19 days of sick leave out of 365 days…boo hoo im Sure the company will survive. And if i die of a heart attack or stroke, my position will be filled in within 3 days of me passing. So live your life the way you want to. Just be prepared for consequences plan ahead

Yeah, I'll disagree that always-hybrid is best for all. It's project depending. Some projects you should be in the office 3-5 days a week to collaborate. Some you can fly solo at home for months at a time and be more efficient. Maybe you still call that hybrid, but it shouldn't be forced to N days a week.

Great content! I wanna take the same route. I've just started offering facials and massages to corporates, and I've also started practicing public speaking hoping to become a Corporate Wellness Speaker one day. Thank you for this relatable video! Love, all the way from South Africa.

19 days off work is detrimental? This just shows you that companies just want to suck every ounce of life out of you

Let's not call it excuse, it is fraud.

if you express that you need a break you get fired so better to call in sick brother

Words words words....amazingly people who earn enough to have a true work life balance don't call in sick.

If a job is capable of being done fully remote, then it should always have the option for employees to do them remotely, until there is a special reason for them to have to come into the office directly. There are no excuses for this. The element "connection" is something that is of no concern for the business - it is personal, and should as such be a choice made by the employees whenever possible.

We have 5 people in our team. They forced us to to back to the office. It takes me 1.5 hrs back and forth. All my team members are in other provinces including my manager. so, I go to the office, sit alone for 8 hours and take work call on zoom. They said it was for collaboration... who am I collaborating with... a wall?! MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE TO ME!

OK. Please forgive my ignorance. If the employees don't need to be in the office to do their jobs (thanks, COVID!), why employee people in Western geographies at all? Why not just hire people for a fraction of the cost in India and the Philippines? It seems a bit arrogant (and improbable given the relative sizes of the populations) to assume that Western staff are just going to be better, no? Need to connect/create together? Great - do it in Pune or Manila. Fly them to your Western offices once per quarter to collaborate and bond with the roles that do need to be held locally (sales staff, field technicians, etc.) if that really means so much to you - it'll still be cheaper than employing people locally. I really don't understand the dynamic of all this.

Work at home should consider on a proper setting (ie a desk, chair, etc) to both focus better and not injure yourself. Not all of us have a designated space, so working in the kitchen, on the bed, is not ideal. Should the company pay for internet and office supplies? Regarding human connection, consider also the new employees, which need to know people face to face, maybe get the coaching they need, especially when new. What about taxes? If you want to work in another state, or another country, there are implications to both you and the company.

Free meal or meals a day would be a big one to bring people into the office. This might sounds extreme, but company vehicle carpooling. Fuel paid by the company, vehicle paid by the company 4-5 people in a set area would take turns driving so no one is burned out from driving every day. Also since you are carpooling when its time to go its time to go, cant make everyone wait for you cause the boss hit you with a report sitting on their desk for 3 weeks and they need it by tonight. Keeps a good work life balance. We come in together, and leave together. By far though Hybrid with 2-3 days a week. No need for added incentives as people are happy to not have to commute, or pack a lunch or eat out and save more money and time.

Your cons arguments are all (but 1) extremely fragile and have no real weight: - There is no such a thing as "losing human connection" - that just don't exists if the leadership is even minimally interested in the working format. I can say from 4+ years of experience on the model - it only happens if you want to and/or are completely inept on human interaction. - The "finding friends thing"; I don't work to be friends with no one (it does happens, but is never the objective and has no real weight on this matter). Companies are not match makers nor are they friend aggregation places. Unless you live in the middle of the jungle, you'll be meeting plenty of people on your social life. - There is no reason for communication problems. There is no such a thing as body language being needed to communicate anything real about work. If you need that, you should start doing proper definitions by text and plain language, like any proper working communication has to be. - Inability to divide work from personal life is a individual problem, not a inherent thing from the work model and has no weight on it. If you can't do it, seek help from a psychologist. - Human connection/work place culture/<insert buzz word here> for a better working environment is BS. Fits on the exact same thing as point 2. You don't need physical presence to properly work with some one. That is a fallacy that can't be properly proved... once again, it's a personal problem, not inherent from the model and totally tackable by a competent leadership. - Data breach is a real thing. But really easy to fix with proper technology and protocols. For some real sensitive things, indeed a on site moment might be necessary, but unless you do that 24/7, there is no reason to mandate constant presence on site. Hybrid has no value over full on site work (forced frequent visits to the office to be more precise. It's complete shit), as it eliminates the real benefit of remote: living where you want, not where the office is. Hybrid with forced on site days is a weak pseudo-compromise some companies want to do for no real benefit of those who gain no benefit from on site work. It's a thing born from ignorance and reluctance to change, even though on some cases there is a tangible monetary benefit for everyone involved. I can't visualize how "you are forced to come to work X days a week" vs "you can stay at home and come only when necessary" makes people happy. Going to the office for special reasons is fine, but coming because someone on management don't like remote is BS. Sorry, you properly pointed the benefits of remote but completely butchered the cons of it to make it look worse. All but one of you points is invalid... only the security reasons are legitimate and those can be fixed for a properly remote environment; there are probably more proper cons to be brought to the discussion, but you did not found them. obs: Sorry friend, but you are definitely biased... "gratefully to work remote from time to time"; "empower your worked to want to go to the office".... who really says/likes that? You sound just like the many directors and managers I meet who defended it with no real data to back their claims.

Hybrid model for me!

Unlimited PTO has a huge drawback - when you leave, there is no vacation balance to pay out. Work for a company where you accrue vacation and if you leave, the company has to pay you the vacation balance. Most of these unlimited vacation policies result in employees taking LESS time off versus accruing vacation hours.

So, it will make even more segregation of the petite bourgeoisie from the proletariat. The same intelligentsia, creative, elite, and bourgeoisie who can work from home would also get four day work weeks whilst the lower class laborers in factories, farms, service industries and on-site industries will still be working the same hours if not more. Those with much get more while those without get less.

Id rather the 4 day work week give me wednsday off so theres a break in the middle.

Doesn't work. This was tried at my company. Yes, initially people were getting 5 days of work done in 4. Then slowly over time, less and less work was done. The final result? 4 days work done in 4 days. The company switched to a better solution. The staff was divided into 3 groups, each group got every 3rd Friday off with each group taking turns. This meant 17 extra days off for each person, with minimal productivity loss.

Crowdstrike would reallly work on a 4 day work week ….. answer phone “sorry ring back on Monday” as the world burns lol

You need to have a part two of how to convince your boss to at least try this.

That convo was life changing. Thank you🙏🏿❤

Love it

For me it's as simple as being allowed to use my skill set.

Top Stuff!

Great Video

Love the edit! My favourite youtuber :)

It's simple really. We spend a lot of hours at work and all we do is get paid and give it all to everyone else.

I run a service, Collect sums from all employees who dislike management. We will , sort them for you.

Having experienced British managers I can understand why they are grumpy. A few are really good, but most are bullying mediocrities who can’t find work in the UK.

Employer rights are an elusion, pay have not kept up with inflation since the 80's. The vast majority of the economy is service based and is fundamentally meaningless, the tax burden falls on the workforce and not companies decades of mis management has led to the slow collapse of civil society

Reason for no trust is people putting their colleagues down in order to curry favour with the boss, there's always at least one in every company, they lack skill, they lack talent, but they make everyone else look bad by spreading lies. This makes the boss paranoid "no smoke without fire", and before you know it they're watching how long you spend on the toilet, flexitime is taken away, IT are spaying on you through your work PC/laptop, then the person who caused all this misery leaves and everyone is stuck with a boss who doesn't trust them.

Accused of drug taking in the office toilets. Punched him the mouth and walked out!

Ha Ha, Ha Ha, Ha, Ha, Loooooool😂

BIG UP RYAN!

Can we get a "Big up for Ryan" in the comments. Thank you for your time Ryan 🙌

If business owners would apply this understanding to how they treat there employers then there wouldn't such an international skills shortage and we wouldn't have to rely on immigrants to do our jobs for us.

My main motivator for pursuing remote work is cost of living. I'm surprised this was not brought up

And this is how nations meet their end.

I have the feeling that you're Gen Z. The truth is when you're young you have to put in the work.... the slave work years. You gotta do it when you're young because you're not going to do it when you're older. The first few years of working life you have to do the work, otherwise you miss the professional window in your life. Also, a bit of a wake up call: with all the developing technologies, such as AI and remote working opportunities (shock alert: Gen Z wants to work from Bali but they do not understand that they can be easily replaced by employees in places like India, where salaries are a fraction and staff is probably much smarter and grateful). So yeah Gen Z, you gotta shake a leg like everybody else before you has done or live in your parent''s basement for the rest of your life and believe me, the world will keep spinning without you.

Ur just projecting get a job zoomer

Can't speak for anyone else but after seeing this it seems to be all about team... What chills me out is getting away from everyone after a hard day
