Catalina Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 If you think about it, you are so much more productive these days with all of the high tech tools we have, you are still better off in the end if you lose power for a day a couple of times a year. Can't remember the last time I had to add paper to a binder or notebook, unjam a stapler, find a pen because mine ran out of ink... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontz Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I'm surprised any "tech" level company hasn't made the option to work from home a default by now. If your job is based on a browser, all you need is internet access and a VPN client (and power). Maybe this will be a learning lesson for your head honchos to get with the times.

Deephaven Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 <--has worked from home since 1999. Even non-tech companies have made the leap and productivity follows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 A company that can work under any environment gets my vote. At work we had back up plans with double redundancy (triple if you count just writing it out on paper). Only thing kept me from work was a blizzard.

DriftBusta Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Sold a couple CDs and transferred in a 700g portfolio with my cellphone, laptop and a couch this morning. Gonna start taking a week a month off soon, maybe 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalina Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 At my last job, the CEO didn't like us to work from home. He was pretty sure 'work from home' meant 'take most of the day off'. The pandemic proved him wrong. Five months into it, with everyone working from home (software company), releases were still happening on schedule, same level of issues with bugs (there will always be some), everyone got their work done. He did like to work from home himself a lot during the summer. Fact is, a work from home day for him was usually spent on his boat. Maybe that's why he didn't trust anyone else to do it. For lots of jobs today, we handle much less paper, most of our work is one with a screen and keyboard, there is no reason to be tied to an office every day. I get that people should show up on some days, communication can be better face to face. A staff meeting once a week can take care of that, and lots of companies could save lots of money on real estate leases for offices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, even though our sales and production actually went up, the owners/CEO still want people to come in now 3 days a week. I don't know what their thought process is, but it really has caused many people to quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding other jobs that allow the flexibility to WFH is a choice that I am sure terrorists do hate. Imagine having even more freedom and not having to drive and waste fossil fuels. It saves the wear and tear on our roads, cars and ourselves. It is a great thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK how good the internet reception is in the caves, training camps or while out fucking goats to work there. I'm not opposed to WFH but for the vast majority of jobs out there in the real world it isn't an option and some of the people whining about having to go back to their jobs sound like whiny cunts.

Snake Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 2 sides of the WFH camp... Wife worked from home for past 5 or more years. Started at 8 every day and worked well into the evening. Tried to get another WFHer fired due to decrease in productivity, not being at his computer, and pawning off work to others. Some thrive in the environment, some abuse the fuck out of it. That will never change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have the ability to work from home, why not let them? Sure, some can't, but it sure seems like the pros for EVERYONE outweighs the cons if it is possible. The money and resources saved, as well as time is huge. I know of one lady who would work from home from 8 to 5, then work at a tavern across the street from 7 to 10 because the tavern needed help. When she was forced to go back in to work, that changed and she had to quit the tavern. It cost the tavern money and her money from both fuel, time, and extra $$$ from the second job.
