"Does anyone expect to sleep well if they are interrupted all night? Of course not. So then, how can we expect people to work well if they are bombarded with interruptions all day long?" Classic TED talk. One of my faves. Great ideas for dealing with distractions too...
The people running these companies are smart. If they wanted you to do work - they would arrange things to be consistent with work happening. Clearly the office is about something else =o)
"they don't want their employees to work at home because these distractions" . Classic. At the office nobody can't stand working due interruptions by managers and coworkers asking things that with to clicks you got on google.
So most of this is only applicable to a narrow field of jobs., really. A lot of this sounds only applicable to office jobs that are for creative departments. My husband works for ATT, making schedules. There's no way, in a call center such as ATT, that you can have a silent... 10 minutes. That would result in total discord. So many office jobs require a lot of communication-based work (like call centers). Can't say how a lot of this would apply for, say, a barista or other none-office jobs.
Really poor talk. The guy doesn’t know what he talks about. In the SW industry where he comes from, developers work in pair or in mob. That means meeting all day long. That’s the way to reach best quality. Working alone is a very bad habit, most people are part of a team and organisation and what we are doing must be aligned all the time. He gives no reference to research because he hasn’t read any (he says so in another talk). He just believes he knows things naturally and talks about them, what he knows very little. He just sounds that he does. Getting things done is not right. Doing the right thing is much better and you need meetings for that. Read about Lean and you will understand that. No more Jason for me
Some people love meetings, some don't, we are smart enough to choose the way we work based on our own personality. Jason proved he doesn't need an office to go to and his company still going up until today, he managed his employees from all over the world by doing remote work. It also just saves so much time, energy and money both from company perspective and the employees.
@@Volatilesub well, he is speaking like his way is the way. Where i work, developers work in pairs and mob. They cooperate. Jasons story is not backed up by research. His company happens to do well, but it could be for other reasons.
@@francoisherrault2277 Yes, you are right there are many ways to accomplish a task. This is one of those. Maybe your approach is different and it will work for you and many others. I want to learn from you, can you give me your contact or please DM me on Instagram @meme_snowball. I look forward to any reply from you, thanks

Love this. Managers and project managers need to think about this and make changes.
Excellent! Military leadership needs to watch and heed this. But they won't.
this talk is incredibly prescient
I would love to work for this guy
oh god! amazing guy
i didn't find this video by accident... thank you
100% agree.
He's so dead on point !
Well, that video aged well.

Why
Today we Are at the bifurcation point, chaos OR freedom, red OR blue Economy. We Are free to choose.
focus
Don't worry, COVID-19 made the hard choice for us all.
Year later, they want to drag people back to the office. The decision was not made.
Yup discovered in 2022
His reference to Africa is just so sad, so poor!
It was 9 years ago
according to him Africa doesn't have offices...does he live in a bubble?
This was 9+ years ago...
More remote/virtual work.
The answer: because everyone at work is jason FRIED
Americans will allways be Americans

LISTEN before pulling down. He emphasized that he is talking about CREATIVE jobs not client servicing
@@pppinto97 like there's no substantial overlap in that esp if you are freelance, which is exactly who he's talking to 🙄
@@Yashendwirh If you're freelance, why are you in an office dealing with a manager? Aren't you... free? 🙄
@@Halordain you get the same message as the last guy for the same lazy response that isn't even relevent
None of what you called out is a 'meeting'
oof the Africa comment
To much generalization. He talas just to be different
