All Bay Area firms need to
use telecommuting tools

Have you noticed how clear the sky is lately? How fresh the air is? Have you noticed how nice the traffic flow is?

These quality-of-life changes aren’t because we spent hundreds of millions of tax dollars on new roads, express lanes, public transportation or new bridges. It’s simply because corporations were forced to have employees work remotely.

With today’s technology, most anyone can work from home and be more productive. Corporations know this, but they have egos and want buildings full.

We need to demand Bay Area employers are required to have 60%-70% of their workforce remote. Sales, customer service, engineers, programmers and marketing staff can work remotely. So when the virus scare is over, and we are sitting in unnecessary traffic, burning unnecessary gas, thank the Bay Area employers for not evolving with the tools they invented.
