The only people complaining are middle managers. If everyone stays home, they don’t have anyone to micro manage. That’s pretty much the definition of their jobs. That, and paper pusher.
@Karina Z - If you can do your job from your home, then someone can do your job from their home in Bangalore--and for a lot less money than it costs to pay you.
My job is 100% remote. I am 23 and work in tech sales. A lot of jobs now, you actually have to be skilled vs gossiping your way into a position. My job allows me to meet up in person with my co workers when I want, move across the country, and have a vibrant social life.
Such a privileged conversation. The two journalist went to Columbia and Harvard and talked about their internships at NYT and NYDailyPost, like being in office is the resin they are successful vs going to elite colleges and having a family who could support them when they were May little to no money.
Honestly, I find myself willing to work longer hours when I’m at home because I don’t have to factor other things like traffic or commute time into my day. When work ends I just move to a different room in my house. I also tend to start my day earlier than when I am in the office. It’s also more beneficial because I have more lunch options at home than I do in the office and can eat healthier.
As a computer programmer, the biggest impediment, to getting my job done, was endless useless meetings. They mostly seemed a way for middle managers to prove their worth, as they wasted the time of productive programmers. I started drawing flow charts, and writing psuedo-code, during meetings, so that my time wasn't wasted listening to idiots talk about useless metrics, and projections that never came true. Now that people attend meetings over Zoom, you can actually get work done, debug code and such, while self important fools drone on. Who would want to go back to the office, and have your time wasted?
@Deborah Freedman - If you can do your job from anywhere your home is, then someone can do your job from their home in Bangalore--and for a lot less money than it costs to pay you. The boss is smart enough to realize this and smart enough to know that you're not smart enough to think like a future boss. So since you're not executive material, why not send your job to Bangalore and save some money?
Sounds like a bunch of lazy workers with no wider business sense. Do you think it's smart to convince your employer that you can do your job from your home when that puts you in competition with every worker in the entire world who can do your job from their home too--and for a lot less cost to your employer. Oh, I know: no one in Bangalore can do your job as well. That' category of belief is termed "Optimism bias."
I work at a company that's 100% remote and have been pre-COVID. We function perfectly fine. Maybe we just need fewer old people that don't understand how life with technology works. (:
15 years ago you weren't allowed to work from home. The advancement of technology plus the pandemic gave us the option depending on what job you have to work at home.
My husband and I worked for competing dedicated word processor companies in the early 1980s. Both of us were able to write code and debug programs at home. I did most of my grad school work, from home, in the early 1990s by logging in virtually. In the late 1990s, I was authoring web sites, at home. In the early 2000s, we both did most of our work at home. Maybe you couldn't work from home in 2007, but I could, and did.
Hybrid option is awesome... Especially with the increased cost of gas. Two out three in. We don't see each other every day like we used to, but we do see each of our coworkers at least one day a week
I’ve got more work done than I ever wanted to do working from home. I feel more connected with coworkers through video chats than in person. I could not disagree more with this article.
If you think they are trying to tell us what to do then you need to learn how media works. The written piece and this coverage is meant to spark conversation and give opinions so that you may make your own conclusions. It encourages you to think critically and weigh options. Whether it affirms your beliefs or not find friends to talk about this with because it is something that affects some if not most Americans in the future. So stop trolling and make friends if you don’t have any.
100% WFH makes complete sense now depending on your industry. Huge cost savings, both on office space and individual commute, plus the commute time can get insane. Also helps with pollution. Have been WFH for years now, technology has changed.
I believe that even college grads do not even possess enough hard knocks real life experience for everyday functionality. Glued to a screen for 17 years and can’t hold an adult conversation & use basic grammar in a complete sentence.
IF YOU DON'T HIRE ME, I'LL SUE FOR DISCRIMINAITON! IF YOU DO HIRE ME, I'LL SUE YOU ANYWAY FOR DISCRIMINATION! Yeah, if I were an employer, I would think twice about hiring a woke college grad without a foot in reality
Totally depends on the type of work and how willing the company management is to adapt to employee engagement. Blanket statements do not make sense. I've had jobs that would have not been possible remote and currently in a job that went 100% remote.
No. Too many distractions and that whole pandemic thing. There are many ways to maintain team contacts and build professional relationships with different chat apps. Gas, commute time, QOL, inclusivity, diverse perspectives, improved mental health, and custom work environment are all reasons to continue with remote work. Offices are often tailored to extroverts, and introverts can find the environment difficult, which distracts their focus and can imoede their work/deliverables.
While I’m old and retired, almost everybody I know met their spouse and/or significant other at the office. Also many of us made lifelong friends with coworkers. It should be half and half with a combo of in office and telework.
I'm curious how many people have worked in a job where they tell you you can't collaborate with your coworkers, you can only communicate with the boss. And then HR expects everyone to get excited about their next pointless team building activity.
I see many valid points in the comments (except for trolls) it just depends on the individual and what they experienced in the office (or have not experienced yet) there’s good and bad on both sides. It’s nothing to attack one another over.
@@busterofcoviddeniers no, by the time water cooler conversations led to advances we were well into the 20th century. But, still before equal rights. Like how conservatives eant to go back to before black and women voting.
@@flamingoboot8874 Yeah, I doubt it. Most of the woke black females who go to college come from families with money. I'm sure they would find working with your hands to be sexist and degrading. But you're completely right- we need fewer woke liberal arts universities and more tech and vocational schools.
The unfortunate truth is even with forgiveness many recent college grads need to work from home, from multiple offices and part time at kfc or in Lowe's if they ever want to be out of debt. In fact the only way to have more debt mounded over you is to get sick in a republican state with anything but corona virus while unemployed. Our institutes are grand and without fault though.
Most people require some form of institutionalization. The beer and the balcony being 8 steps away can be highly distracting. People who are entirely self-motivated and focused are few ... especially in the 20 - 30 age group.
Hahahaha how much did she get paid to write that? Here is the problem, it's hard to be racist/bigoted/misogynistic when folks are working from home. Who's who after all...
