#nycspeaks2022 Share your ideas for bold actions the Mayor should take
I do believe working from home up to 3 days a week would be very beneficial mentally and emotionally do to the current situations, such as Covid, Anxiety of traveling , Depression and a break from the regular office building . Daily traveling into the office creates a lot of untouchable mental stress

I think that this is a good idea but must be done in a way to save the city money. We should consolidate offices and have workers share desk such as hoteling. This will help with the city's goal to reduce emission gas (carbon footprint) and save the city money. Many of the admin buildings are not owned by the city, so this can help reduce rent and utilities. In the summer time we work 4 days a week to have he building shutdown all together to save on AC and reduce the carbon footprint. This would save the city millions of dollars a year in rent leases. This would also help the city share resources from different agencies. Help run the city like a business and not a government agency that doesn't look to reduce cost. A lot of people are retiring we can use this to help the city grow better and use the resources to better the city for the people.
Agreed. We need to rethink the modern workplace - the hours, days and physical places. This is true especially for those of us who commute and sit in a windowless office for 8-9 hours a day. The old way of doing things is nonsensical and most importantly not sustainable.
