As long as you get your work done.
As long as you get the work done, but this is a slippery slope also are you actually disconnecting what happens when firms say well. Our world of work is flexible enough that you can vacation in between work now they start removing a compensation of PTO because now it’s flexible this is another point with unlimited PTO that I’m against, it’s just a way for them to F you over and give you additional compensation. Overall, I do agree as long as you get the work done doesn’t matter, but what does a bigger picture look like once corporations try to exploit this as they always do.
The problem is the commute and the expectation to live in a high rent area. The idea regarding remote work for me isn't to play around, but to cut my expenses.
Exactly right! I do my job well. If I can continue to do it well remotely from anywhere, than I'm moving somewhere with more affordable cost of living.
When COVID happened, we were all sent home and noticed an increase in productivity. I'm a team lead and think it is because there are less side conversations.
Yes. I'm so glad water cooler culture is finally dead. The system is changing, albeit at an excruciatingly slow pace.
Less side conversations, less stress, and less exhaustion.
@@animezinglife9627as you piggyback on the ones that have to show up to work while you’re too busy vacationing *cough I mean working from home 🫢
Yep. Office gossip and workplace distractions.
I'd wish they have mini hotels in the parks, so you can rent a small room and take a nap mid trip.
They might just like that idea. Imagine what they can charge for that lol. Nice $300 nap lol.
Remote Work is the future. Accept it. Deal with it. Move on.
They're showing work, life, balance! It's a small world after all!
You know why parents aren't happy at amusement parks like Disney is because it costs so much money that you feel you must cram as much into the day as you can. And that makes you tired and frustrated!!
Yes. I love working from my country home. With Starlink, that can be anywhere on earth (literally).
As long as the employee isn't exposing trade secrets, intellectual property, company finances, work product, client personal information, or employee personal information whilst tracking the states in which they work for appropriate tax reporting, it's a grand idea.
Would you want your attorney's or accountant's laptop stolen with your personal information on it? Want someone to glance over and take a screenshot of your taxes? Your paycheck? A company's marketing strategy? Source code?
Yes, a happy employee is a more productive employee. The company has to consider much more than work deliverables when considering working remotely.
It's doesn't matter. As long as the deliverables and expectations are meet who the hell cares.
Bingo. I don't understand why people are so opinionated about this topic. STFU and mind your own business.
Well that’s the slippery slope. Currently all my coworkers and myself are tired of being overworked because we have to cover for these so-called “Work from Home” employees that are mainly composed of supervisores and managers and are using work time to vacation. They set the standards of what the bare minimum is and we have to cover them for slacking off. Guess who’s the one that’s getting paid poorly (surprise, it’s not the remote workers for sure). It’s only a matter of time till we start calling out the BS and another resignation movement will happen because of the poor leadership of these remote workers.
@@eos_2366You're company seems short staffed if you're still doing work for workers doing work remotely. That work should be measured too!
If Tower of terror keeping you from coming back; then take a relaxing ride like dumbo, even the Peter Pan ride is nice! Disneyland is nice but expensive
One thing not brought up is privacy. If you work in a regulated industry like healthcare or finance, you can't be on public wifi.
Don't most companies have you log into a VPN to address that?
@@kwill215 Many times, they'll even geo-lock you to a specific region, so no working overseas, have to live in the service area, etc. People have this misconception of what WFH actually is.
@@TheyRiseBand wow that's crazy. Never heard that - thanks for the insight
So be on private wifi.
Not that difficult
Called vpn, every company uses it.
Ken wants you in a dark damp basement with a "leader" overlooking your work. 9-5 six days a week and you better show up early and stay late. Workers aren't supposed to have lives by the way. Do the leaders show up at your home as well?
Ken is a young curmudgeon, hopelessly chained to the outdated 9-5 system and advice Ramsey Group pedals. His job depends on it.
What you will find with most comments is, it's not about getting the work done and being productive, it's jealousy because all these are white collar professions. Blue collar and face to face service workers do not like this regardless of whether the work is getting done.
It should be up to your employer. If you get your work done and they approve then so be it.
I’m with Ken here. Worked in two different companies post COVID and let me tell you, the only ones that work from home are supervisors, managers, and HR. The truth is we are being taken advantage of, paid poorly, and have to frequently cover remote workers slacking off because they want to vacation, but not work for it. My department requires hands on works, but those “working from home” leave early when the work isn’t even done and when they come back next day, they start where they left off making a ton of errors along the way. I’m calling it as it is, this generation of remote workers lack work ethics and suck.
If companies have no way of measuring productivity online, then that's their problem. Chances are, they don't measure productivity on site either so it doesn't matter what their employees do all day whether they be in the office or remote.
@@cordfortina9073 the productivity is measured based on how streamlined production is on that day. If we meet our goal, we all get the credit, regardless of who’s working remotely or who’s working on site. In my specific field, you can’t do anything remotely because data are produced in a lab, not at home. What’s the goal of remote workers then? To just monitor and have someone reported to you while you’re at the gym getting paid 6 figures and everyone else is getting paid 70% less than you do? Note I was high up in my last company but I saw the BS of remote working of my peers, going to concerts and gyms on their time not the company’s time and hour of operations which is what they’re paying you for.
There was a linked in post that had a guy in nature saying life isn’t meant to be in the office always . Or something like that .
Idk - how about you just go to Disney and enjoy Disney - aka a Vacation? The first guy just realized he could go to Disney and get some work done. But then he’s just thinking about “where can I sit here and work?” Just… keep vacation as vacation. This smells of burn-out. Yeah I’m probably jealous but I think if you are thinking about working then you aren’t either A - enjoying yourself and relaxing or B - actually focusing on your work. Too many people think they can multitask when, in fact, they cannot. I know the older I get the less I really can and my work suffers when I’m interrupted or thinking about too many other things. I need the focus.
I understand the fine line there. Maybe younger folks can do this, then there are no family obligations per say. But contrary to your point, some workers can relax on the beach and do there job, while other beach goers are there for a vacation.
You can bring your own food into Disney
You have to, given what they pay.
huh really?
@@lionheart93 yes, you just can't take glass, silverware, alcohol, etc. I'm not sure what the precise rules are but we took sandwiches, fruit, cheese sticks, and granola bars in our backpacks.
I think that as long as your job responsibilities allow you to work remotely, you should absolutely be allowed to. You need to get your work done. I feel that workers that can work from a theme park shouldn't flaunt it in front of colleagues who may not be able to do their jobs remotely or others who couldn't afford to do this. Also, it does blur the line between work hours and off hours, so you and your employer should absolutely have boundaries where you can turn off, too.
2 points (for me), Disney is a park built for adults, not kids at all!! Way too big and crowded for kids lol. And 2nd, you can DEFINITELY bring your own food into the parks - money saver
It’s idiots like this will slowly lead to the end of remote and hybrid work. Those of us that love what we do don’t need to go to Disney or some similar such distracting place. How on earth can you get work done there?
We like our flexibility to work in the office or at home and not have to burn sick/PTO time if your kids are sick etc., you can just stay home and work.
A lawyer probably isn’t worried about spending $30-50/day while working at Disney. But I’m also not sure if he can work there every day because it requires a reservation. Perhaps with the most expensive pass it’s possible to reserve every single weekday.
Ken must be a bag of fun with kids. Run the other way kids, run like hell.
You can bring in food if cost is a concern, I live in Orlando, and I do it occasionally, but I prefer the resort hotels, hang around there, and grab a bite and enjoy the venue.
The company Fired him Shortly after.
Source?
I wonder if work productivity increases at Chuck E. Cheese as well or maybe the movie theater and arcade
So why not just pack your lunch and go to a quiet office. Must be hard finding a comfortable work spot that’s quiet for calls and meetings. No way they can be productive.
if u using a company cell or laptop than that company (IT Dept) will find out where you r working at!
You can bring your own food in.
I wonder if people won't be forced to work from "anywhere" at some point. The United States is incredibly expensive. My husband and I don't want to retire, although we would like to slow down a bit. We've talked about living abroad. We are both self-employed, and a decrease in the cost of living would be a huge deal for us.
We're seeing geo-arbitrage happening, already. Many San Diegans live in Mexico and commute across the border, to save on living expenses. Same thing happening across the US -- people living in one state and commuting to another, to save on costs. I lived in Vancouver, WA for a while (no income tax) and would shop across the river in Portland, OR (no sales tax). Now, I live in rural WA, to save on costs.
Disney adults are weird.
There, I said it.
Yeah...I would have concern about company privacy and personal identifiable information being exposed in large areas. But, I guess if that was a concern, the company should've already put a measure in for that.(I work for the state. My state computer can't connect to wifi. I have to use an ethernet cord and my state cell-phone is a flip phone the weight of one of those old nokias).
I work remote. Every call, text, email, and keystroke is tracked. So is every break. I have percentage measurements I have to meet on each of those, plus productivity in the form of appointments and sales. So there is absolutely zero free time during work hours. My manager can video conference me at anytime to make sure I am at my station. Plus, our company does not allow us to work from laptops. I have a large company-supplied monitor. So while I can travel to another location--it must be a home office like set up during work hours. The plus for the company is no rented office space, I can handle work from all of our dedicated locations, I'm using my internet and paying for my own remote access tools--and they pay us less for the privilege of working remote. So we are a cost-saving tool for the company.
Omg your job sucks! I am so so sorry 😢 that is micromanagement at its best.
That sucks. Personally, I'd look for a different remote job that doesn't micro-manage. If everyone left, the company would probably start to get the clue and change its practices.
@@athan4752 Plus, many companies, especially in sensitive industries like Healthcare, geo-lock people to living in the states in which they operate. But yeah, these comments about people not being tracked and unproductive just aren't true for the vast majority of WFH jobs.
@@TheyRiseBandof course they can't enforce that if you are connecting to a VPN through a personal router
A question came to mind as I was listening. Are they able to get all their work completed quickly because they are really competent at their job/role, or do they not have enough work to keep them occupied during the workday? If the first part is true, I say great. They are a really good asset to have and how can I replicate this to other areas within my org? If the second part is true, do I need a full-time employee to fill that role or are there other job duties that could be added? I understand that most white-collar professionals aren't 100% busy the entire workday and that it would be counterproductive to the type of work they perform.
Your metrics get disrupted in the office with everyone coming to your desk with in important non work related topics because they are bored at their desk .
how do I find a job in this dead job market? I graduated a month ago and I have $77,000 in student loans as well as a 7 month old son and nothing seems to work. I have just been doing Uber to get by, but it's not really working anymore. it's too oversaturated. I need a real job making real money
Look into becoming an electrician.
@@cordfortina9073 that would take years. I don’t have years
Yup he should be fired, and it’s also super weird that he wants to do that.
Kelly is pro family & pro America. Promote her.
I for one am looking forward to being the first kid on my block that not only sells enablement AI software to DARPA but, to also relocate to Tokyo, Japan to continue to do so.
parents who live for their kids love Disney World. Besides, what sane person goes to Disney World to be miserable? Yes, there are plenty of them there.
There is no way they are being more productive than someone focused on working.
Not true, unless you're working some bullshit techbro job with no accountability (they do exist). Most WFH jobs are rigorously monitored. Look what happened with Wells Fargo, recently -- they just fired people for using mouse jigglers. Many require you to be on camera all day, etc.
I’ll be more productive on a roller coaster with a cell phone than half my boomer idiot coworkers that can’t figure out how keep up with email after 30 years
@@DoodleHats valid point
If I was the boss, I’d say sure you can work from Disneyland….But I’m only paying you for the time you spent working. The second you stop working and go on rides, you are off the clock and I’m not paying you for that.
The rides only last for a few minutes. He can work during the hours of standing in lines if he finds a comfortable way to do so.
Why you gotta be so sexist when talking about which parent might need to squeeze in some work while the rest of the family waits in line?
Yes work from everywhere is due to technological advances. Keynes said with tech we should have 10hour work weeks by now.
Keynes said a lot of things, many of which didn't work out as expected. Government spending, for one.
If they are filming something for likes and clicks expected it to be a staged lie.😂
Part time work, full time heavy pay. Your fired!
