Reply to comment by Odd_Shirt_3556 in PA state employees: Are all PA State Employees going to get called back into the office? by ChatNoir33
>My opinion is the grand experiment is ending.
It's funny because the "experiment" was a massive success, most workers are as or even more productive with WFH than they are in office.
Middle management is mad they can't micromanage anymore, so they're going to cost companies (and taxpayers, in this instance) money trying to force people back. Funniest part is they'll also probably lose some of their best employees, because only the worse employees with no alternatives are going to come back without a fight.

So the one reason I could see is social media outreach. Many agencies keep a Facebook/Twitter/etc profile for announcements and other stuff. That's about it.

Had my old car get patched for rusted out parts of the frame once, second time a few years later it was so bad they couldn't patch and I got a new car. Just the way it goes with all the salt on the roads in winter and time being what it is.

So options trading grew less than inflation?

Web meetings will also often take into account that participants may be from other states, usually the policy is designed with the most restrictive state laws in mind which may not be PA.

No power issues in my area or my parent's (or at least, nothing at my house that I can tell remotely).
Had a fun issue where my thermostat sent me a notification that my heat went out, but lucky for me power cycling the heat system a few times from my phone fixed it without me having to drive back.

Reply to Asked to conserve electricity on Christmas eve. What is even going on anymore by CoolHandMike
You're really overreacting, CA showed even sending a brief message like this can reduce load on a grid if even a small portion of customers can reduce their usage.
I'd much rather get an inoffensive e-mail than our grid fail during a deep freeze like in Texas or something.

Reply to comment by godofleet in FYI: PPL is Increasing their Electricity Rates by 18% to 14.612 cents/kWh on December 1st. This is up 53.78% YOY. by giggles-mcgee
>but if you look at the value of practically any currency vs gold
Why would you look at the price of gold over the price of something like stocks though? Small amonuts of inflation promotes actually investing money rather than sitting on it, and that promotes growth of the economy.

I'm lucky that my job gives PTO for jury duty, has to be absolutly awful for anyone losing a significant amount of their income from a long trial.
