@@davide724 technically you're right. But I hate traffic so let's keep office workers at home lol

Well said and good logic. Elon is off base. It could be a bad decision for some people, but that is totally a personal understanding of what is good for your lifestyle. Individuals should use their own wisdom and descretion, not a one size fits all rational from Elon.

As long as the productivity stays the same

Yes I agree one hundred percent it depends on what industry you're in I'm a Wholesale Distributor my work-from-home I do mostly all shipping I live in Southern California the freeways are mess there's no point of me driving around I don't have to

Thanks to y'all peasants voting for R and D politicians who rather steal millions $ than invest in an outstanding public transportation, taking care of mental health issues, etc, but they just pocket all the $ they can, all still take advantage of the taxes loopholes including Trump who obviously didn't change it. In the end, both R and D are the same thing pretty much, and they both do an amazing job at splitting the peasants so they can all keep getting extremely rich.

Boring company

@@ServiceUnavailable What if you die when teleported and someone who looks and acts exactly like you, with the same memories and stuff, gets re-created there? Teleportation is scary stuff man.

I was thinking the same thing. If you go to work just to sit at a computer or at the phones it's wasted time, energy and more traffic when it's not necessary. Also if you have kids or elderly to care for it's invaluable. I usually agree with Elon though.

​@@user-gt6hx8eo5zmost reasonable commuting distance in the US is considered 60 miles which is about a 1 hr commute. So that's about 2 hrs of commute a day to work at a desk doing tasks that you could do at a computer at home. Not every job has that luxury. Some have to use the office so that customers aren't visiting employee homes. Some jobs only exist in the field. And some jobs can only be done with the employee's presence at the company to perform manual labor.

For real. Calling us the "laptop class" in order to put blue collar workers against us, as if we're the ones putting 99 cents of every dollar they make for the company in our pockets. We're in the same crappy situation as them, we're just slightly better off.

@@deebee3174 That's because you failed as a manager AND as a recruiter. As a manager, you need to be working closely with your employee to monitor tasks properly, to ensure enough work is done and also not too much to avoid burn outs. As a recruiter, you need to be good enough to understand what people will fit remote positions. If you think people can't be lazy while working in offices, you are deluted, to stay polite :-)

@@deebee3174 allowing remote working will yield you the best profiles that have personal exigence. The other will be the mediocre ones.

@@deebee3174 No, you failed because you can't manage to follow progress of tasks. Working isn't the subject, making stuff done IS the subject. Your job as a manager isn't to monitor if they are working or not. Your job is to monitor if they get their tasks done in time and with good quality standards. If not, then you didn't do one of your job as a manager: Production/work Planning & deadlines management. Also: If you hire someone that you can't trust: You either failed in your recruitement process, OR you are a control freak that can't trust an employee to make his job. In both situation: You failed. You can complain all you want, but I, my self, run a team of 34 tech dev that are working remotely for 90% of them, and everything is wokring perfectly and in timely manner. Allowing full remote working enable to get the best profiles too. Because the best profiles wants fexibility, and not an over-controling boss. Free tips for you: Learn to trust your employee, they will give it back to you time 10. If they don't: Coach them to do so, if they still dont: Fire them.

I manage about 50 people and we have seen positives from WAH, I will say bad apples always exist, but those are few and far between. Being a good leader helps. Also, studies show it works.

@@davidfoote696 Difference between your line of work requiring it and your boomer boss requiring it. Certain jobs (currently) need to be done in person, like surgeons, nurses, grocery store clerks, food service, hairstylists, etc. With current technology there's no getting around that. Any job that can be done entirely on a computer/phone, there is absolutely zero reason to require in office work. Anyone who disagrees with that is coping or has a vested interest in office work. Muskrat here obviously is a car salesman and wants everyone driving. But there's also a lot of money to be lost in urban office real estate if that becomes worthless, and wealthy owners don't want that. Micro-managing middle management types also become less relevant when performance can still be tracked remotely, so there's a whole subset of careers that are threatened by WFH, too. Neither are valid arguments against WFH, though.

Exactly and remember this dude wants the population keep growing for his greed

It gets abused by some people for sure. BUT i remember working onsite and theres PLENTY of time being wasted there too lol.

the problem is for some jobs technically yes you can absolutely work from home but in reality it makes the work much less efficient. it probably does provide many benefits that make your non work life better but it will make your work worse. of course many people only talk about how it makes it better for the non work part and refuse to admit there's a downside for the actual work aspect.

@chochooshoe it depends on the person. If they are a responsible, accountable person, their work doesn't suffer. Also management makes a big difference. I have quotas I have to meet everyday. My managers are more concerned about getting my tasks done, rather than being glued to my desk. Depends on the type of job. Pros and cons all the way around work from home vs on site.

He doesn't care, just trying to pit us against each other with irrational reasoning and appeals to emotion, a race to the bottom where he stands to make more money and exert more control. People like Elon praise equality and morals, while internally viewing almost everyone else as mindless grunts in need of an overseer. It's funny that he's factually incorrect more times than not, talk comes cheap to this guy. The 8/9 hour day is pretty much stretched to the limit of sane existence for the majority of people, add the commute and personal maintenance and you're left with almost nothing. Thank god for weekends - how about some team building?

And of course you charge for the benefit of the additional hours worked. if that's the case

He's not talking about the jobs that can be done from a computer okay whether that computer sits in a cubicle at work or sitting at home That's not the jobs he's talking about The laptop class that he mentions okay is not the IT class all right IT has always had to answer phone calls to tell people to turn it off and turn back on and they can do that at home or you know in a cubicle That's not what he's talking about

People need to work locally. We were at a factory and none of the people were local. Corporations talk about building local jobs and instead there's all kinds of labor staff agencies that rotate illegal foreign workers and these same agencies take part of the employees salary and these corporations get away with paying less than minimum wage.
