WFH

Thankful that we have WFH still widely supported to minimize the impact inflation has on our abundant incomes 😼

WFH went away? news to me

OscarF2P

>What even is the play. They should raise rates to 8%. They should have done this long ago. They should be asking office workers to go back to a hybrid/WFH while the straight is closed. They should be pushing EVs. They should eliminate environmental regulations and open up 5 new government owned oil refineries to refine the oil we pull out of the ground & not foreign oil. Make them part of the strategic oil reserve. We should make exporting our oil illegal again. We should build oil pipelines to bypass the straight. We should eliminate solar panel tariffs. Offer 0% loans for solar on your roof. Get rid of solar & wind farm zoning permitting. Get 30 day turn around for grid approval for solar & wind farms. We should quit going to war in the middle east. Close our bases. Let them kill each other. Quit giving isreal $. We should build high speed rail between major cities. We should drastically raise taxes on non-owner occupied homes. We should get rid of the ethanol mandate to help lower food prices. Get rid of the tariffs and create a tax system like clear air credits except for manufacturing. You want to sell shoes like nike? You better have some manufacturing shoes credits. You can sell all the shoes under $60 you want. Low priced stuff isn't included. Start making good long term decisions.

Companies pay billions in office space with zero proven benefits vs WFH

Vlookup_reddit

Let's not pretend corporates believe in academia when in comes to labor. We know WFH is good for productivity, so do no stack ranking, 4 days work week, affordable housing. And here we are, in the year of 2026, with RTO mandates going around like there is no tomorrow, stack ranking, 996, company town making a comeback.

nostrademons

The structural damage is actually a positive. I bet sales of EVs, batteries, and solar panels are going to skyrocket when we’re faced with $20/gallon gas. We might even get WFH, like they’re doing in many Asian crises in response to this. And the chip shortage will prick the AI bubble and allow that capital to be deployed toward more productive uses, which will also lessen the pressure on electricity demand. Who knew that Trump would herald in the green revolution through his inept foreign policy? That and hand leadership over to more competent folks over in China. America first! Fuck yeah!

endofworldandnobeer

WFH anyone?

AdamJensensCoat

I was running DSL in my SF apartment up until the pandemic. The only other option was Comcast and that’s basically like signing a contract with satan. When WFH started I had no choice but to give in.

NonsensicalWorries

Turns out vehemently demanding WFH made companies realize they can just hire cheaper workers from anywhere else in the fucking world. Millenials pulling up the ladder just like their predecessors.

orsomeshitidk

If gas gets above $5 here, where it was like $2.30 a couple weeks ago, I’m not going into the office I’m WFH until it’s back down dog. I’m not paying European gas prices without European healthcare and vacation time, you fuckin kidding me?

Shot-Welcome-2822

They about to come out and push the WFH model next week

mmmpiecrust

Having a PHEV myself and a sample size of 1, I plug mine in twice a day if I’m doing a ton of off highway driving. Otherwise it’s nightly for my commute. Gas on highway, EV on surface streets. Odometer after 5 years has me at 88mpg (rip WFH, had that bad boy at 112mpg a few years back!) I love PHEVs and wish there were more of them to choose from. If the range was 50-75miles I’d buy a new one today

L0ng_St03Ger

We should all just go back to mandatory WFH. it'll crash prices back down for a bit  Hell, Elmo could come out again taking about how Tesla is making cars that run off his ego and pull will crash to near zero again.  Remember 2017 anyone?

Potential_zero

Looks like WFH is bavk on the menu whether uoutmr employer like it or not.

Fineous40

I hope this means I get to WFH again

orsomeshitidk

I am going to insist to be fully WFH if gas gets above $5 for however long that lasts lol tf you think this is, Europe?

dont_downvote_SPECIL

Thankfully still WFH

furnace9monkey

I WFH and don't use my car a whole lot. I paid $2.69 a few weeks back and went back to the same station on Sunday and paid $3.29. my wife filled up her car yesterday at the same station and paid $3.59 😠

Concerned_Fanboy

had to look up what WFH stood for

Bam2458

Uhh why doesn’t everyone in the world just WFH and drive an EV? Are they stupid?

Extreme_Green_1708

Shout out to everyone who goes into a job that isn’t paying worth the shit and now having to pay more for gas money. Hopefully this spike doesn’t last long for you guys. CEOs who hate their wife and kids will do anything but let people WFH.

LostandConfused2024

Time to WFH until the war is over boys

oddlogic

Look - you’re: 1) an actual human, interested in his sole position 2) agentic, yourself 3) leading a junior grade effort at intel gathering at a research desk as an intern, posing as an antagonist and thick witted Redditor. In any case, it doesn’t really matter to me. I’m a single data node that you’ll collect along the way, and I don’t care to give my opinion freely. I’ve been an RPA dev for a decade now, starting with AutoIT and selenium, and graduating through various products, IDP programs, and shaking fists at enough consultants to keep my heart going well enough, I suppose. But the fact is that when I look out across beat up software names, as an amateur investor with a few hundred thousand in the market to play with at any given time, UiPath would be a trade. Only. They are not going into a long term portfolio. Service Now? Yes. Buy it. Salesforce? Absolutely. CRWD? Are you kidding? Like they haven’t had AI and security on their lips for 5 years already? But UiPath? Why would I ever? Maybe they get a sympathetic bounce here. They may even make it into the next decade - but if they do, it won’t be doing what they are now. They have to pivot completely and make AI the marketable commodity, or die. And their current business model makes no room for that. As someone who has sat with UiPath reps for small ($500k licenses per year) with my old company, I can tell you - they were not impressed with the cost, the scaling ability, the meaningful reduction in head count. It was a buzz word to kick off the exit of Covid, in our time of WFH efficiency seeking. They didn’t like it where I came from (global energy), and saw it as parasitic, at best, and they don’t like it where I am now (leading US healthcare insurance) This company will implode.

_bessica_

We always only get half a tank. We both WFH and don't drive much right now so it's just cost effective. Tuesday my husband had to drive a little for work and said he was filling it up. Prices went up Wednesday.

fratticus_maximus

Having a chill job while WFH feels like the GOAT. It's not as stressful as running your own business. You get consistent pay and can enjoy your life more in between work. During the work day, I have to stay near the laptop but I spend free time on my hobbies in between work. It's great.

DirtyTacoKid

Move all possible US jobs overseas Economy collpases. Who could have seen this coming? It really accelerated during Covid. "Oh your job can be WFH? I think you mean work from India! Bye!"

Salty-Bid1597

Everyone knows this. The people who write those studies also WFH and don't want it to stop.

internetf1fan

As someone who WFH half the week, I have to laugh at all the studies claiming WFH is more productive. I pretty much just sleep in and play games while at home... who else does the same?

This is all just a reminder to fully embrace WFH culture

Playing it on their phones while living in the park I figure. It's the Tent Works Lifestyle Change: its like going camping forever!!! Bonus points if you camp out behind the Wendy's.. Its a work/life balance thing. Low commute is always good, but WFH is not an option when your work is cheap BJ's... Respect the dumpster.

Character_Set3454

Demand is like energy though, it's displaced, not destroyed. I also think there's this belief that somehow every company is going to be the CEO/owner and 40,000 chatbots  I don't see it working like that.  At the end of the day, like I said, maybe 10-20% reduction in workforce, which is still a massive number. One of the key issues that automation has always had to contend with is insurance.    You can't simply replace massive elements of most businesses with AI and hope to maintain your insurance. There has to be liability in the system, someone to blame.    I was talking to someone in medical fields who was really nervous about AI and detection of cancers and the like.. but you are still going to need a human being overseeing it. Not because the human may be superior to the system. Often that's not the case, but because liability and insurance requires it. There has to be someone to blame if things go sideways, you can't simply shrug your shoulders and say "lol, oops, it was the machine LOL, sucks to suck I guess". There's lots of places where employment persists because courts exist. Not only that but there's this idea that once workers lose their job, that's it, they will never be employed again. But unemployed losers who don't want to work have a career now, the "influencer". Its shiny and new, and all kinds of worthless bottom feeders with nothing of real value to offer anywhere else have joined this exciting new avenue of being a clown on the internet because you completely lack self respect.  Every technology that has ever existed has displaced people, and despite that somehow, with more people than we have ever had in human history, the vast majority of them still, in fact, have jobs.  There's nothing I see on the horizon within the next decade that leads me to believe that we will be rounding up "the Poor's" and will just be feeding them feet first into the soylet green machine.  I think that there is a path forward that will fundamentally shift society forever in a way that has not existed since before the industrial revolution. That being AR for corporate use. Where you get the benefits of WFH with the benefits of "in-person" collaboration in that it will allow companies to leave the large corporate buildings, and their obscene costs, allow merit based hiring, instead of hiring only thr best that's willing to relocate, or already in the area, reduce overall energy waste, and allow workers more free time because they don't have to commute, and they can live anywhere they want.. which will allow people to leave shithole cities with their high costs, endless issues, endless cost increases.     That shift will shake the foundation of society as we know it, removing the power of the big city, which might see them collapse due to gross mismanagement and an inability to adapt due to corruption and incompetence.  I think that's the most efficient path forward, but, it's also a long way off, there's a lot of tech that needs to be created and fine tuned before we go that route, if we do. TL:DR; I don't think the doomer future where 70% of jobs are 100% AI will ever materialize. Corporations dislike liability and risk far too much. If you can get 20-30% more productivity out of an AI+human while still maintaining controls that limit liability and satisfies the insurance requirements... Then that's probably as good as it gets. For a while anyways, probably longer than my expected lifetime. 

Gigi_Langostino

>Not sure why this time would be any different than 2008. For starters these weren't high-risk loans; no one expected a global pandemic that would force people to work from home for months/years, and then return to the office only part time, or use WFH/blended working as a point of negotiation on job offers. Anyway, time to go back to the office now, or RFK will throw you in autism camp.

Substantial_Cable169

Lots of people are either conveniently forgetting or ignoring the fact that we had cheap RAM/Flash storage prices, specifically dropped at around 2023/2024 because people were buying electronics like crazy at the beginning of covid and in 2021/2022. Because of that companies like samsung micron etc anticipated more demand and increased supply, only for the covid restrictions to be loosened or removed worldwide starting 2023/2024. So people stopped caring about electronics and started going out doing stuff instead, WFH was being phased out, all that dramatically increased the supply of RAM and other electronics thus the significantly cheap memory prices. Fast forward to 2025, Flash memory manufacturers anticipated dramatic drop in demand due to no covid restrictions, no wfh, and reduced the supply. Then suddenly, AI datacenters started hoarding all the RAM and storage and GPUs, so they ran out of supply earlier than the normally would. This tells us that the flash storage manufacturing is either a very complex business where the margins are razor thin so they have to try very hard to maintain the balance between supply or demand, or the executives working at these manufacturing companies are COMPLETE FUCKING MORONS LIVING IN OPPOSITE LAND and we will see dramatic increase in supply in the next two years, and then AI bubble will pop and the same thing will happen again.

I translate as ‘SaaS is dead, long live Agentics’ and ‘WFH = Office Obsolescence’. Cue the rotation… More curious however: do you personally know anyone, job or position that has been fully replaced by AI?

Kids at school while the wife and I are WFH. Just got the green light to fuck later. **BULLISH**.

EvolvingDior

None of them are WFH, so they can all go pound sand.

jacknifetoaswan

I mean, I guess, but I'm stuck in a VHCOL area. I'm maxing my 401k, but after that, everything goes to rent and living expenses. With WFH ending for a lot of industries, the days of living in a VLCOL area and making high salaries may be over. Couple that with the fact that most people don't want to live in VLCOL areas because they're generally shitty, and that the price of consumer goods and food are up 25% or more, year over year, and, well...here we are.

Don’t forget the absolute terrible RTO plan and removing WFH from Amazon. Just a complete shitshow that is paying for their practices.

YoungXanto

WFH expands the talent pool, much in the same way that off-shoring does. It's not necessarily a location-specific problem but a logistical one. Off-shoring means moving entire departments away from the leadership and into different cultural regimes. It certainly can work, but its quite different than having a team scattered across the US that reports to a director in NY that works alongside the rest of the senior management in a given company. We work with teams across the US anyway, so 3 hour time differences arent a huge deal. On the other hand, 12 hour time differences would be more likely to be problematic (though not necessarily deal breakers). We're currently going through a hiring cycle after moving to an on-site presence. The number of applications has dropped by orders of magnitude and the resumes that have been picked for interviews probably wouldn't have made the cut previously. Tl;Dr: comparing off-shoring to remote work is specious

Perfect_Painter_7863

Who also stares at reddit all day while WFH

FidgetyHerbalism

Kind of, I WFH and all I have to do is meet my metrics & occasionally be active on my primary and secondary monitors (there's a screenshot tracker). So I get to kick around Reddit a fair bit. And you know what irks me most on Reddit? People who've never read a BLS report in their fucking life (which *I* do professionally) making up shitty conspiracy theories about the agency which make the left look like morons who can't even understand the basic concept of forced time off work screwing with deadlines. Nothing worse than seeing people politically aligned with you making absolutely terrible arguments.

PaperHandsTheDip

They don't really have a large moat and their growth got rekt. During covid when everyone was WFH it popped off, then it just kinda died when things went back to normal. Was priced for massive growth, market dominance, etc, etc. Never came to fruitation and they've been struggling there

Schumpeter50

brutal feedback: don't do this. just put your money in an s&p index fund. you don't have any real comparative advantage here, and even professional hedge fund managers on average don't beat the index. i don't think this is gonna go well for you. put your money in an index fund, then take this extra time you have and spend it earning labor income somehow in the labor market, maybe via a remote WFH job. good luck.

dudeondacouch

it would be tough to pull off if you can't WFH or are retired. that's really the only issue with recommending it to others.

Power_Grumpus

Wait, I also work at the JPM Plano campus. If you just select the WFH - health reason option, they can't deny it. The roads are completely iced over. On the topic of this post, I'm very very much struggling with the same FIRE decisions you're facing, but with much less (about half) your net worth but still haven't. I need to find something to keep me engaged and challenged and although I hate JPM and the people here, it does provide that.

cryptohorn

I WFH so yea

Prune-Butter

Change fields to one in demand. There is a massive shortage of staff in the medical field. No one I work with in mine makes under $50.00 per hour and we’ve been short for years with people quitting and becoming a traveler for $90-$115.00 per hour. 100% match 401k, 10% discount on the company stock purchase plan, etc…and we still can’t get enough people. Everyone wants WFH jobs.

One of my coworkers who WFH already lost power and nothings falling yet 😂

> telling employees they could move further away from the office given the new WFH policies during covid. surely this is some sort of constructive dismissal case?

tinyfred

As someone who worked there for over 4 years. Good. I have many friends who are still there and they announced yesterday mandatory 5 days back a week at the office, after specifically, on paper, telling employees they could move further away from the office given the new WFH policies during covid. Many moved over 1h away from the Montreal office, and now theyre forcing them back 5 days a week. All those employees are 100% going to quit. You'll also see some major layoffs. Company is going to absolute shit.

India is only remote relative to the US. They're in an office and they aren't WFH in India. Also, they are excellent at the price you can get them for relative to the US marketplace. There used to be a serious quality issue with India but they've improved immensely in the past decade. It's even better if you hire them as full time staff and give them benefits. A fraction of the cost of US staff, but even more motivated and committed if they are hired as full time staff.

BroughtBagLunchSmart

> because we know with certainty that people who WFH are less productive lol, LMAO even. Found the guy who is mad they cannot overcharge people for downtown commercial leases anymore.

shamblingman

Couple of factors. It hasn't been that long since the initial investments in AI and the CEOs are being a bit disengenuous with their replies. I consult for fortune 500 companies and I've seen where much of the AI spend is going and the CEOs are not going to admit that they've cut back on staff or how effective AI is at showing which employees are actually productive. Last year there were about 150,000 developers laid-off from the tech field that were earning an average of $200k. That's $30 billion in salary and more if benefits are factored in. AI is also useful is measuring productivity and we're now aware of which employees produce, especially those that WFH. Companies will accelerate the push to return to office because we know with certainty that people who WFH are less productive. For now, it guides decisions for who to lay off and when. CEOs are not going to publicly admit these immediate results, even in a PWC survey and PWC is certainly aware of these results from AI investment themselves.

Hi all, Looking to get into Options as a second source of income. Im WFH so have free time to scan charts and such in the mornings/throughout the day. Im 27 and not looking for a get rich quick but a consistant and reliable stategy that I can learn. I have something that I like but havent really seen any significant gains from it so far. Will post the details below. Screener This scanner includes price > $3, change > .01%, market cap 300M USD, EMA(50) < price, EMA(21) < price, avg volume 10D > 500k, ADR > 2%. I look for a tight bases on the daily timeframe and a breakout on the 5 min with a bullish conformation candle. I look for calls atleast 1/2 OTM, with high volume atleast 100 and OI of atleast 1000, the Delta should be higher than .25. I will hold the contract to 50%-100% not to get greedy and have a SL of the low of the day (stock price) I bought the contact. I will close the contract if it hasnt played out by halfway to the exp. If anyone has any advice or tweaks to this or a totally different statagy that you think would work better please get in touch.

When can I start WFH from Greenland?

thiskillsmygpa

Q for you then with your experience. Ive been trading and investing for 15ish years. In my experience sometimes the easiest most obvious big trend, trades really do work quite well. For example, you could buy AAPL in '15 on a couple qs of slowing iPhone sales AFTER buffet bought it and showed up on the 13s. You could buy MRNA and BioNTech AFTER we knew the vax was gonna work and still make a huge return. Same for WFH stocks like zoom after it was clear WFH was gonna be a thing The travel names when it was already apparent people were booking trips again NVDA , AFTER chatGPT came out and AI was the hot thing. LLY well after hundreds of articles and everyone plus their sister on GLP1 Euro weapons companies well into Ukraine war and re-arming under way. So this trade is a simple one, yes, but does HAL and VLO make sense even if it's kinda obvious and consensus?

Evol_Etah

Nah, I'm under 30. But I grew up super super poor. Now I'm making bank. But I had to give-up so much of my childhood, cause I could never afford stuff. So basically, it's like a guy earning 1 million usd, but living in a shitty apartment basement eating ramen and having a broken laptop WFH. (Good company, good benefits) Purely cause idk how to do with this money, and I don't wanna make stupid decisions. But I also need to make A decision eventually. I'm just scared of losing everything I have.

Bravadette

Data centers replace all the offices for companies who refused to allow WFH because Gen Z is the captain now. The walls are filled with liquid cooled tubing like arteries. You can hear the pumping, like a heartbeat, at 1AM in NYC. All cars are silent now. In the summer, Peter Thiel finds evidence of the antichrist. Turns out he lives in a cave of ice on mars. Joint venture between Elon Musk and Thiel is announced on the public market to ignite the first thermonuclear bomb on another planet and terraform it . People ask how theyre still alive. No one knows. People say money. Some say they harvest the blood of their countless progeny, 5 of which are uncovered every year. The truth is that they died in 2042.

borat_he_like_you

Why being a doctor is overrated. By the time you’re really earning: You’re mid-30s You often carry $300K–$500K in debt Your investing clock started a decade later You can’t WFH You work nights / weekends / holidays Burnout is common

WFH isn’t good on my posture. Catch myself sitting like a fuckin gremlin in this chair

karock

fuel costs are involved in the delivery of most goods, so it does matter a bit more than just for personal usage, but yeah I feel kinda the same way. I WFH so I get it matters more for others but even if I did 25 miles/day more driving I'd still only be spending like $30/week on gas... so yeah 10% reduction would be like a couple hundred bucks a year difference give or take.

PaperHandsTheDip

It's closer to 300k in market gains (\~10% average since 1990). \~7% accounting for inflation (210k) - of which draw out just over half of that (110k). I accounted for those things. Basically just sell \~3.5% of your assets per annum. It's more conservative than the 4% rule. That draw rate will run you indefinitely and grow faster than inflation. You'd actually get to draw out more than 110k in year 2, more in year 3, etc. \--- Income comes in the form long term capital gains. Online calculators suggest you'd owe \~10k in tax on that - which means after tax you get \~100k of disposable income per annum. That'd grow with inflation \--- \> 30 year old couple, but we don’t live 2x better than them. Yea, we spend slightly more on housing, but part of that comes with WFH. We lease a new Honda every 3 years cause both of us cba to deal with the stress of a mechanical issue. You are living well above the average. It's a case of lifestyle creep more than anything imo. I also WFH (and know several people that do as well). They work in the living room / at an office desk, etc. You have \~1k sqr ft / person. I know families of 4 who live in \~1400 sqr ft AND have an office at home. I grew up in a \~2400 sqr ft home with a family of 6 and 3 dogs. The reality is that the average person spends less than $100 / month on entertainment & hobbies. They also live in a smaller & cheaper home. They spend less on food and also eat out less. Even in a HCOL area - it's mostly just attributed to rent. \--- For a thought experiment - if you guys only had $100k income - how would you live? Can you adjust your lifestyle down to that? The average income in america is only 67k / person. Are you willing to live cheaper (just compromise on a home). If yes - you can save more / invest more & retire earlier. \--- You have a ton of time / space left to compound your income to afford these freedoms as your assets grow

modder9

If you are still working during, sure. That income is still taxed, and every year of inflation and incidental expenses will eat away at your savings. Idk it still feels like we earn so much more than the average 30 year old couple, but we don’t live 2x better than them. Yea, we spend slightly more on housing, but part of that comes with WFH. We lease a new Honda every 3 years cause both of us cba to deal with the stress of a mechanical issue. Unfortunately, the older I get, the more I yearn for nice climates in even higher COL areas. I could move to a cultural desert like Texas, but what’s the point of saving money if you are surrounded by the most annoying uneducated fucks? Basically, everyone under 30 is fucked unless you want to live in Kansas.

There's nothing wrong with Chicago in the summer & while Chicago winter is tough, things don't really get much better until you're in Florida. Winter everywhere between the Great Lakes & the Gulf of Mexico is gloomy, grey, and cold enough to need to wear some kind of jacket outside. If it's not 75+ & sunny, it's too cold. Wearing extra layers for Chicago winter vs Nashville winter is basically trivial. "Oh no, I had to put on an extra shirt. Boo fucking hoo." And snow is a plus now that COVID WFH adoption has resulted in snow days for adults.

Its not about creative outputs, its about streamlining repetitive time consuming work Actually this isn't really "AI" its "Automation". They're near synonyms in 2025. The mantra right now is AI AI AI The real agenda though, is 1. Automate as much as possible 2. Outsource to low cost countries If it can't be automated, outsource it to India, Sri Lanka, who ever will do it. Wherever it can be done cheaper. If your job is WFH, it can be done in India instead.

Humongous news: for the first time in a long time I took my 2nd shower of the week Usually I just do 1 shower a week since I WFH and save money for stocks But I did another shower today because my dog wanted a shower (it's his first in 2 weeks)

I’m not concerned with the AI bubble. I’m concerned with the commercial real estate fallout. An 18-30 window is what Gemini is estimating. Drive around town and look at all the office spaces & whole buildings up for sale or lease. WFH/Remote changed the landscape and this is a slow & painful reaction. I’m 100% opposed to another bailout.

Yet another thing killed by WFH culture, now there's proof it's holding us back!

**Attractive female colleague**: "so, I heard you are into stocks, I have $46k sitting around, what should I buy?" **Me**: \*blush 😳\* "uhm... so invest in AI, blue chip companies like Oracle and Meta, and some speculative like Palantir, buy them, don't miss another boat" # That was ~2 months ago, I haven't been into the office the last couple of days, and I am not going to for a while. I am WFH until morale improved 😩😩😩

No that's what I get for being WFH and having a meeting during street sweeping

I’m the same way (I’m 35). I’m spoiled and love five minutes from our factory outlet mall so I typically go there. I primarily WFH anyway.

You literally made an assumption. “You can’t blah blah blah over teams.” And I’m telling you that you can because we do. Everyday. And yeah I’ve led teams. Quite well actually. Because I was concerned about outcomes and not some marketing level BS about ‘synergy around the water cooler.’ Listen it’s obvious that this is role and task dependent but don’t make assumptions though. WFH can and does work well. It’s a blessing as far as I am concerned and anyone trying to convince me otherwise, I’ll assume they have an agenda. Good day.

My gf and I both WFH so we are looking for at least 4BR. Both snipped so all the space is just for us and the cats.

Timing the market *successfully* is far better than time in the market. The problem is just about nobody times the market successfully consistently. So I take it as more of a "you could be wrong," or "you could be *right* but wrong about *when*." Figure a target allocation, and that's home base. Then be willing to shift a bit from it given market conditions. How much you're willing to shift depends on risk appetite, how reasonable your takes are, etc. But it doesn't have to be huge. Like back in 2021, the fed repeatedly indicated that they were going to be raising rates *a lot*. So maybe you shift away from growth towards value, or away from companies holding massive amounts of debt towards companies on more solid financial footing. Not like liquidating your portfolio, just... moving stuff around a bit, or allocating new contributions towards value, whatever. You're just reducing risk in the short term, and if you're wrong, you're still doing fine. Then 2022 hits and growth takes a shellacking and starts to look like an opportunity, so you start shifting back towards growth. Or maybe back at the start of covid, you start looking for things that would benefit from it -- WFH, delivery services, teleconferencing, etc. Then Zoom goes up like 500% in under a year and MS starts getting around to stepping on them by shoving Teams down everyone's throat, so you get out with a tidy profit. At least that's kind of what I try to do -- beat the market by a few percent without taking any drastic actions.
