Abstract
A rising share of employees now regularly engage in working from home (WFH), but there are concerns this can lead to “shirking from home.” We report the results of a WFH experiment at Ctrip, a 16,000-employee, NASDAQ-listed Chinese travel agency. Call center employees who volunteered to WFH were randomly assigned either to work from home or in the office for nine months. Home working led to a 13% performance increase, of which 9% was from working more minutes per shift (fewer breaks and sick days) and 4% from more calls per minute (attributed to a quieter and more convenient working environment). Home workers also reported improved work satisfaction, and their attrition rate halved, but their promotion rate conditional on performance fell. Due to the success of the experiment, Ctrip rolled out the option to WFH to the whole firm and allowed the experimental employees to reselect between the home and office. Interestingly, over half of them switched, which led to the gains from WFH almost doubling to 22%. This highlights the benefits of learning and selection effects when adopting modern management practices like WFH. JEL Codes: D24, L23, L84, M11, M54, O31.

Please be quiet while the adults are talking. Thanks.

>Chinese government having direct access to influence and push propaganda to 150 million Americans

I didn't realize all those thirst traps were Chinese.

Yeah you 100% didn't click the link...it says error 404, the site it's on works meaning what you linked isn't right....

Impersonating someone in a very accurate way is much different. Try seeing harder.

That’s because the US recovered from abnormally now emissions due to COVID, whereas China spent 2022 still trapped in a massive COVID downturn. Year over year trends can sometimes be misleading, but the big picture is clear as day. Chinese emissions are now higher than all other developed countries combined.

I just preordered an AMD framework laptop the other day. I’m excited to put it together.

The issue is their CEO is not presentable. Keep him in the background and put in a CEO that can talk the talk. There is a reason geeks and nerds don’t make good CEOs.

We’ve talked to lots and lots of outlets already. I’m pretty sure they’ll wrote an article. Also wired, Bloomberg, WaPo, NYT, Just to name a few.

There was no war on coal, there has been an insane campaign to keep coal relevant. Remember clean coal twenty years ago? Complete propaganda.

Chinese and EU emissions fell in 2022, American emissions rose. This is despite the US dwarfing the others in per capita emission especially if you account for scope 3 which is a logical necessity.

It’s the patriot act on steroids

I'm sure they do but their idea is to milk what money they can make from those resources until there's very little or none left.

What sucks is that there really is nowhere to go. All corporations are like this.

The best thing we can do is support unions and the people attempting to form a union.

Never heard of Framework, but I'm tempted to get one of their laptops just to support them.

Microsoft doesn't sell customer O365 data and contractually guarantees it.

>We can't afford to do this slowly anymore.

I agree with that, and I certainly didn't want to imply otherwise.

>None of that matters since emmisions literally hit record highs last year.

Yet, this is a kind of bad conclusion from that urgency. Exactly because of this urgency it is important to register the changes we do make, and observe what works. It most certainly does matter what progress we make. This is not changed by the fact that it took us too long, or that it is a only a slow turning around so far. I think there is a good chance that we do peak emissions this year, and we need to speed up the efforts to reduce them quicker.

You just linked a bunch of propaganda. Still serving swill in the US, I see. Eat it up hogs.

I love solar and wind on a smaller scale, seems perfect for running a homestead, an apartment, a home, but from what I’ve seen and gathered online it seems like it’s very impractical for mass reliance for a nation the size of the US. Not breaking any new ground but it still seems to be new nuclear options are the way to go for large scale (cities like chicago and New York). Course, there needs to be serious guidelines and penalties for failing to follow them if we do that, can’t have another Chernobyl negligence incident

"In what way is the technology company Apple related to technology?"

It's not just the logical conclusion, as in they naturally developed on into the other. No, no. SFB just fucking turned into Teams one day.

If you used Skype for Business (and didn't pay M$ to keep it the fuck still for another year while you desperately try to get out from under technical debt) your SFB turned into Teams, as in the client un-installed itself and installed Teams.

Your DNS records for SFB sip? Yeah they didn't need to be changed or anything. They just work for Teams. Same infrastructure.

This is awesome! I'd love to swap my 15.6" gaming laptop into a more permanent set up now that I'm done traveling constantly.

Again see my point about truning the world economy around we are moving at a rapid pace for a world of 8 billion with all that commercial and political inertia.

Now you're right we're not moving fast enough, but as I pointed out as things worsen our inertia will change.

There's a strong likelyhood we'll see a wet bulb event. Probably somewhere like India millions will die and people will be shocked enough to effect real change. It's an ugly thought but it's a reality I've resigned myself to we as a species don't do forward planning well.

But after that things will shift into high gear it'll be the economic and political equivalent of the climate dropping a nuke on us.
