Main point: “Many viewers [of the TikTok video] unequivocally stated that there’s no benefit to working in an office over a remote position in the comments.”
More about it:
- A number of commenters didn’t like the idea of returning to the office. They seem to have a transactional view of work – you’re there to trade your labor for money.
- Others were fine with returning to the office. They seem to be enjoy the added dimension of relationships with co-workers.
- “More and more workers are looking for jobs that offer remote scheduling availability.”
- “Many businesses that transitioned employees to a work-from-home model during the COVID-19 pandemic have either stuck with remote offerings or created a hybrid schedule for its employees.”
- “…there are a number of companies that reported greater worker productivity and reduced overhead as a result of adopting remote schedules as well.”
Why it matters: The issue seems to revolve around 2 things:
- Ability of managers/supervisors to create objectives and measures appropriate for remote work and to hire people who can work in unsupervised situations.
- Creation of a workplace culture that makes workers want to be with each other.
