![WHY IM A BAD EMPLOYEE BUT GREAT WORKER [Entrepreneurship] | #grindreel](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LVSfmV2MtqI/mqdefault.jpg)
They really just let anyone talk these days, which I respect but dang...this is just bad.

Some corporations are planning to be permanently 100% remote for technical roles in the aftermath of the pandemic. These businesses are either planning massive hiring or already hiring for these jobs this year.
Didn't we just have a bunch of bosses get upset over their employees getting laid at home on the clock.
I'm pretty sure it's just this guy projecting
It's absolutely not a benefit to have small talk around the water cooler (literal or metaphorical). What is a benefit is the ability to work in peace and quiet at home! I don't need or want to know who else works in the company. I'm there to work, not socialize!
I read that same article days ago!
So, I read the article then clicked on the "Sweatbox Paradox" link to see what it was about:
The "clinical psychologist" simply continues to offer anecdote and has zero empirical evidence. It seems based on nothing more than anecdote and deep personal biased. It's completely unscientific.
Also worth noting that after a quick google, said psychologist seems to do some corporate work as well. It's possible the whole "working from home thing" is eating in to her bottom line.
And finally, the "Sweatbox Paradox" article also took the chance to plug the good doctors book🙄
Conclusion: Click-bait drivel informed by deep biases, and espousal of vainglorious and outdated ideals as the salient way to maintain intimacy in a relationship, and used as an opportunity to shill the "experts" book
Bosses analyzing the quality of our sex lives is the strangest take in the discourse yet.
I can well believe that it'd enhance the sex life of some predatory bosses if everyone went back into the office, but it's not necessarily good news for all their underlings.
meanwhile he looks like that lmfao
Maybe the boss wants in on it? 🤨
Don't give them any ideas to take that as a challenge
No! The person who said that is actually a clinical psychologist. I hate corporate, you should never be loyal to them and make sure to job hop but stop misleading people or making things up.
Honestly, more than anything the writer unveiled how corporate culture isn't primarily concerned with economic growth but rather with conducting a sociological experiment where executives & managers can throw you into truly uncomfortable scenarios to see how you'll react & superficially reward the most obedient according to the predatory workplace standards that they pledge allegiance to -- hurts his own argument
Yep, it's about being able to boss someone around, which indeed is harder remotely than in an office. If productivity truly was the criterion than most middle managers would be out of a job anyways -- and they know that.
This is indeed about the "sociological benefits". To those who enjoy bossing their employees around, that is.
AWESOME COMMENT THIS IS WHAT I PREACH!
FUCK ARTIFICIAL SUPERFICIAL CULTURE EXPERIMENTS.
@Josiah Brady you fuckin NAILED IT...
It’s slave labor. We are slaves with out visible chains. We are there to make them wealthy and given enough just to survive and feel like we are free. Cogs in a machine. Just look at movies like office space or the matrix. Those films are great analogies for the corporate world we all
Seem To believe is normal and how life is meant to be lived. It isn’t.
Working from home is seen as a threat to that control they have over us. It’s a breath of fresh air and a sign of liberation to work from home which also means they can’t control you. Hence the gaslighting and propganda. It’s a threat to their wealth and direct control. They’re parasites, physically and energetically, from middle management all the way up to the CEO.
Is more that they are looking for the perfect sociopath that will game the system and be the next Dick Jones - not afraid to send you its henchmen at home, shoot you in the legs and leave a thermal grenade in the living room as parting gift [cit.Robocop]
Narcassist, sociopath and pyschopathic cluster B personality disordered bosses want everyone back in their office for a reason.
Whenever i see "safe place", i know to run for the hills. "Safe" does not mean safe for you, it is safe for the employer
Can't think of a safer space than one's home
Why is it safe for the employer?

How so?
@@curro.romero because they can look over you and make sure you are always working. while working remote they can only monitor results not what you do in the meantime.
I absolutely love not going into the office. And I love not interacting with people I have no connection with.
I love not forcing to interact with people I’m not close with
Ah come on! You know that you love interacting with those people.
I like dating the good-looking honeys at a company, however, there aren't any in my department or office! 😀😃😄
So, I'll stay working from home!!
As a old co-worker once said on the topic: "You don't sh*t where you eat".
Dating on the job is a horrible, horrible, TERRIBLE idea.
The tyranny of the extrovert. I'm more happy at home and not have to deal with people talking with each other while I'm trying to focus, and let's not talk about all those pointless meetings.
No Joke! The world is literally run by extroverts and it's time they get taken down a few pegs.
I find it more about being bossy assholes than extroverts. People can e xtroverted and still be sensible enough to understand that different people have different needs.
So true. When I was going into the office, I would no joke have a steady stream of extroverts in my workspace all day long. It gave me anxiety. Working from home has also given me a new found grasp on just doing my job and not killing myself with overtime.
There is no tyranny of the extroverts... I'm one and I love and always have loved working from home.

$180 a month in fuel cost to commute, $110 a month for a parking pass. 1:30 hours of time lost commuting. Excellent incentive for employees..
This article is an insult to a person's intellect
There's absolutely zero benefit from water cooler small talk. I did that with another colleague for years, then one day she did a total 180 and began harassing me to the point I was forced to quit. Sure, always be civil at work, but never be anybody's friend.
It wasn't so bad in the past, when people at work weren't all backstabbers. The office is so politicized now that you have to be so careful that you don't say something that causes you to be reported to HR, or used against you by some backstabbing weasel who is desperate to climb the greasy pole.
Honestly working from home is worth it just to avoid those types of people. The lack of commuting and increased comfort is a nice benefit.
@@MrEdrftgyuji “it wasn’t so bad in the past”… because people weren’t talking about it? Because that’s the ONLY difference. No less people have been harassed then or now. It is a problem that ALWAYS had existed.
@@knucklesskinner253 No. In the past, people didn't get fired and blackballed for daring to make conversation.
Bet you are the sort of person who is straight on the phone to HR if someone dares say "hello" to you. Thank god I don't have to deal with people like that anymore now I work from home.
@@MrEdrftgyuji "Hello there good morning 🌅"
"What! How dare you assume it's a good morning! Reeeeeee. Sexual harassment!"
@@MrEdrftgyuji This is why I like working in the tech industry: work from home, people are more collaboration oriented, not position-oriented and we like to get stuff done efficiently
I can actually understand the argument of entry level employees missing out - but only if their trainer does not know how to work remotely. I really think that the answer to this is to train the mentor on how to communicate better instead of mandating both people be co-located.
I laugh at how companies can't possibly train people remotely as it "doesn't work", yet those same companies I worked for had zero problem sending me to "virtual classrooms" for a week to do a course pre-pandemic because it saved them money on travel and accommodation costs.

working from home allows people to go buy a house where the price seems reasonable. A low salary does not allow one to have savings and it forces people to rent forever. They don't wanna give a raise, but they don't wanna make it easier either. We should slowly let those unrealistically demanding companies fade away.
This article is such a gaslight. Instead of telling workers to go to the office to get visibility / mentorship / apprenticeship, why not ask why employers can't figure out how to provide these remotely? Set up virtual 1:1s and group sessions with your young employees if you want to get more instructional time. It's not that hard.
Gaslighting is the new narcissist
@@manco828 It's definitely a thing, and it's studied by psychology, because it's very employed by narcissists
Imagine telling Gen Z they can't be trained online. They learn most of their stuff on TH-cam anyways
not to mention a single evening in an expensive restaurant is way cheaper than renting that massive building
@@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult r/wooosh It's a joke LMAO. Do you not get it?
I told you people multiple times they just want you back in the office so they can sexually harass someone or have an affair. This seems to be a big inference. Even at the risk of getting delta, they need this power.
Exactly, they are getting bored sleeping with their wives
One of their benefits is the head games ,sexual harassment ,potential for abusing underlings .
"The office provides you with a safe space..."
Didn't get the memo about Blizzard, eh?
Or Ubisoft, Riot Games...etc
They don't mention "safe for whom"

Comparing corporate employment to Kim Kardashian is more like comparing apples to the exhaust pipe on a 1974 Pacer.
CEO: What's the problem? They both exist on earth.
Now get back to work, and continue selling those exhausts in the fruit market
@@Desh681 LoL....
I laughed out loud when that came up
Also, bringing up that whore as a positive example is idiotic beyond belief.
Working from home, my wife is in home with my 3 months old daughter.
I am in love, my wife cooks for me, when I miss my daughter I just go next room and kiss and hug her, if I want to talk with different people , just go outside e say hello to my neighbors... i can take care of my house , the end of the day I have a better life quality, I drive less, and I can improve my house.... wfh, best thing ever
I love how all these tech firms that boast cloud computing and remote work solutions want their employees to live in the most expensive places in the US, commute for an hour just to sit in a cattle stall.
my boss wanted me this week to drive to work for half an hour each way to sit in an empty office all by myself for a day because its in my contract. keep in mind I also work from home as per my contract 3 days a week. There is literally no reason for me to be in that office except to fulfill a stupid obligation. That was the last straw for me. Luckily I have a new job and I'll be leaving next month.
It's not about productivity but we constantly have metrics measuring productivity. Alright buddy🧐
@Amin True, but the official term is sociopath, because the psych boys define psychopathy as something specific.
But the even more official term is, your HR department
Trying to apply Metrics to people’s work is ridiculous..

This young man speaks the truth. It took me a long time to just do my job without feeling like I had to constantly stay late and work weekends. I’m content with my salary and don’t care if someone else gets a promotion because it just means they will get all additional work thrown at them. I am no longer stressed and can focus on my real estate second income stream. Joshua also said in another video to leave the job for promotions. Of course not everyone is in a position to do this, but I’ll tell you I’ve seen so many people pass me by years ago because I was afraid to take those chances.
Promotions are often actual life demotions

You are more productive working from home, no office gossip, office politics, no forced socialization, no sexual harassment, what’s not to like. I learned by doing, taking on new challenges, and always looking for opportunities, most bosses and coworkers didn’t mentor at all, they either just minded the store or preferred that you figure out your job by yourself.
Ya most managers and bosses don't know how to train people and some r worse than the rest of the employees at the job .
I also work more hours from home because I have a 30 second commute versus up to an hour each way (depending on time of day). So I spend that hour working.
Not taking sex advice from my boss is what improves my sex life.
He owns a house near the offices. That's why he wants all the peons back in the office, to preserve his absurd home value that's only based on proximity to work. THATS Why him and all the other upper management want people back. Simple

That and homeboy is wasting money on a building no one wants to attend lol
Shoutout to my Fortune 100 technology company who allowed all engineers to work from home! The main reason was they discovered we where way more productive from home and the profit was at an all-time high, pandemic or not.
But what about gossip around the water cooler man? That's where the juice of business is at.
As a not out guy in a semi-homophobic country who is super introverted after I went full working remotely, my evaluations skyrocketed and i got promoted. Those corporate simps. eugh.
@@lalayastill610 Well now since I work full remotely, i pick projects with nice people and I interact on slack/teams with nice people. Back in the office where the "watercooler bs talks" are a thing, my options for filtering people i interact with were limited.
@@lalayastill610 We will come back but just 1 day per week and just my direct team. So, a compromise.
@dwh Why did you feel uncomfortable?
It’s hard to focus with people talking about all of their personal issues, let’s fix the problem and move on.

Josh, please discuss the environmental benefits of WFH too.
all you need in order to make a "get back to the office" video is a positive overuse of the following words: collaboration, socialization, open space, small talks, routine, rewards.
It's called a straw man argument. It's where someone sets up an argument, simply to knock it over.
let's see it in example
CEO: raises strawman argument
CEO: knocks it down
CEO: "see how right I am? 🧐"
Employees: "we were just wondering if it was going to rain today...🙄"
You could also more dramatically name it "The betrayed hypothesis"
I'm a massage therapist. I wear tshirts, shorts, leggings, sweats, tank tops, linen clothes, crocs, sneakers, and sandals to work. So, the opposite of dressing up. My self esteem is fine lol
Employees 100 years ago:
"Ok Boss, we've decided that 8 hours is enough work for one day. If you disagree we'll burn down this factory."
Employees today:
"UwU step on me harder corporate daddy!"
Bosses: "Relationships and sexual rapports between employees is frowned upon and deemed highly unprofessional, and may even constitute grounds for disciplinary action."
Also bosses: "Working from home is bad for your sex life."
A statement that has no relevance to the argument is called a non sequitur, people get so confused when you tell them they completely missed the point.
It may also be a Strawman, depending on how it's presented.
I know the psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula. She's great when it comes to toxic people/relationships and NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder). I can imagine her saying that working from home is bad but only in case of toxic (family)environments. But never heard her say that Remote Working was bad in general. Could be that she said these statements, much to my surprise, or could be that the article misused her name to their advantage, who knows.

my favorite item from this was the person who wrote that people who work from home concentrate more on getting the job done instead of collaboration. WOW. How dare people concentrate on getting the job done? What do they think they're being paid for?
holy crap these extroverts and sadist bosses will not leave us introverts alone
Lol agree I am extrovert but still love working from home
Dr. Ramani, the one quoted in the article, has a TH-cam channel where she talks quite a bit about narcissism and sociopathy. The ironic thing is that she has more than a few clips that focus on how to identify and avoid these behaviors in a work or office environment.
The pros of remote working are so great that there aren't any valid arguments against it for jobs which just need a computer, internet connection and human intelligence. These arguments to return to office are mostly manipulations and disguised lies. A few remote working benefits that come to mind:
1. No commuting time, drastic fuel savings, reduced carbon emissions, less traffic and accidents
2. Greater ability to concentrate on complex and professional work
3. Quieter offices for those who choose to go there
4. Corporate office expenses saved (rent, electricity etc.)
5. Flexibility and allowing people to work in their most productive part of the day
6. More family and personal time
etc. etc.
Remote working is perhaps the fastest way to reduce CO2 emissions.
All the more excuse to offshore to 9$ / hour "Quality Assurance" in India like Boeing did.
Totally agree with Mr. Fluke. I’ve been teleworking for almost 2 years and I’ve been more productive and happy- I get to spend more time with family and my dog!
I'm glad you have highlighted this issue. For women, the workplace is just another place where we are sexually harassed. In fact, most workplaces are abusive in this way. Women are constantly overhearing men talk about the cute girl coming for the interview, whether or not they can bang the new girl, and we constantly get underhand comments about what we are wearing, look like, whether we are married or not etc. etc. etc. I am not surprised some men feel this way. With the pandemic and working from home, men have less access to women. I have always said that the workplace is abusive to women in ALL ways. Working remotely means men cannot comment on us in this way at all, or it will be recorded / with paper trail. Your boss can't say over email, Sarah can you wear that cute baby girl dress again? Did you know it was see through. We don't get called in to fake meetings just so male supervisors and managers can stare at us. And we don't get watched and compared for promotion based on our appearance only.
And working from home will also protect you from toxic females. Never have I seen so much backstabbing then among females in an office. And if two of them are managers..yikes
Wow, Did your boss really say that? That's horrible. In my country, that would have been enough to get him fired. I'm sorry you went through this. May god bless you.

Save countless thousands of dollars by working at home, all that money saved not paying commercial real-estate as well as employees not putting on mileage with their car or risking their life in traffic. Especially in winter.
Don't forget that your helping the environment by not sitting in an office with 24/7 commercial grade Aircon and electricity as well as burning Petrol while sitting in traffic.
The office is high school revisited with shit coffee.
Your job serves a bigger purpose in life??? Can't believe people think like this, I need some followers like this working for me LMAO. Going to the office means spend more on gas and travel expenses, food, clothes, etc...
well in a way IS a greater purpose, going to work you are feeding the food chain of all those industries that revolve around going to the office, but i would prefer they say it openly
Child Care: My cable box was acting funny. When I called the cable company, I could vaguely hear happy kiddie noises in the background of the lady help desk employee who answered. 👍 She talked me through factory reset of the cable box just fine.
In contrast, there is a day care centre at the end of my street. It's been mostly closed due to the restrictions we still have in place here. But when it was open, guarantee that with every new crop of kiddies, the first day will be filled with a few screaming crying toddlers wanting their mummies who had little choice but to abandon their offspring with strangers so they could earn money to help with increasing costs of living.
If I must hear kiddies yelling and screaming, I'd prefer that it be fighting with their siblings at home over toys than otherwise.
Another thing: this paying what the person would make in that market---the work then has to filter back to the headquarters via the computer broadband, where it gets disseminated and sent out--FROM WHERE THE COMPANY IS LOCATED. I have to send all my work to the office--I don't disseminate my work into the immediate community in which I live. Therefore, the rate they would pay on the contract they and I signed is still valid no matter where I choose to live.
Going outside on my porch to fiddle around with my plants gives me a break from my daily routine. I wasn't hired to socialize--that wasn't in the job description. There were specific things in the job description/contract I signed and none of it said anything about "maintaining office culture" or "socializing with my co-workers". They aren't my friends. They're just someone I have to tolerate on a daily basis.
I'm at a point in my career where I dont' give a fuck about advancing... I'm moments away from retiring. I've done all that already. Did it in the largest markets in the country. I did what I was hired to do, so promote whomever you want. I don't want the headache of having to deal with corporate stupidity.
i have mental break downs when i have to stand in traffic. so no, going to the office and standing in traffic twice a day, 10x times a week does not give me a mental break....
Man, I can't relate, but I feel this statement. Best wishes on your work endeavors, and may you have better days
@@OzzyTheGiant i didn't mean it literally, but yeah, traffic jams pisses me off :D
What's the point of being the boss if you don't have anyone around you to "boss around". They don't care about you, it's all about them.
Yup. They miss their narcissistic supply
Kim Kardashian? Isn't that the "social media personality" who got her tape leaked and then decided to settle the court case with money and fame?

You're missing out on all the mandatory fun.

Hey nobody mentors anymore, I find older folks keep what they know on lockdown. I only pick things up from more experienced colleagues when I listen to what they're doing right in meetings and observe.
OMG! 5.46 to 6.01 was so true and hilarious to listen to. Loving your videos - have seen/experienced nearly everything that gets brought up at some point through my life. Epic stuff. 👍
Okay. To be fair if you work with people you like makes coming in sometimes pleasant. At my company (insurance) we all have the option to come in once per week. Not all of us come in every time, but most of us voluntarily come in just to have lunch together. Some of us leave after lunch and that's fine. I think this is a great option. But I also must say this is my first corporate job ever that I've ever felt this way about... with that said, your coworkers can easily make or break a job. Never take a position without seeing how everyone acts. This would have saved me from many bad positions...
Lol they are literally grasping at straws at this point to excuse going back to the office. I had a job offer, I asked to WFH they said that they expect employees to go back on august,, I passed on that opportunity due to that fact alone, and I told them why (most of what Josh has pointed out in so many videos) and the HR lady agreed with me.
You didn't pass an oppurtunity. You dodged prison!
productivity can be a buzzword by some bosses. many employers push employees to maximize productivity by making them work faster. but don't realize working is about eb and flow.
Nobody talking about the Real reason corps are forcing "back to the office". Real estate. Rich managers and executives who own houses near the office don't want their homes to depreciate in value - if the peons could work from anywhere and moved away.
This is the reason every company that put out surveys had a majority if not 95% of employees say they would prefer full time remote work. Yet the higher ups who make the decisions have a house that's the shortest commute from office buildings. Those 5% are making the decision to screw the rest of everyone else not because offices create a 'collaborative' environment. It's selfish evil greed. Force all other workers to risk a car accident every day, pollute the environment, clog traffic, and pay unaffordable rents because they're financially secure but can never have enough.
Do those surveys again, but link responses with their address and if they own or rent a house. You'll see who the minority is that is making the call to "bring employees back" and why!
I love the other links below this article: 4 signs that you are sitting next to a psychopath at work and 10 signs that it might be time to quit your job. Yes, come into the office and sit next to the psychopath!
Holy Damn i love your harsh criticisms about these SIMPS. I live in South Africa and ALL of our network companies and ISP's love the concept of work from home because it saves them money to not have to come into office. They only asks for meeting's once a week because sometimes people's point dont get across or addressed that well over a Teams meeting. Which is really appealing to everybody because nobody like to spend nearly $8-$12 a day to get to work and home.
My Dad's been working as a software engineer for a long time and he's worked from home for the last ten years and he's done really well his work speaks for itself
And here's something for free: It's not my job to assuage a coworkers feelings. That's their job to self soothe, not mine. I'm not there to be vulnerable to anyone--the fuck! That is so cringy/borderline harassment it's not even funny. He's just gassing up some simp corporate manager who's about to have their whole team quit on them.
I think too many people brag that they play video games, watch Netflix, run errands, do laundry, babysit, work on their side hustle, go out to the park, while working-from-home. Because most jobs, you can 100% do from home, but employers see that 90% of them spend doing other things. And to be honest, people “clown” around in the office too so what’s the difference? P.S. I don’t work from home but I support it (mostly).
I have a pick what you want job and everytime I go in its just people talking about sports for half an hour or more or whatever and I'm just distracted.
Previous job: You have to come in to the office (pre-COVID) so that you can interact with your co-workers face-to-face. Literally, everyone sent each other IMs when you are less than 10 feet away from one another, because you are sitting there with a video or music in the background with earbuds or headphones on, which everyone assumes means you might be in a meeting (we met with other team members from across the globe via WebEx), so didn't want to walk up to you and potentially interrupt.
If “being at home more often strains family relationships”, I wonder how humanity got by for thousands of years with most of the family being in close proximity with each other the majority of the time. The family unit grows weaker the longer you’re away not stronger. lol
im so glad to see someone with the same views being able to voice this to so many people on the internet. this needs to be heard. CEOs are so out of touch and being assholes by saying that its a "social" thing that is good about the office. its horse shit and they literally just want to be able to watch us while we work plain and simple. maybe they are jealous that their employees get to work they way they do? from home! are they thinking, "HEY IM THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS TO DO THAT NOT YOU" what a bunch of assholes.
Going to the office gives me a break from my daily routine? Going to the office is the reason I need breaks from my daily routine.
Employers never reward what good things they can see. So who cares if they can see or not what good I do?
History is the greatest teacher. Years of going to the office pre-pandemic - no pay raises or promotions. Who actually thinks this will change now?
Great video!
I have a business and received an email from the city inviting me to a webinar about tax incentives for companies with employees that received a jab 💉.
I think most of these “go back to the office” companies are also looking at the monetary value because many companies are mandating 💉 for in-office workers.
"These people have probably never played online video games"!! EXACTLY! I'm one of the less boomer gen X types and this touched my soul!
Omg the fact this guy works for the city is sick. I work for the city too and the cringe is there too. Also, good luck getting into the city unless you know someone :( so many incompetent people are in charge here. Please send help!!
I have always liked your videos, but your comedic bits have significantly improved recently and I LOVE IT!
Thank you for doing this Josh. You gave me the attitude I needed to break the 40k/year barrier, and I'm buying a house... Keep doing it.
I'm starting to think that the people who advocate for returning to the office just hate their families (or their families hate them) and use this type of bullshit as an excuse to get away from them. Either get a divorce, start day-drinking like an adult, or use all that sweet bonus money to rent a small office away from home. Either way, those of us who actually enjoy working from home shouldn't have to pay for their misery.
The office as a battlefield. Nah fam, if I wanted a battlefield I think I know where to find a recruiter.

It's called a red herring fallacy. When you say "I'm right" but you respond to an argument that nobody is making.
And that's exactly what he's doing. He says "employees view the office as a war zone, and that's the problem, therefore we need to go back to the office."
But no employee thinks of the office as a war zone. That's something the author is making up so he can assert his point.
This, thank you
Isn't other name of it was strawman something?
@@Stszelec01 Straw man is similar, but it's when you re-phrase your opponent's argument in a way that makes it easier to defeat.
I have a problem separating my work life from my home life when working remotely. Hard to just say "It's 5pm, I'm done with work" when I don't have the excuse that I need to catch a train or drive home.
But, that's just something I haven't learned. That's discipline we need to develop,
"Water cooler talks" do not have to be in person at all. At my work, everybody working from home just plans this very specific "water cooler" moment at lunch time and they can just casually chat with each other during break through webcam. And it's not mandatory at all since we're the ones who came up with this, not management. If you're too busy or not in the mood, nobody will get angry at you. It's a completely optional social daily event.
Be really funny to see the look on all those CEOs faces when the employees say "Enough".
Luay Rahil is the physical embodiment of "sending a chick 500 bucks to see pictures of her feet".
YES a new video from Josh. Let's gooooo
I'm sorry, I thought dating co-workers were frowned upon, Mr. CEO. Is it interfering with your love life, Mr. CEO? Is your dating pool dry because you don't control the lives of everyone you hit on, Mr. CEO?
His dating pool is dry because he's a soy boy extraordinaire
Working from home invalidates the justification for the majority of 2-4 year college degrees.
Daily meetings are trash. Especially because other colleagues critisize you if you cannot attend (I am a student and sometimes I cannot attend the daily meetings). Also, you waste a lot of time. It'a stupid because the manager asks you what you did in the previous day, even if you logged the time and you filled there what you did. It is completely stupid. Ask them via chat and that's it.
Bro you’re so damn real. So glad I came across your channel. You’ve validated so many things I’ve been thinking and privately ranting about. You’re awesome.
Coffeezilla's interview with the Uber angel investor put it best- mentorship doesn't get you business success, working and negotiating with peers does.
So long as we have the option to more productively negotiate from home 👍
Yup rarely if ever saw my bosses. "My kid has a softball game". Plus the MeToo stuff is probably way down now.
The more I hear about other companies the more stoked I am that my current company is super flexible when it comes to wfh
I laughed my ass off so hard about some of the statements in that utterly RIDICULOUS MEDIUM POST!!! At my last job, we actually started the project and did all the training from home with tools like zoom email and chat, and we still got to know each other really well. As soon as we got back to the office, someone had Covid19 and several of us, including me caught the virus, and we all had to be back home again! So much to say the office is safer... WRONG! Oh and also, that was a very "productive" month with half the team off sick, wasn't it?🤦♀️😂
Nevermind that remote workers have been doing everything that they said they could not...micro management never ends.
Yup!! I always said blowing your boss overrides any degree to get that promo! 😆🤣
2:05 It's called a strawman argument :)
i'm thankful my employer only wants us in the office 1 day a week for our teams to communicate project stuff..the owners were able to downgrade the office space to save on rent. we're also noticing that the office-day is FAR LESS productive. my entire job is through my laptop and resources are cloud based...talking with my coworkers about the weather or sports etc is nice, but I can also talk to my friends about that..
Great job writing those video titles with ALL CAPS, makes them more appealing and funny to look at 😃
Direct contact, direct mentorship ?
Multiple generations (B, X, Millenia, Z) are raise by TV, Table, Smartphone and now some of them are C level, some of them are workers
and nothing is missing, economy is going as usual.
Great video man! I know it’s not really supposed to be funny, but I find the original posts and comments hilarious.
Talk about sad existences. The people who write these, project their own insecurities.
I mean why as an executive, would you ever say staying home hampers your sex life lol! 😂
Honestly all this MBA garbage really just makes me think that they are scared. Scared their bosses will realize stuff gets done without the MBA looking over the shoulder.
Once that happens then their job becomes obsolete and they lose theirs.
Couldn't imagine working in an office, or even in a building ... or even working at all. I quit my job in 1980 (inspired by The Members punk song 'Goodbye To The Job') and I've never looked back. I've always valued freedom over money, and realised pretty early on, that you can either go to work every day, or you can be free to spend your day as you wish. I chose the latter. I've been out of work for 40 years, but have been married twice, owned two beautiful homes and have two grown children and two grandchildren. I've never felt poor or underpriviliged. Optimism and creative visualisation gets me by. Whatever I need manifests when I need it. Work is okay, but why work when you can magic eveything up ?
I am ok with companies trying to convince me to go back to the office with perks and food and such, they have the right to try and I can appreciate that. Giving raises vs $50 in pizza isn't always the simple solution, although we definitely love it. I think the disconnect is not giving us the choice and respecting it either way, or at least being flexible and letting us work from home if we need to for whatever reason.
If I were a business owner who actually owned an office I would want people to use it too (less sympathy for the renters, that's easier to drop). The second disconnect is not being honest about this reason, trying to trick smart people doesn't work well.
😂 OMG! These corporate guys will say anything! I think this is a sign that everything is changing and they’re desperate.🎉You’re helping to keep this revolution going! Thank you!🎉
I abhor 'open office' environments with lines of tables joined up together, i hate offices period but at least with cubicles you get some sort of privacy. Having said that, it seems apparent that office environments do not bring out the best in productivity for everyone. Too many distractions and clash of personalities and toxicity can drain ones productivity imo.
I've yet to hear of one sensible, rational and intelligent reasoning that supports working in offices with hundreds of others vs working remote.
