We need new system redesign or nothing changes which creates those new jobs. You have to change our economic system, which is our value system. We need a justice system designed to result true justice which is a win/win replacing today’s pay to play win/lose. We need a new medical system focused on good health not profit focused . Once we agree on new system design when need to get to work building it. If we are making a change nothing really changes if all systems remain the same- just repeating the same patterns

Sorry Dave, the only people who don't like WFH are old school bosses who don't trust their people, and the companies that don't allow it, are the ones that will miss out on talent, regardless of how chummy their culture is. Family trumps work, regardless of culture, and good companies maintain culture with a hybrid workforce. WFH has been a boon for recruiting for smart companies. Let's Occam's Razor this. Workers experienced flexibility for the first time in their careers and liked it, and due to stimulus and not spending any money for a year, have enough financial cushion to break free from the dead end jobs they were tied to, or jobs that want to take away the flexibility they've enjoyed over the past year.

Me too! It was a job where people would walk over ya and you had managers that would micromanage ya. It wasn’t a good environment

The pandemic woke me up to: “I could die tomorrow” since I actually knew people who died or YOUNG people in my family who went to the hospital and were on ventilators. I’ve always done what I loved, Thank God. Now I’m retired. It wasn’t easy, but as Joseph Campbell basically always said, you have to take your passion and find a way to make it work for you so you can exist in our world. You need to be the hero of the journey you take.

There are people who rather starve to death, but will never work a regular type of job. I wish we were all these way.

This is true, I put in my resignation and moved on because life is too short. It turned out to be the best thing ever.

I disagree with Dave and Ken on this one, WFH has been great for my husband, he is way more productive, saves money without the long commute. Like everything it's not right for everyone.

It really depends on the job, the person, and the workplace culture. Working remotely has been successful for me, because I'm a technical writer and an introvert. My work is very detailed and requires concentration, so I'm more productive when I can work in a quiet environment without distractions or interruptions. As an introvert, I enjoy solitude. And the team that I'm writing for is based in another state, six and a half hours from here by car. So going in to the office to attend meetings was never an option. (I hate meetings, so that was a selling point, for me.) They are happy with the quality of my work, and as long as it gets done on time, they're content to have me do it at my kitchen table. But many occupations are not so well suited to working remotely, and many people's personalities are not compatible with solitude. And, of course, some workplaces have a culture that doesn't go well with remote work. That's fine. But this is the best way for ME to work, and I'm glad that I live in a time when it's possible to do so.

I mean that’s also why it’s 40% and not 100%

We have realized what is really important in life.

men are always in search of greater meaning in life. the daily grind, while it provides food on the table, is not it. the sad part is so many people place so much importance to it then at the end of their life, reflects that the bulk of their life is completely wasted.
