What kind are you, Guv?That’s a dumb comment
I worked from home for the last 5 years.
I get up in the mornign. make my coffee, and I’m online. I usually get more done by 9AM that most in-house workers, because o one is bothering me.
Text messages are short and concise. I don’t have to spend 10 minutes walking down the hall and back to talk to someone.
And I usually put in 10 hours ore more. Because I am not wasting an hour getting ready and driving to and from work.
What kind are you, Guv?Agreed. Back to the office or fired.
“Remote work is BS.”
it depends upon the job and the employee
many customer service can work from home at least as well as in the office ... it saves time, gas, car depreciation, and most importantly unnecessary office space ... these folks can also be monitored the same as if in the office ... that’s a BIG win for everyone involved and many companies have been doing this very successfully for many years ...
another group that can work well from home are task-oriented, self-starting programmers who’ll be much more productive at home rather than in the office ... in the office, programmers can easily lose their concentration as co-workers CONSTANTLY interrupt them, stopping by for total BS ... however, this does NOT work for slackers and fakers, which should be got rid of anyway ...
I was never a fan of "remote work," but I transformed my company to a 100% remote work operation immediately after I saw how easy it was for Nazi government officials to impose draconian lockdown orders without any recourse on the part of business owners.
Now, I think any CEO in a company that has had staff working effectively from home for the last 2.5 years and is now forcing them back to an office is an absolute moron. Giving up an opportunity to save your staff countless hours of commuting time, in exchange for having those employees take on a sizable portion of the company's overhead expenses (office space, utilities, phone/internet service, etc.) is idiotic.
