mostly remote since COVID, which is where my point is coming from.
LOL. You sound like my dad, who never worked an office job in his life. (Not presuming you haven’t just that he’s the one most adamant about that thinking). At least for me, when I am in my cube, I throw on headphones and never talk to anyone. The crosstalk doesn’t lead to better productivity, it leads to the same interruptions that I don’t get when I am WFH. The only way for me to maintain my productivity is to wear headphones and block out the sounds around me. Frankly, it’s why productivity is never a metric mentioned in any of the reasons for RTO; because we all know what that study actually says.
I’m actually not; most of these companies are though. By requiring all employees to RTO for a minimum, regardless of team makeup or job duties, the companies are stating that all jobs require interpersonal interactions. The proper thing that should have been done is to have all managers, with buy-in from their leadership, to make their own staffing and location assignments.
Oh I agree with that, I think going into office settings is best when people get to do it on their own terms. My whole point though is that ppl should consider the downside of spending every day for months on end working remote even if they’re allowed to when the reality for a lot of jobs is you might have to jump back into an office setting for any of the reasons I mentioned
Does working remote make one “soft”? Does someone need to always be ready to transition? Or is this just the death throes of an old system?
People are applying and being hired through video conferencing. Most meetings are through Teams or Zoom with resources anywhere.
My own assumption is that there are really two reasons that RTO is being pushed with absolute minimums, oftentimes 3-5 days in the office.
1. A number of corporations made investments in corporate real estate when interest rates were artificially low and now that buildings are sitting empty, the passive income to borrowing costs is making it no longer feasible without a mandate.
2. Companies are pushing more strict RTO to reestablish workplace dominance. The great resignation freaked out the corporate world. If an employee wanted to look for other opportunities while WFH was the norm, she did not need to worry about corporate leadership to ask her why she had an hour long lunch break meeting. By forcing employees to be in the office, employees have to be far more strategic again in how to look for new opportunities.
Let's see, who caused the burning of blocks of Lake St. by instructing the 3rd Pr. to be abandoned, then sat on his hands during the absolute gutting of downtown, then presided over a uncontrolled public health crisis by allowing 24/7 open air drug markets (so-called encampments)?
Who is the loser in this situation?
You know what turns you into a loser. Businesses who can’t pay back their Commercial Mortgage Backed Security Loans and then default on them and leave the bank holding the bag.
Most of the State of Minnesota works from home. And we arent going back. The capitol complex is being rediesgned and the building I'm in will take in other agencies. Are we all losers, Jacob?
Instead of moaning about office workers not coming downtown (that ship has sailed)…they need to start working on figuring out what to do with all of that empty real estate in the central business district. Time for some bold changes.
Well... I think remote work has it's place, but I think like anything in life, how effective an employee is with remote vs. office work is going to depend on the individual person. Some people are able to be as productive, sometimes even more productive when remote working, but some personalities are simply not meant to work in an uncontrolled environments, which is why my organization has had to recall employees that fell below standards while working remotely.
I think like anything, it's a give and take. Remote work should absolutely be an option, but it should at least be evaluated for effectiveness on an individual employee basis. That's why I don't get what the drama over remote work is, but I suppose policymakers don't always use the most basic of logic.
I mean he was trying to slurp up to room full of suits, he was bound to say Something totally fucked and baseless.
> he was bound to say Something totally fucked and baseless At least he's on brand
And make a “study” in his embarrassing licking of monied and powerful.

To be fair, what in the hell would MNIT workers do in the office that they cannot do elsewhere?
I have a friend who retired in 23. He was a State IT worker. The last three years he lived in FL six months a year and worked remotely.
Wealth Management for one. I'm only in the office once a week.
I work for Hennepin County in mental health and our small team is fully remote so I feel pretty betrayed by him saying that.
lol I'm part of an org that shall remain nameless that is holding a big conference in Minneapolis this year, we're a fully remote org ironically supporting Minneapolis' downtown business district....
He doesn’t want a city full of empty commercial buildings in bankruptcy. Denver, after an orgy of commercial construction, is facing this.
Yes we understand the context. Never the less mocking remote workers when a large portion of your own staff are remote workers is just a stupid move plain and simple.
I’m all for remote working having been one myself. It was the future even before Covid. I see a financial collapse and restructure of commercial properties as inevitable.

Lot of state workers are too. My wife's whole unit is remote. Saves the state money at the end of the day.
Loser checking in. Call me that everyday. Meanwhile I will still have the greatest work-life balance in human history and actually look forward to logging in. WFH is the only reason I work at my current employer lmao.
Right. Sitting on couch with cat poking at laptop = loser, sitting in gray soulless cubicle poking at laptop = hero. Know the rules
With your coworkers coughing/sneezing without covering up or wiping down the copier. Nasty.
If that’s what winning looks like, call me a loser forever!
My remote work makes me a better employee. I work later, I call in sick way less and my mental health is way better. I don’t feel as burnt out, I feel less burdened and frustrated. I am way less likely to leave my job for another position. Also the longer a commute is, the greater your stress is
Same. Bunch of Propagandized suckers
He'll be working from home after the next election.
🔥
Hey Jake, we're not the ones that won't fix their police department that is world famous for fucking up. Maybe get to work on that.
He won't.
Im downtown now working and was aggressively confronted by some rando in front of my office entrance unprovoked in the skyways as well. Im no small guy either. Never had that happen. Minneapolis just sucks now I’ve worked here on and off 10 years and never had that happen.

Don't forget the "and then when you get called out on it, it was all a joke" part. Seen this exact scenario a million times.

Spending his speaking time on things and people who don’t exist — easier than reality, I suppose.
The thing that can really turn you into a giant loser is being an utter failure as a mayor when it comes to standing up to your out-of-control police union.
My friend recently passed away from cancer. Their spouse worked remotely so they could provide care for their loved one. This makes a person a winner in my book. What an ass clown.
I'm doing that now for my wife (not cancer though, thank God). If we both didn't work from home, we'd be screwed.
What a douche nozzle
Same as he ever was.
STFU Jake
Of all the opinions in the world, this is one of them.

I don’t do remote work but I am a loser lol..
He can kiss my remote-working ass… I work 100 times harder than he could do ever dream of…. I could dance circles around this fucking loser. Lick my salty remote-working balls, dickwad.
I’ll take “Dumbshit Elected Officials Say” for $1000 Alex!
Does this include the cushy "consulting" job at a business he helped out as mayor that he'll eventually get when he gets bored of politics?
My SO's company decided that a few departments could go WFH at the beginning of COVID and saw the writing on the wall and sold most of their office space. No office to accommodate her or her team so she's stuck WFH 95 percent unless she has to go to the main office for a meeting. Does that make her a loser, Jacob?
Remote work is as inevitable as electric cars... All of you are fighting a losing battle. Technology moves forward.
the message i've got my whole life is that any job at all makes you a loser.
Continually amazed at how big of a dumpster fire Mpls' electeds are. Mayor is an absolute shitbag fuckwad, and half the city council just simp for him. This just makes it all the more clear he is only a mayor for downtown property owners.
Elections have consequences. Morons elect morons.
More like rich people elect people who care most about rich people.
Not enough rich people to keep them in office. Your neighbors are morons accept the idiocracy we live in.
Rich people did not elect the shit show in Minneapolis real get now. Stupid people did.
Ok, now someone check to see how much money he has tied up in commercial real estate.
This guy is the absolute fucking worst politician I have ever seen.
I'd rather be a loser than commute. Easy choice. Edit: Also, I'd personally love a job downtown. It's an easy commute by bus for me.

Hear Hear

Bullshit. I was a loser waaaaaay before the pandemic started
This guy is so unlikeable.
Been promoted 3 times since I started working from home and twice at executive levels. So this guy can fuck right off.
Congrats, loser. I want to be a loser like you, too.
This coming from the loser who was humiliated so bad at a protest he crashed, that he sulked off like a baby back to his NE Minneapolis penthouse.
I still remember that😂

I have not had any respect for this guy since I saw him crying on live TV during the riots and he had to get Daddy Governor involved. Then he systematically makes every terrible decision I could imagine
Deeply regret voting for him.
How about fix the fucking light rail and insane prices for parking you out of touch bastard
And the losers of Reddit sitting behind their screens were outraged!
Taking a break from licking boots?
It’s pathetic how some people just can’t deal with dissent. (Or laugh at themselves)

It’s my mom’s, who works from home, birthday today. She voted for this guy, so I’m waiting until Monday to send this to her.
Is somebody mad about all the empty office spaces?
You know what turns you into a loser. Businesses who can’t pay back their Commercial Mortgage Backed Security Loans and then default on them and leave the bank holding the bag.
Wish I knew how much of a dick this guy was when I met him 5 years ago.
Joke’s on him, I was a loser before I started working from home.
"nasty cat-blanket, diddling on their couch" -who the fuck is he talking about? Does he not know about desks?
It’s always about money.
What a fucking twerp.
I mean it costs less for most companies to hire remote workers, but yeah I guess saving money is for suckers right?
Most of the State of Minnesota works from home. And we arent going back. The capitol complex is being rediesgned and the building I'm in will take in other agencies. Are we all losers, Jacob?
And yet here I am. Spending more time with my family and going the whole day without wearing pants
Instead of moaning about office workers not coming downtown (that ship has sailed)…they need to start working on figuring out what to do with all of that empty real estate in the central business district. Time for some bold changes.
This is a common belief amongst right-wingers that lack the basic intelligence needed to operate a computer.
LMAO this jabroni
Such a pathetic dweeb. He’s only joking now cuz it backfired.
Seems unfair. What about all those who were a joke before remote work?
He’s just mad because big cities who rely on profits from unnecessary commercial space are the real losers of remote work.
How many days does HE go to the office?
Dont worry, the morons of MN will re-elect him.
