Add The California Post on GoogleA Southern California beach was transformed into a mass remote work space Thursday after city officials initially told organizers to pound sand on future events.
Videos and photos from the event showed hundreds of remote workers ditching their desks for the sand, packing Law Street Beach in San Diego’s Pacific Beach neighborhood to soak up the sun while working remotely.

Some remote workers set up shop in fold-up beach chairs with laptops balanced on their laps, while others turned surfboards into makeshift desks as they logged into work from the sun-soaked shoreline. The beachside office even came stocked with bagels and coffee.

The event took place from 9 am to 12pm.

“We’ll wrap up the event with a quick community beach cleanup from 12:00–12:30 PM. If you’re able to stick around, we’d love to leave the beach better than we found it,” a message on Instagram about the event read.
In his video he noted that the “city of San Diego has officially overruled corporate America and legalized remote work.”
Muirhead celebrated the event after he said the city decided the meetups were okay.

“The event is going fantastic. We are legal this time and that’s a big win,” Muirhead told The California Post. “Between working from home or working from the beach I’m taking the beach every time.”
“This event works perfectly from San Diego. People from San Francisco keep reaching out so I think other beach towns want to try it.”

This week’s gathering happened to also fall on National Work from Home Day and was a welcomed opportunity for remote employees in the city to hit the beach and do some networking.
“I love working [at] the beach,” attendee Nadia Nowak said. “It’s the perfect way to start your morning, perfect way to start everyone’s meetings. You can’t beat this.”

“I recently moved here and it’s been my favorite thing being able to work outside by the ocean and be productive,” Lacey Mallow added.
“I work for Reef,” Steve Nass continued. “The company was born on the beach so what better way to be productive than to get work done on the beach.”
But the beach-vibe gathering was almost a thing of the past, after Muirhead’s event in March drew ire from city officials when trash was left on the beach after hundreds of people showed up.

Muirhead argued that it wasn’t his group that left the litter, but the city said future events would be sidelined unless he forked over money for permits, per the Times of San Diego.
“Organized events at Parks and Recreation facilities with more than 49 participants require a permit,” city spokesperson Benny Cartwright said, noting that permits can include fees, insurance mandates, security requirements, and other conditions depending on the size and nature of the event.
He later met with city officials who he said gave the green light for future shoreline events.

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband (above, right, in 2010) is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts
But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
