Remote Live Philosophy

4 pointsby Pabblo001about 5 years ago
The COVID crisis forces many wanted &#x2F; unwanted changes in our lives.<p>However for me it doesn&#x27;t look that bad.. - I work from home I don&#x27;t lose 2hrs daily to commute. Salary was reduced. Others were fired. - I do work outs daily (got gym at home) - My children have online lessons organized by school, I&#x27;m feeling like having direct impact on their education now. - Downside is only I cannot go outside wherever I want. - Children have limited social opportunities - To put it straight, I have time now for my family&#x2F;myself.<p>The point is: I can&#x27;t imagine of returning back to the office. I don&#x27;t understand why CEOs&#x2F;Politicians will not changed their mindset to keep most aspects of our live remotely.<p># Companies are spending millions for renting buildings Solution: Cut it by half, and have desk shared between 2&#x2F;3 people. - It&#x27;s a big savings for a companies. Instead of adjusting the salaries, why they will not do it? - In my case, majority of the meetings are on conf calls. Only sensitive topics are managed on face-to-face meetings. - I&#x27;m aware that it&#x27;s probably bigger portion of people required to be onsite like restaurants, manufacturing etc. But for the rest employees, it will be pure saving for companies.<p># Education can be in majority online. Keep current schools open but give possibility of online education to others. Keep only sports &#x2F; tools required lessons at School building, rest you can do from home. Exams at school. Easy..<p># Whole remote philosophy can be applied for majority of what we do. - Being most of the time at home will actually forced me to go outside. I will feel very uncomfortably staying at home whole days. - Local community overall will be in better shape. Local stores more profitable etc..<p>I hope some CEO&#x2F;politicians will read this and think about it in different perspective and not that people will be lazy at home.<p>That&#x27;s what I think. What do you think?
