It’s likely working from home is here to stay-for some workers, at least. But this “new normal” will have long-term implications for the relationship between employers and employees-from tax, to employment law, to physical and mental health.

Why would companies do a pay cut when they are benefiting from the savings in office rental? Pay cut should be tied to performance, not physical distance.

The companies profit from the savings on amenities and it has been proven that home office is more efficient than working in the office in the majority of cases. Based on that I do not understand the narrative of taxing home office workers.

Pay is tied to cost of living in the area. You move to a cheap area so your pay gets cut because you don't need as much to live on.

As a person with disabilities, (in a country that has generally poor accessibility) I was already on flex-time before the pandemic. Initially, my employers reduced my pay when I started to work flex-time. After a few months it was realized that my productivity had not suffered from the arrangement; I was reinstated to full pay. With the coming of pandemic, I am basically working from home full time. It would have been interesting to see how persons with disabilities are faring in the work place in a world a world gone remote. Do they face the same stigmas? Has the need for more people to work remotely made it any better for them, or is it limited to those who 'lift mentally'?

@nabhanyushetti9872 3 года назад

I agree. The non-work interactions to me feel like they will go down simply and a lot of social bonds are built during those nonwork times. If we try to call someone it's usually with a purpose and seen as a waste of time if it does not fulfil that purpose. So I would think we would be forced to look at other avenues in our lives such as hobbies and clubs to try and substitute the work interactions. But I also think the work interactions were meaningful in a manner that the new interactions will not be able to capture

Personally I detest using work as a social club. I moved home from a city during the pandemic and I'm many times happier in my home town with family and real friends.

I think the companies that get it right will end up providing a range of flexible options from a full time desk, to a mix (one to four days per week) to full time remote. There are those who need the structure and the commute while some will want the flexibility to put some effort under the table, on a rainy Sunday, and enjoy a bit more of the sun on a working weekday. Companies that run on project work, where effort against milestones is easily measured, are going to be better suited to flexible condition since they are mainly measuring a worker based on allocated work, timeframe and quality of output (in other words seeing the work getting done without necessarily caring when/how). Hard not to feel for those at the bottom of the ladder though - I don’t see how anyone mentoring fresh starters can be 100% WAH.

Guys, you need to remember that small and medium enterprises are the largest providers of jobs not large firms.

I'm curious, does permanent WFH also mean you can do it anywhere in the world? If I'm a high paying web developer in California and I move out of state to a place with dirt cheap living costs, isn't that violation state wages, state tax and Federal tax?

@TheGreatBeheado 3 года назад

If you move somewhere cheaper your wages are adjusted accordingly 😂

Why there has to be legislation about remote work? Can just employees and employers decide based on their specific conditions?

@hgzmatt 2 года назад

It's always the bare minimum to protect those who can't negotiate for all kinds of reasons including inexperience.

i really wonder how the average Finn would react to working in an average American job. I can't imagine their jobs are nearly as hard driven. I feel like here with the tight deadlines and ungodly expectations for productoivity, work/life balance sometimes really isn't an option.

8:09 How can you compare countries such as Luxembourg vs. Germany? The former has literally no industry and can easier work from home. It's like comparing Fox News vs. Economist :-)

@rebekahengal7281 3 года назад

Consider making the video calmer, the background music and the quick cuts and editing are difficult to watch and take away from the information conveyed. I stopped half way through.

@hgzmatt 2 года назад

I mean if you play along with that BS.. I sure wouldn't. At my last workplace we'd stick around for a bit to see if it comes back and when it didn't we'd get the rest of the day off. I guess it'd be fair to say you check in every hour to see if it's back but not wait around at your desk.

People might wanna be careful asking for full time wfh. You run the risk of your role being outsourced to a person in another country. Stick with Hybrid it least keep jobs local and personal. There are engineers and accountants can be hired remote in other countries for cheap. People have to be cautious. Not everyone can be a digital nomad it has consequences
