The Office Redesign Has Only Just Begun | WSJ 

no bonus for u

If you are working on a cubicle, why aren't you working from home?

Matheus Santos that’s so true! ... didn’t think about that aha

Matheus Santos, free coffee

@@seidenada526 Coffee are for closers!

Tbh I don't have a huge problem with that.

@The Informaticist you are mostly right but i don't know if that's true for every industry

@The Informaticist I think it's positive. I struggled to work at home though. I don't have the same equipment which I have at work at home. There were also more distractions and I felt like in working by myself I'm not being held accountable for not being distracted

@Celtic Orthodox Prayer then control your kids Asians don't have this problem since they discipline their kids

@@cocoacoolness Most of that equipment is available on Amazon. Also, you’re an adult - you cannot hold yourself accountable ?!?

nobody knew that term of yours a few months back. strange world

@paula I've been working from home since before the pandemic. never saw someone referring to it in a short form like you have. I guess you're right though.

Since march 21st

My job made it permanent

My company is officially working from home until sometime in 2021.

Hi 👋🏻

no bonus for you...

That should be required by law.

@@luddity that's an incredibly ignorant statement

Panda-Panda-Panda. I got broads in Atlanta... oh, camera... *Shrugs

That’s because this is owned by CHINA...

CHINA owns all the pandas in the world... panda camera=CHINA OWNED CAMERA

It’s called subliminal messaging

lol

Not all businesses sectors can. Real estate offices have closings at their business. Manufacturing can’t be done from home and people on the office side, like engineers, need to be onsite. I’m a chemist who’s a manager in an environmental testing lab. Can’t do testing in your home kitchen and as a manager I need to be onsite to offer guidance on problems that arise along with doing a variety of tasks related to get results to a client that can only be done in the office because it contains classified information. What about engineering firms that does classified work for the government? That information can’t be done from home. Every retail store has an office to conduct work that responds to needs that arise throughout the day. How do they work from home? Office staff at a doctor’s office can’t work from home. How does a receptionist check in patients remotely or update patient information or answer billing information? HIPPA laws don’t allow patient information to leave an office or be used on a ordinary internet system. Schools can’t permanently work from home. Courts can’t continue to only perform urgent tasks. Grand juries have to meet. Many criminal cases haven’t been able to move forward for this reason. The FBI, CIA and Intel community can’t work from home. Nor can the other agencies like Treasury or State Department.

@@deeinfl5600 Classified info does travel in the internet, some of them even can be leaked from office (employee memorizing things at last stance). The limits are on regulations. I can share a result with a patient and do the check in from home without any info being shared externally. We already have a ton of digital auth tools, I can sign an official document and it's recognized by the government. Some places does voting by blockchain (congress in my country is voting from home). Soon a lot of positions will be replaced by robots, IoT and ML can do wonders in monitoring and predicting failures in factories for example.

They would rather spend billions to monitor our every move.

swegweg erg Today, there are more scientists, more funding for science, and more scientific papers published than ever before. The NIH gave over $42B in scientific grants in 2019 for a near record high. More research papers have been published in the US in the past 4 years than any time in the US. While working from home is cheaper for companies, salaries are going to go down for employees. Zuckerberg has already made that announcement for Facebook. Salaries for employees working only remotely will be based on where they will be living. This will eventually trend across the country in all sectors. He said that in a video conference on May 23. He said, quite accurately, people will get a $178,000 salary and move to a rural location where cost of living is significantly lower. Real estate agents are already seeing this trend in the shutdowns in much of the mid west. People are buying homes sight unseen from major cities making high salaries who are now going to be working from permanently home as a result of the pandemic. Also knowing the government they will find a way to justify a new tax for those working from home eventually.

Matheus Santos I can’t email or use WiFi from Comcast for classified information between my company and the government entity which the businesses contracts with. HIPPA laws are very specific on how information is stored and what can be viewed in patient portals. It requires very specific authentication requirements and cyber security. Through the first half of June of 2019, 25 million patient records have already been breached. Many of these breaches have been caused by hackers, who sell patient records on the black market and dark web. This is why I never use them. AI will be a wave in the future but engineers will still need to be onsite to make real time changes and decisions. False alarms occur regularly and actual inspections need to occur to override the problem or in the case of a problem come up with a solution to address the issue. I wouldn’t want a computer to make the sole decision at a nuclear reactor or NASA while astronauts are in space.

The Wall Street Journal just did an article on how businesses don’t think remote learning isn’t sustainable because training people and getting projects done are taking much longer.

@@deeinfl5600 I totally agree with you. Not all jobs can be done remotely. Thanks for broadening my view!

Sarfraz Ahmed You’re welcome. Glad working from home is working out for you but not feasible for most of the country’s offices.

RXR wasted millions of dollars trying to save a dying trend. That money should been reinvested into new management training ideas to better assist teams to stay productive at a distance. Honestly, virtual reality conferences is the future. Not ultra expensive air management systems or super inefficient space remodels. Also clients no longer have the same need to be visiting consultants in person.

@@deeinfl5600 this is about offices... Not manufacturing

Lol same. Toxic people have way much of an impact with work from home. For the most part can only bully someone on a group call or via chat and both have footprints. Even a 1:1 call you can easily record. I love not having to see the faces of some of the narcissists and sociopaths at work.

Amen! It was so exhausting. I’m getting so much more work done. But wouldn’t mind 1-2 days in the office for the social aspect.

No one will see people smile any more 😓

K mobsie yeah trying being a Muslim woman...

@@camerontaylor7471 valid point.

You seem to be a skilled valuable employee. Why don’t you demand that from your boss yourself?

Aren’t you already paying 100% of your bills with money that you get from your employer lol Why do you need to tell your employer exactly how much your electric cost, they’re already paying you for it.

Ryan Hollis Okay, but you weren’t at home running utilities up before the pandemic. Utilities are a lot more expensive now that you’re home 24/7.

100% agree! And the Hybrid model is perfect for those that "have to" come to the office for client meetings, equipment usage, etc.

I think they are just being innovative. Trying to stay relevant and keep tenants

People can’t stay home forever and get paid unemployment. Even with a vaccine it won’t be 100% effective. The flu vaccine is only 40-60 percent effective depending on the strain. The vaccine doesn’t eliminate Covid and it has mutated into 6 major strains so far. The longer it’s around the more it mutates. What’s your solution?

This video showcases how offices may change in response to COVID, *and stay that way.* The point is that these changes may be here to stay, long after COVID is stopped.

lol

They love tradition 9 to 5 office

employers does not trust they are actually working. thats why they need offices for controlling

Ronaldo Rivers it’s a good time to work in cybersecurity. My company is a charity with a significant portion of the staff being based on site due to the nature of their work, but the vast majority of the office based staff pivoted to working remotely, with those of us in IT Operations vastly accelerating all the programs and systems we had in the works to enable that to happen securely in a variety of ways, including people using whatever equipment they already had at home, with safety controls in place to protect company data, even if we don’t control the machines themselves the way we would do in a normal enterprise network based in an office. There’s a lot of technology out there to facilitate good cybersecurity for remote working now, and it’s a great opportunity to put it into practice.

Cloud dominated systems have made the, "company network" mostly obsolete. What network resources still need to be accessed that can't be facilitated with cloud services? Cloud file storage, web based ERP ect.

Cheap Skate the real problem is the fact that there are going to be no job openings for any of those sectors... it’s almost like the real lockdown was your current workplace... either the company/career you have now stays or you got fired...

Plexiglass makers and installers will rake in the cash.

We’d have to be hovering everywhere tho. We can’t even touch the ground then.

yeah use brain to computer interfaces so you can type with your brain lol

Lauren this will be a reality within 20-30 years. There’s a company working on this right now, Nervelink(?).

Neura link!

@@christianjvi yep, I follow a lot of Elon Musk's projects so I'm aware of neuralink :) exciting times we live in

I didn’t laugh a single time. Not even a light chuckle.

I totally agree with you. Very sad that it took a pandemic for Corporate Real Estate teams to shy away from the disgusting 'Chicken Coop' models they were pushing down our throats as 'Worplace of the Future'

Probably because the consequences were not as dramatic as in a pandemic.

I agree... all of the attempts to reduce and control coronavirus spread is almost futile... it’s either you have a strong healthy immune system that keeps the virus asymptomatic within the host... or you suffer and possible die... take care of yourself people! ... that’s why a raw vegan diet is best!

I mean, it does flower the likelihood of contamination by hundreds of times. It's not as much about stopping infections everywhere and instead more of lowering the infection rates to the minimum.

Most offices don't need to exist. This one in the video is pretty useless.

@@momosgarage And it is so sad.

If that CEO can tell a virus where it can and cannot go, we need to bring him to South Africa, we are experiencing our rise in cases

By recent office behaviour, staff generally keep it on when talking to a colleague, or if there's someone working on the 2M perimeter. Take it off if there nobody close by, or while speaking on the phone, and certainly while sipping from one's own mug or snacking. Plus, when walking out to a balcony or outdoor terrace for a smoke, or just a break.

I hate it! And it covers the entire face framing the eyes and can make you look older/tired if you have any wrinkles or puffiness...

new normal... new rules ... new businesses ... new joint ventures ... new world order... a lot more to see

We need that for other places too like grocery stores

Everyone will be vibrating as they walk in/out of the building, down the halls, in the bathroom stalls, etc. I can see a lot of irritated people working in these places. Buzzing set people on edge.

Some manual labour can be done by robots. The lack of investment limit or to big companies. The remaining work, health care and cosmetic treatment for example, will need a ton of PPE and sanitation, as always needed.

@@imnotbreno Exactly, some are focusing only on what we are doing right but more focus should be on what we know should be done but isn't being done due lack of funds, will etc.

Depends on how strong they are. Excess strong Uv exposure is like staying outside in the sun too long or using a sunbed.

So then how does a workplace function for those two days a week...

@@camerontaylor7471 I personally don't even work in an office 😂. I was really just throwing an opinion out there. Im assuming you disagree and offices should all return as they once were ?

Not really, gensler which is the firm in this video cut alot of workers. I work in architecture, and we are seeing layoffs, and salary cuts. It especially brutal for any recent grads. Big firms like gensler will survive, like all corporate firms. While the small firms that actually produce unique work that i would call architecture might close. If you go to archinect or reddit you can see various post about mass layofgs
