Well it's hard to sympathize when you've only ever worked in a company culture. (AND by the way, always 8 to 5.....do people really work 9 to 5 and why have I never had such a job??). I never had the option to work from home, and in a way I'm glad because I know it would have been 92 percent playing on the computer and maybe 3 percent work and 5 percent going to the bathroom to pee.
So i see where employers are coming from in wanting to get back to the office environment again. It is almost impossible to track what workers are really doing from home, especially if they are actually taking naps and then doing asshole things in the evening that ruin your work life the next day!
People acting like you can't fire bad employees just because they work from home.
Ok then.
It's impossible to track workers at work too though... Everyone is whereever to do whatever. At least in Europe.
True, it's not easy no matter where you are.
I think the lack of monitoring can be helpful to employees: rather than breathing over their necks (whether physically or digitally), you should enable them to make their own decisions, hold them responsible for them, and give them ownership over their own work. A someone who's been working non-stop since university, the only places where I truly thrive and want to take most responsibility are the places that don't police me, the places that are transparent but not intruding.
Maybe working from home is one way to achieve this. Having good online etiquette when using stuff like Slack or Discord can mitigate problems that arise from physical distance. Out to do an urgent shopping task? Fine, just say so on your Discord status! Then you become visible to everyone without having to be in the same room or building.
Well that's true also. I always preferred a work environment where I was trusted to do what I was hired to do and then left to do it without people "helicoptering" over me monitoring me all the time. Although to be honest, I've rarely had that kind of freedom.
I too have thrived more in those environments where I'm trusted and not overly criticized or policed all the time. But, I wasn't one to slack off if I was left to my own devices, I always took the reigns and did the work that needed doing.
It's a different world today and with many more employees working from home, the idea of using Discord or something similar to handle situations where you need to away for a time or unreachable for a time seems like a great idea to me!
