The COVID crisis forces many wanted / unwanted changes in our lives.<p>However for me it doesn't look that bad..
- I work from home I don'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'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/myself.<p>The point is:
I can't imagine of returning back to the office. I don't understand why CEOs/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 2/3 people.
- It'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'm aware that it'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 / 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/politicians will read this and think about it in different perspective and not that people will be lazy at home.<p>That's what I think. What do you think?
