He is mad because the pandemic allowed people to review their priorities and turn towards their personal lives rather than focusing on career lives. People today are less willing to work overtime, less willing to go above and beyond because they don’t care about that. It means less money for the fat cats which is why they are bitching so much.
Yeah promotions don’t exist anymore, raises only come when you threaten to quit, and the only reward for loyalty is vacation time to use on getting sick. I’m not gonna show unrequited loyalty.
I’m extremely pissed that my company went to “unlimited personal leave” as long as you can get your work done. I’m already salaried, so technically, I could have always done that. Now I’ve lost the 4 weeks of vacation (earned by decades of seniority) that once enjoyed without guilt or worry.
He’s also slightly mad because he now has to compete in a labor market where people can choose between:
A shitty waiting job that has you flying out of town daily, pay is about as much as a gas station clerk, has you dealing with some of the craziest ideologies on the planet because no one respects your authority. High Stress, low reward situation.
Then you have work from home: Right off the bat, you get 2 extra hours back from your daily commute. If you have kids, you are now saving hundreds of dollars monthly on child care. Car care costs go down. Gas costs go down. Less stressful situation, and more mentally stable.
The problem isn’t just that he is having to compete with work from home jobs, but he is now having to compete against the benefits of work from home. And there is only one way to do that: $$$.
If you have kids, you are now saving hundreds of dollars monthly on child care.
Myself and most WFHers know still put our kids in care, you simply can’t work and look after young kids simultaneously unless you only work at night or during naps.
I do apologize, I seemed to have put every parent into the same logical group of thought, and that is wrong on my part.
Though I will reiterate the argument that once you start piling the cost savings from a work from home job, companies would have to pay more at a minimum to match those cost savings.
Frontier doesn’t fly business. If Frontier is pissed off, it is because it is causing the legacy carriers to muscle in on the vacation traffic his company flies.
He just pissed that business travel is still down. Sorry, it’s never going back to the way it was.

More reasons we need more unions.

I don’t know if “business traveler” is Frontier’s main customer, exactly.
