As long as you get your work done.

The problem is the commute and the expectation to live in a high rent area. The idea regarding remote work for me isn't to play around, but to cut my expenses.

When COVID happened, we were all sent home and noticed an increase in productivity. I'm a team lead and think it is because there are less side conversations.

I'd wish they have mini hotels in the parks, so you can rent a small room and take a nap mid trip.

Remote Work is the future. Accept it. Deal with it. Move on.

What you will find with most comments is, it's not about getting the work done and being productive, it's jealousy because all these are white collar professions. Blue collar and face to face service workers do not like this regardless of whether the work is getting done.

I’m with Ken here. Worked in two different companies post COVID and let me tell you, the only ones that work from home are supervisors, managers, and HR. The truth is we are being taken advantage of, paid poorly, and have to frequently cover remote workers slacking off because they want to vacation, but not work for it. My department requires hands on works, but those “working from home” leave early when the work isn’t even done and when they come back next day, they start where they left off making a ton of errors along the way. I’m calling it as it is, this generation of remote workers lack work ethics and suck.

Yes. I love working from my country home. With Starlink, that can be anywhere on earth (literally).

They're showing work, life, balance! It's a small world after all!

Ken wants you in a dark damp basement with a "leader" overlooking your work. 9-5 six days a week and you better show up early and stay late. Workers aren't supposed to have lives by the way. Do the leaders show up at your home as well?

You know why parents aren't happy at amusement parks like Disney is because it costs so much money that you feel you must cram as much into the day as you can. And that makes you tired and frustrated!!

If Tower of terror keeping you from coming back; then take a relaxing ride like dumbo, even the Peter Pan ride is nice! Disneyland is nice but expensive

It's doesn't matter. As long as the deliverables and expectations are meet who the hell cares.

As long as the employee isn't exposing trade secrets, intellectual property, company finances, work product, client personal information, or employee personal information whilst tracking the states in which they work for appropriate tax reporting, it's a grand idea. Would you want your attorney's or accountant's laptop stolen with your personal information on it? Want someone to glance over and take a screenshot of your taxes? Your paycheck? A company's marketing strategy? Source code? Yes, a happy employee is a more productive employee. The company has to consider much more than work deliverables when considering working remotely.

One thing not brought up is privacy. If you work in a regulated industry like healthcare or finance, you can't be on public wifi.

It should be up to your employer. If you get your work done and they approve then so be it.

You can bring in food if cost is a concern, I live in Orlando, and I do it occasionally, but I prefer the resort hotels, hang around there, and grab a bite and enjoy the venue.

Idk - how about you just go to Disney and enjoy Disney - aka a Vacation? The first guy just realized he could go to Disney and get some work done. But then he’s just thinking about “where can I sit here and work?” Just… keep vacation as vacation. This smells of burn-out. Yeah I’m probably jealous but I think if you are thinking about working then you aren’t either A - enjoying yourself and relaxing or B - actually focusing on your work. Too many people think they can multitask when, in fact, they cannot. I know the older I get the less I really can and my work suffers when I’m interrupted or thinking about too many other things. I need the focus.

Hey Ken like it or not remote work is going to be future. Commerical real estate stakeholdrs, landloards you're countdown in reverse has begun.

It’s idiots like this will slowly lead to the end of remote and hybrid work. Those of us that love what we do don’t need to go to Disney or some similar such distracting place. How on earth can you get work done there? We like our flexibility to work in the office or at home and not have to burn sick/PTO time if your kids are sick etc., you can just stay home and work.

You can bring your own food into Disney

A lawyer probably isn’t worried about spending $30-50/day while working at Disney. But I’m also not sure if he can work there every day because it requires a reservation. Perhaps with the most expensive pass it’s possible to reserve every single weekday.

Ken must be a bag of fun with kids. Run the other way kids, run like hell.

I wonder if work productivity increases at Chuck E. Cheese as well or maybe the movie theater and arcade

So why not just pack your lunch and go to a quiet office. Must be hard finding a comfortable work spot that’s quiet for calls and meetings. No way they can be productive.

I think that as long as your job responsibilities allow you to work remotely, you should absolutely be allowed to. You need to get your work done. I feel that workers that can work from a theme park shouldn't flaunt it in front of colleagues who may not be able to do their jobs remotely or others who couldn't afford to do this. Also, it does blur the line between work hours and off hours, so you and your employer should absolutely have boundaries where you can turn off, too.

if u using a company cell or laptop than that company (IT Dept) will find out where you r working at!

I work remote. Every call, text, email, and keystroke is tracked. So is every break. I have percentage measurements I have to meet on each of those, plus productivity in the form of appointments and sales. So there is absolutely zero free time during work hours. My manager can video conference me at anytime to make sure I am at my station. Plus, our company does not allow us to work from laptops. I have a large company-supplied monitor. So while I can travel to another location--it must be a home office like set up during work hours. The plus for the company is no rented office space, I can handle work from all of our dedicated locations, I'm using my internet and paying for my own remote access tools--and they pay us less for the privilege of working remote. So we are a cost-saving tool for the company.

Yeah...I would have concern about company privacy and personal identifiable information being exposed in large areas. But, I guess if that was a concern, the company should've already put a measure in for that.(I work for the state. My state computer can't connect to wifi. I have to use an ethernet cord and my state cell-phone is a flip phone the weight of one of those old nokias).

The company Fired him Shortly after.

How much is admission to Disney that a person could do this every day? A person could go easily go broke doing this. It would be cheaper to go to Starbucks, a library, or set up a home office.

I wonder if people won't be forced to work from "anywhere" at some point. The United States is incredibly expensive. My husband and I don't want to retire, although we would like to slow down a bit. We've talked about living abroad. We are both self-employed, and a decrease in the cost of living would be a huge deal for us.

A question came to mind as I was listening. Are they able to get all their work completed quickly because they are really competent at their job/role, or do they not have enough work to keep them occupied during the workday? If the first part is true, I say great. They are a really good asset to have and how can I replicate this to other areas within my org? If the second part is true, do I need a full-time employee to fill that role or are there other job duties that could be added? I understand that most white-collar professionals aren't 100% busy the entire workday and that it would be counterproductive to the type of work they perform.

These the type of ppl that F it up for rest of us lol But I prefer to be home flipping my monitor between Mac book computer computer and PlayStation lol 😂

2 points (for me), Disney is a park built for adults, not kids at all!! Way too big and crowded for kids lol. And 2nd, you can DEFINITELY bring your own food into the parks - money saver

You can bring your own food in.

Disney adults are weird. There, I said it.

how do I find a job in this dead job market? I graduated a month ago and I have $77,000 in student loans as well as a 7 month old son and nothing seems to work. I have just been doing Uber to get by, but it's not really working anymore. it's too oversaturated. I need a real job making real money

Yup he should be fired, and it’s also super weird that he wants to do that.

Your metrics get disrupted in the office with everyone coming to your desk with un important non work related topics because they are bored at their desk .

I for one am looking forward to being the first kid on my block that not only sells enablement AI software to DARPA but, to also relocate to Tokyo, Japan to continue to do so.

Kelly is pro family & pro America. Promote her.

There is no way they are being more productive than someone focused on working.

parents who live for their kids love Disney World. Besides, what sane person goes to Disney World to be miserable? Yes, there are plenty of them there.

If I was the boss, I’d say sure you can work from Disneyland….But I’m only paying you for the time you spent working. The second you stop working and go on rides, you are off the clock and I’m not paying you for that.

Why you gotta be so sexist when talking about which parent might need to squeeze in some work while the rest of the family waits in line?

Yes work from everywhere is due to technological advances. Keynes said with tech we should have 10hour work weeks by now.

If they are filming something for likes and clicks expected it to be a staged lie.😂

Part time work, full time heavy pay. Your fired!
