I don’t make editorial comments in my thrice-weekly newsletter …

… to which you should subscribe immediately because it’s both useful and free.
But this item from Friday’s report …

… demands some follow-up here, because as I’ve described before, this guy is a kind of idiot. He went on to tell CNBC that companies who don’t offer employees a live-anywhere lifestyle will be at a “significant disadvantage” in the future.
It’s one thing to offer flexibility, Brian. It’s another to describe a vision for your workforce in which all your employees are James Bond, traveling the world most of the time but coming back to HQ to get the occasional new assignment and to sexually harass Miss Moneypenny. (And those who don’t choose to live that impossible and empty lifestyle, are made feel like local yokels, who happen to work and live in “a commuting radius” around your offices.)
I know, all this is just my own failure to “hope we can open-source a solution” to the time-space continuum, and to human nature itself.
