I work more as a remote Network Engineer. Way more than people that go to the office. Often times going to the office means walk-ups, unnecessary interruptions, and wasted time. It easy for a cool coworker to be bored and stroll up and have a 20 minute conversation.

What blows my mind is when you work in the office and people still don’t collaborate. Literally there because people feel better knowing you are physically there.

People do realize that remote workers actually work way more than people at the office because when you work in a office you work until it's time to log off, but when you work from home we have a tendency of continuing to work even after work hours and that is caused by the fact that bosses be thinking that because you work from home you lazy and not during anything all day. People do know that many companies make you be on camera so I am not sure where they are getting this idea that we are out here in the tub during work hours we be watched all day. Also, we be having so many meetings everyday about nothing.

They always talk the negative but never the plus. When we had to go remote back in 2020 , the company actually had a special meeting asking us to keep our work limited to working hours because people were working well into the evening and night. Working from home can actually make people more productive, but the mainstream doesn't want to have that conversation.

Shots of water...yes water 😂😂😂

It's straight up jealousy that not everyone can work remotely, therefore they say that nobody should. God forbid anyone should have a work situation that allows them some flexibility

It’s actually very busy to work from home, you can multitask all the things you couldn’t if you weren’t able work in an office.

Lucky for us, our company actually got rid of our Office building. Don't think we're going back...

My mentor when I was younger said "90% of life is about control. You controlling your money. Other people wanting to control your money. People wanting to control you. Etc." He was right. I could go on a long rant about this but it's not worth it considering the end result but I will say I love your take on it. If someone wants to work in the office, fine, go for it. I dont want to control that person and how they work. I have an immune compromised kid and I'll burn this world to a crisp if my kid dies because someone wants me in the office for work I can do at home and my kid catches covid. I dont care if you want to get vaccinated or not. I dont care if you want to be in the office or not. The real topic here is WHY do the managers and 3 letter acronyms (CTOs, CIOs, etc.) NEED me in the office if it's a job I can do from home? Control. Yeah, we've seen how control of a large group of people goes. Let's not even get into how these are the same people who say "We're family and need to work collaboratively." are the same people who will fire you without notice, reject your FMLA for some stupid reason, push back on raises and benefits, etc. All in all, I agree with you, progress forward, not backward. WFA (work from anywhere) should be a thing and will be a thing sooner rather than later. Get with the program.

Got a 4month old id love to be home with him right now!!

Remote. In office. I just want to work and finding a new job after getting the CCNA has been hard.

I would definitely love to work at home with remote ,I’m actually tired of leaving my house lol. I would cook a lot more instead of always going out to eat. I got your back my friend! ✊🏾💯

facts. preach

You're beautiful❤. Wish you and your channel nothing but luck and prosperity! Keep the content coming

I'm still working remotely and I am mixed about it but I know a ton of people who were called back into the office (Washington DC metro). In most cases, people with children say it hurt their home life (that extra 1-2 hrs of commuting a day) but a few I know are single and love being back in the office. I like hybrid when possible, I see benefits of on-site work as well home. Most jobs I work with can be done remotely, but I know a ton fo the data center guys who need to be there. It is mixed.

This all has to do with money, there is an entire ecosystem built around employees in the office. You are looking at commercial real estate and local business which all goes back to tax dollars.

That last 20 seconds 😆🤣

Well said (as usual)! Big advocate as well on empowering us employees on the power of choice. Some of us excel on full remote, some hybrid, some just flat out need or prefer being in office full time. I hate the attack on remote work because there are so many benefits to not only us remote workers but financial benefits to the business itself! It's an outdated mentality of "I can't see you so I can't be sure if you're working or just chilling and doing nothing" when in reality, we all know that one person or group of people who don't get much done in office either. I always say that we should be empowered with the options of in office, hybrid, or full remote and let our PERFORMANCE/OUTPUT be the judge of those of us who are actually doing the work or not. They even fail to realize that us remote workers while we have so much flexibility as remote workers, depending on your employer, management, and/or job scope of work, it can also be a reverse blade sword as we're technically flexible enough to work crazy hours because of the fact we're remote for the environments that don't have/enforce a true work/life balance. Great content as always! Love that you're slowly getting back to your flow of putting out videos!

We are having GREAT conversation about this in the comments!! I love the difference of views people have

I'm in agreement I believe remote workers do way more than in the office. I wish I could stay at home in my boxers and letting it hang to the left

I really want to put those people in front of home work station and ask them to fix the network down situation. Most of the time WE (remote workers) end up working more from home as compared to office. I think the only thing we actually benefit with "Commute"

The only people that should be blamed in this scenario are the managers. If you feel like your remote workers aren't doing anything then you need to let them go, because there are plenty of remote workers who will take their spot.

They're haters lol

😂 If unplugged any cable from the switch then how remote user can fix it … 😂 i think Office work is better as compare to remote 😊
