[@AaronAlso]

Josh, I want to thank you and HR Lady for these video and your honest take on the corporate ladder/struture/lifestyle/bullshit. Based on your honesty I was able to overcome some personal anxieties about working for a company. I established my boundaries, and I applied to jobs in my preferred career field even if I might not have met their exact qualifications. My line of work requires going into the lab and using very expensive and precise equipment. It took months, hundreds of apps, a few interviews, but I finally found someone willing to respect my boundaries. I have been there for about a week and it is going great. I enjoy what I'm doing, the people I'm working with and I don't feel trapped or obligated to do more than my share. I"m being paid better than I ever have in this field and generally things are looking up. Thank you for your candor and please keep fighting the good fight.

Message to Corporate America: YOU DID THIS. You made working in an office way more awful than it has to be. You consolidated locations so that people have to commute for hours a day to and from that cold, bright, loud, smelly, uncomfortable, distraction-filled panopticon of an office. You pushed us all into cars and destroyed public transit so that the commute is as long, stressful, and inefficient as possible. You flushed the relationship between employer and employee down the drain in the pursuit of double-digit growth. Don't fucking sit in your home studio and tell us that we are missing out on some amazing community experience because "it takes a village" when you carpet-bombed that village and then salted the earth decades ago.

I'll tell you what they think. It's not that hard to figure out, because the same kind of people that go to positions of power in let's say politics, are the same kind of people that climb the corporate ladder rather effortlessly. I didn't see this until I joined my current employer of the last 8 years. It's all about being willing and able to stuck your nose into other people business and loving to hear the sound of your own voice. You will advance much quicker if you learn who are the people deciding if you apply for higher position, if you pass and then either befriend them, or feed them with juicy information about their underlings. What ever gives them an edge over the goals they are trying to per sue at the moment, is very valuable information. Basically, they are rather convinced that they got the position based on their own self worth, intelligence, wisdom, at the same time blacking out about the number of favors or back stabbings, needed, to get where they need to get. For them anybody below them is hardly even worthy of consideration. If you aren't directly under them, you are just a nobody. A resource to be used, you are a rube and you know a thing about rubes...? There is another one being born every second.

I'm not tryna say your wrong but you kinda are. And saying that work and your home life should be separate is the best thing for a person. They don't feel their job is intruding in on their life as much. When I'm at home I have to manage children etc whilst I'm working. every bit of work just intrudes on your private life making me feel worse. It's not in my best interest to continue that type of lifestyle..mixing my work and home life is stupidest d. There's a reason people have done work at offices for so long. It just works. It helps people be more productive etc. It also keeps them from the hassle of managing two things at once..you can have a workplace and take care of your kids. Either way those kids will be gone 8 hours a day 5 days a week once they start going to school..so whats wrong with you as an adult doing the same thing. You go to work for 8 hours come home and enjoy time with your kids. That's the perfect work life balance that one should strive for. Not you sit at home 8 hours a day "working" for your kids to come home that's just not great.

Go right ahead! it's cool do your thing, power to you! But don't assume your problems are other people's problems. There are people who work from home and manage the kids just fine. There are people who don't have kids and have no problems being at home. Accept that there are people who work from home and they thrive in that. They are the most productive and love the control over their life and office. Live and let live and stop assuming problems that don't exist for the vast majority of us working from home. Cheers

Perfectly stated!

[@kingcupcakes5171]

@@likeablecloud2454 Its a case to case basis, there are people who work better in offices and there are people who don't. It's counterproductive to have to wake up at 4:30am in the morning to go to an 8am job because of commute hours and spend another 2~3 hours stuck in traffic going home. Similarly if work is only a walk or a quick bike away its probably better to go there. Ask people if they would choose a job with lower pay but has wfh benefits or a job with higher pay but is 5 days a week in office and most of them would choose the former. Not everyone has cars, not everyone has kids, and not everyone wants half of their take home salary going to rent or gas money. The reason why 'it works' working in offices is because 'it works for the company'. Its easier to manipulate people in person than it is online, its easier to squeeze out every bit of productivity out of them without any pay by gaslighting them about culture ethics and family, its easier to hold them in the offices longer because they'd rather stay until midnight for traffic to die down or setup a pantry so they don't have to go out the offices to eat.

I'm a boomer. The old rule of standard in the 80s was if you haven't moved up in 3yrs you jump to a new firm. Today it's, "if my quality of life goes down while I work for you, I'm gone." With remote work, you just send and email. No office bullshit politics. Clock you time and punch out. Take you lunch. As long as you are doing the work, that you agreed to do, why do you Need to come into the office? The CEO, HR mangers, top supervisory managers don't have an answer. It all comes down to them controlling you. Power. A great example, and these execs are trying to avoid it, is the travel nurse industry. Travel nurses, in their contracts, set the hours they will work at the facility. And the permanent staff have to work around those schedules. Remember, you are trading dollars for hours. Your hours for their dollars. Doesn't matter if it's hourly or salary. Ultimately these CEOS and HR managers do not want to pay the wages to hire the best performers. They want to hire the best "team members ". If your company's morale is low, you see them all fist bumping, etc... There is NO TEAM when it comes to paying mortgage/rent, utilities, car payments etc....ask anyone that's a commission sales professional.

I think the reason some CEOs and upper-level managers want people back in the office is because it made them feel good, that they could physically see and experience themselves as being powerful and above others. They miss that. Even if it means trying to force employees to waste their time, money, health and lose their freedom to take care of family, all in order to feel in-charge again. People need to fight back and never accept any jobs that want you to come to an office when you can simply do the same tasks at home. As for others that actually do require physical presence in order to accomplish them, let the market adjust to what those positions should be worth.

I’m able to get clear on what I need to work on each day, make my schedule how I want, and produce results! The only thing that is missing is incentives for getting work done and going above and beyond. I’m about to ask for a raise, or at least tell them I expect one in the next 6 months.

I've gotten to spend more time with the baby than I have with the other two when I worked 45 minutes from home. I'm happier, I'm more productive and because my team is already spread all over the state, it's going to stay WFH (or at least a 50/50 hybrid for the positions require on-site work). WFH saves the company money in real estate costs, saves the worker in gas and time. If you are really worried about face time, have periodic team meetings in-person. I do that with my team. Once a month we come in at the end of the month to have a monthly review and some food. Get a chance to see each other in person, but it's not something that is necessary. In fact, as needed we've skipped it due to gas prices or other external factors. The team is still productive either way because I and the team leads under me treat them like adults.
