It seems unlikely to me that the disaster that's been schooling-from-home has somehow been a stunning success for work-from-home, and I think most employers see it.
- switch007 6y agoYup. Publicly employers are stating how important children are and that they're fully understanding. No doubt in the board room it's a bit more like "stupid children distracting our employees. This needs fixing"
- derekperkins 6y agoThose can both be simultaneously true. Employers can be supportive while still trying to regain lost productivity.
- ska 6y agoIn my broader circles, there is a massive divide in this between people with school-age children and people without, which shouldn't be a surprise I suppose.
- sisu_man 6y agoWork from home has given me opportunities that were previously unavailable because companies did not want remote employees (it was not in the culture). I can now pick up some part time contract work at these places to help save $$. IMO WFH is a lot easier on smaller teams/org's, where you have deep expertise. It is not a pancea, but it certainly is better then no WFH.
- DebtDeflation 6y agoWhat's optimal for a 9 year old schoolchild isn't necessarily optimal for a 30 year old professional.
- missedthecue 6y agoCollege from home has been a spectacular failure as well
- dont__panic 6y agoBecause college in the United States, at least, is more about networking and moving out of your parents' home than actually attending classes.
