do the "work from home" buffoons need to get off their arse? Or is MANDEEP coming to get you!

[Dognacious]

I’m a essential services worker as in I look after big commercial buildings in the city so fire systems ect so it’s funny because I’m seeing the decline first hand in commercial real estate but I know most people that work from home will fight tooth and nail to keep it because it’s a bludge. Change my mind.

Ive been working from home 3 years, nearly 4. My job and my kpis are exactly the same as before. The business has proven we are actually more productive at home, and sickies have halved. Really depends on your job. My job coukd be done on the moon if u have a good internet connection

The covid myth is a whole other argument bro. WFH makes sense in a lot of cases regardless of what strain of flu is doing the rounds.

Exactly you don't need to be ordered by dictators.

If I had to work from home during COVID I would have lost it so I’m grateful but I do know some people that took the piss big time. Would tell me they are working harder than they ever had but would tell me everything about the latest Netflix series as well and how Bondi was lovely for a swim today.

You're just jealous because you have to go to the Nuclear Panner Plant while I get to sleep in.

I’m not sure they’ll let me bring the reactor home?

you said it yourself… this work from home baloney is doing yourself out of a job.. if you can do your job from the moon as you say, you can also do it from India and at half the price… bosses will wise up when they get a bit of pressure on the bottom line. Trust me this work from home holiday is temporary..

Plus it’s so impersonal if bosses want to fire someone.. you become just a number working from Home... Just send you an email to fire you, goodbye to you, an hour later hello Mandeep from India!!

 

[Blue_boost]

If I was in the boardroom looking at a flat
Months profitability, first thing I’d say is do we need to carry all these work from home leeches… let’s send them on a permanent holiday if that’s what they want.. the shenanigans are over.. let not pay them to sit on their arse watching Netflix

I’ll call India a minute later and get Mandeep for half the price that will work twice the hours (and not watch Netflix)

 

[Wahesh]

an hour later hello Nasheed from India!!

Fixed this bit for you brother.

Well the thing is every since WFH became mandatory I started going to bed later and started watching a Netflix movie and reviewing it on here every day (everyone here was witness to this). So I found the time to watch Netflix more later at night because I would be waking up the next morning and starting work, eliminating 1 hour of commuting and 30 mins or brekky/shower/getting dressed... so I still clock on and off at the same time, but just had the extra 90s mins in the morning, so would go to bed 90 mins later at night.

No time spent watching Netflix while at work. More time watching Netflix after work.

That’s fair enough.

Nasheed here,
Aussies need to work from home.
Urban sprawl is big
What annoys me is all remote work in Australia says ‘work one day a week from the office’ which stresses me out so I don’t apply. Stay on Centrelink.
If I get a fully remote role I could work then slowly transition to living and working in Lebanon.
A proper country that isn’t BS

I work for a place that is forbidden by law to outsource overseas, so no im not at risk of losing my job. My previous job was the same (ATO)

@Wahesh & @Nasheed , lets all remember we are on the same side here, its the stay at home buffoons that need an attitude correction.

These buffoons make Australia uncompetitive on a world scale.. Australians want to be paid well for doing nothing, so how does that translate to goods and services offered? way overpriced compared to other markets. Then they cry that they cannot afford things so they want more money for doing nothing. People in Australia needs a mindset to create some value add like the chinese.

Instead, Australians they wanna be on holidays all the time, go into the office 1-2 times a month and watch netflix and hang around at the shopping mall.

it’s almost impossible to be efficient and work from home.. it’s full of interruptions.. like all those people that say they exercise at home using a home gym.. they never do it

that’s why going to a gym is far better to exercise, it’s focused and no distractions.. much like a workplace, go there to work, be focused, have all the stakeholders available to you, all the information you need available to you, then go home to put your feet up, watch Netflix or paint the living room. Don’t mix the two.

Does the mailman interrupt you at the office? Did you know that being interrupted can take up to 20 mins to refocus … how can you work with all the interruptions at home or whilst watching opera?

that log was a best case scenario… most of the work from home bludgers aren’t even at home.. they log on and go to the beach
