Description:

N275CM (the following plane) is a Cirrus Vision Jet a plane that only hit production in 2016 and is a really cute single engine jet that seats 6 and will cruise at 300kts up to 31,000ft. It also includes the CAPS parachute system that Cirrus is famous for in the SR20 and SR22 planes but this is in a jet, which is pretty cool. N678HC is a Cessna Grand Caravan which is pretty common around here, AKA the Cessna 208B. No offense Hotel Charlie, but it s the jet I m drooling over. I m guessing they were doing a photo shoot. It was a gorgeous day out here, at golden hour, with a roughly 6000ft broken cloud base, mostly sunny. Cirrus has offered the Garmin Emergency Autoland system in these jets, as part of the G3000 avionics system, since 2020. It will determine if a pilot has been incapacitated, notify ATC, and automatically land the plane. Welcome to the future!Recent remarks of numerous chief executives suggest the culture of workplace face time remains alive and well. At The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit this month, JP Morgan Chase Co.’s Jamie Dimon said remote work doesn’t work well “for those who want to hustle.” Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon has called it “an aberration that we are going to correct as soon as possible.WeWork CEO Sandeep Mathrani—whose business relies on office space—sparked an uproar on social media and beyond after he said employees who are “uber-ly engaged” with their companies would want to go to the office at least two-thirds of the time. So did the CEO of Washingtonian Media, which publishes Washingtonian magazine, when she wrote in an opinion piece that business leaders had a strong incentive to change the status of staffers who are rarely in the office from full-time to contractor.”Wall Street Journal May 23, 2021Lets face it, most leaders are manipulative. If you ve ever been part of a group being led by someone, you ve experienced it. A common example is the reframing of your views that starts with the phrase: The reality is that . And you are surprisingly receptive to that kind of direct manipulation because you realize it s one way to get it done. So you allow that utterly nonsensical phrase to wash over you as you align yourself with the team and focus on the task at hand. But fuck that. We re individuals with our own preferences. Sovereign individuals if you like. A better way to persuade thinkers is to assume they re at least as intelligent as you are, trim away the cliched propaganda, and tell it like it is: Here s where we re headed, this is why, this is how we re going to get there, this is what you re contributing and this is your reward and skin in the game. At this point we ve all read Cialdini, Kahneman, Dawson and friends and we know the game so we shouldn t have to put up with it.So why do we? Lets parse Jamie Dimon: Remote work doesn’t work well “for those who want to hustle.”: I m introducing you to a word Hustle This word is framed to sound like personal ambition and to describe someone who is goal orientedHaving you think of it that way works for us because It stimulates a competitive response in you. Do I have hustle ? When in fact what we re seeking is controlWe get that by putting you in an office environment where we can monitor your availability and behavior and modify both with inducements and enticementsWe want you to think that to have hustle i.e. ambition and goal focus, you should want to work in an office We re also implying that the opposite is true of those who work remotely If office workers have hustle then remote workers must be slackers or a similar antonym So by wanting to work remotely, you must not be ambitious, not be goal focused and are probably a slackerAnd we won t hire or retain you unless you comply with our requirement that you work in an office and buy into this idea that winners work in an office and losers work remotely. This is obviously bullshit because knowledge workers who put in a full 8 hour day are extremely productive no matter where they are, as long as the environment works for them personally. But Dimon has done a great job of casting the reality distortion field far and wide with a single phrase.I find myself both excited and relieved by these utterances because our team is 100% remote and it has been a competitive advantage for us in hiring. Having companies that employ tens of thousands go back to the office lets us retain that competitive advantage. Go Jamie!Goldman CEO David Solomon just takes it head on by saying that remote work is an aberration that we are going to correct as soon as possible. Solomon is so myopic he doesn t realize that for most of human history we haven t clustered in the human infestations we call cities and the labor megaclusters we call offices. It is the office that is a post industrial revolution aberration. For most of human history we have worked as individuals, families or in small groups. The Internet has enabled us to return to our unaberrated state of living where we want, spending our time with who we want and doing what we love on our own terms. Goldman will come around as their recruiters find it hard to compete with rational companies who are focused on outcomes rather than overlords. Mathrani said employees who are “uber-ly engaged” with their companies would want to go to the office at least two-thirds of the time. He is CEO of WeWork who, surprise, rents office space where they use cringe to try to make an office appear hip. Anyway, at this point you get the idea. Mathrani signaling you re a loser if you re a remote worker and fully engaged if you rent their office space with their skate ramp that ll never feel the pleasure of a skateboard truck grinding that rail, but will instead stare longingly out the window of a high-rise at an urban landscape filled with skate rats that it will never experience. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep at night thinking of that ramp.Lets dispense with the bullshit, the mind games, the doublespeak and the manipulation. The reality is that
