Construction crews will soon widen I-10 between the Mississippi River and the I-12 interchange in Baton Rouge,

you probably think working more than 30 hours is a good thing too..Times have changed and employers that don't keep up will lose young talent..

you still have to get together for some face time once a week or month..

My point is that many jobs out there now, require an internet connection

Until employers realize that sitting at a desk in a cube is the same as sitting at your home office, traffic will suck for everyone..I know too many people that work for someone who equates butts in seats with productivity

It is a Louisiana thing for sure. Bosses in Texas and Georgia are much more likely to approve working from home at least some days a week.

My company has reinstated an initiative to get project groups together in one spot. They actually let go quite a bit of their remote employees if they refused to move closer to the main office.

There has to be a middle ground. Where people can work together sometimes and work from home others. Also, 4 ten hour days is another solution.

This 8-5 monday through friday at the office seems so outdated.

Feeder roads. Louisiana needs feeder roads.

Has there ever been consideration given to extending I-12?

Maybe route I-12 onto a new route starting around Denham Springs, that kind of loops around NBR, crosses the river somewhere around Scotlandville (wherever there is enough space given the plants), then cut back towards I-10 and merge around Grosse Tete?

Would take a lot of traffic off of I-10 that is headed between Texas and Mississippi. Would be kinda like a northern loop, but would not connect with I-10 on the east side, which means Ascension won't fight it.

The portion of current I-12 from the current split to Denham, or whereever the new road would start, would just become a freeway (maybe the Tiger Freeway)

You mean a loop?

Seems someone would have thought of that

I doubt them spending a ton on a new lease in Cypress Waters has anything to do with it

We moved HQ to an office park that has almost anything and everything you can think of.

I cannot do the WFH. I lose track of time and I have to be physically near my sites if shite goes wonky. An IP based attenuator doesn't solve all problems.
