Remote Work vs. In Office with Bethenny Frankel & Kevin O'Leary | Money Court 

"I want them to have that same passion we have" That's impossible unless you share ownership stake with your employees. No one is going to have the sheer passion for a company that an owner has.

Well my offer is if you're not giving me remote/hybrid work then I won't even apply for your company.

It is not hard to train remotely. I do it alllllllll the time. I see it in all kinds of job postings “ Must be computer literate “ problem solve my dude

I will never work full time in an office again. It is awful and I am much more productive at home

Remote!! Nobody wants to see goofy people everyday or ever if it can be helped! Office politics, gas, sitting in traffic! My days already ruined before I get to work..

As a Manager, I would always prefer to allow remote work accommodations. Imagine how much better our US economy can be. It will allow people with limited capacities that would normally be getting a monthly check from the state to allow them to work from their home and instead put back into the system. There are so many talented individuals that are either bed or wheel chair bound that can add to the dynamic of the US economy. I know this would affect the commercial real estate investor but with such a homeless population, those buildings can be converted to housing that will allow people to get back on their feet. In my honest opinion, the role of middle management is going the route of the abacus... in their time they were needed, now with the progressive technology, a team can self police themselves without all that unnecessary hierarchy and instead have one Manager handling all the Depts.... that is if the technology being used can support the necessary to view and manage teams.

remote work is the future....in-person work is outdated idea (and a waste of time in commute, etc.)....

Not applicable for every field of work, But, for example in the world of marketing or sales, how about you compensate based on performance. If the worker stays home, the concern is they slack off. Well, if they are crunching out sales at home more so than their counter parts at the office, then who cares Vice versa, if the person at the office needs an actual work place away from home distractions, well there you have it, they can crunch out sales while at the office. Pay based off results, not location. If the person at home is truly a slacker, the sales and numbers will reflect that when compared to an in person office position. And simply just fire the home person.

As a developer I will never go back to the office full or part time. If you want to hire me, it better be full remote - period. I don’t mind coming in for special events, or the occasional business travel. But I will NEVER sit in a cube farm week in and week out ever again. Life is too short. And if I can do my job remotely, then I will work remotely. If my company were to call me back to the office - then I’ll quit. Many of my fellow IT professionals feel the same way. Why there is a debate over this is boggles my mind. It’s like debating whether or not employees should be compensated for their work. The agreement between the employer and employee is private and I don’t care what people think of me working remotely.

Way more productive at home than in an office, I get so much more work done and more accruately as well! Offices are in the past

Those two guys are so fake it sounds scripted the entire thing sounds fake

Pay me enough money to have enough passion.

Bro wtf😂😂. No way this is nonsense. They are here for free exposure.

Nowadays there is more work to be done then skilled professionals. So, at least in IT, you can choose to work where ever you want. Why should I choose a workplace that forces me drive every day? The only thing I get put of this is that I end up with is being stuck in traffic all the time and the costs for the commute. I feel like that companies who don't get that, will become irrelevant in the near future because they simply don't find anyone who's willig to work there or because they won't get the top talents but just the rest that nobody else wants 🤷‍♂️

She sounds she not up to date with the trends in workers now. I work from home. I thrive. I am lucky enough the company I work for you can choose office, hybrid or fully remote. But if you are giving bonuses on people at the office that is just not right. Your need of micromanage does not equal that people wfh do nothing.

soo taskrabbit..

So when they send your jobs over seas you showed them how

that’s so interesting

What episode is this

I would vote for the hybrid model. But my question would be in regards to pay. Do you establish a standard pay based on position, credentials and experience and then adjust pay based on cost of living for where each person is located? For example, standard pay for a developer is X. If that developer lives in New York City then they get paid more than X based on an accepted cost of living calculation. If a developer of the same grade lives in the rural south then they just get paid X.

I love Money Court! I love Kevin O’Leary in general.

In my company, the employees who WFH are secretly ghosting coasting and doing several jobs, quiet quitting and bullshitters ... some of them are doing 3-4 jobs making a grand total of $200K. They don't even respond to emails, voicemails and texts immediately ... so, these days my company no longer beg them to come back to the office, but instead, just LAYOFF them.

As usual, I agree with Bethenny!
