Flexible Work Schedule

[bitzizzix]

Of course, flexible work will increase productivity and be able to manage our own time, because we will know whether the body is in prime condition or not.
and when the body is in prime condition we can choose the time to get the job done well no matter how much work is done because the body is in top condition.
and flexible work which I mean can be at home or at the office depending on the job, and there is an advantage of working flexibly at home is that it can save expenses and so on.

Not really, that hot cup of coffee actually made me dizzy and sleepy af while listening to a lecture, we recently had online exams and everyone just cheated getting cent percent marks and assignments are all same etc. It feels heavenly to be on bed and doing all the stuffs but it is also devaluing the leisure time, if you are in leisure all the time, how will you go back to normal mode when it's time?! That will be really hard for a lot of people.

It's definitely not a panacea, although Covid-19 taught us that some activities, can actually be done from the comfort of our own house, having several advantages in the process. What is also frustrating me is what you just mentioned, after the current crisis, how are we going to return to our daily habits?
I highly believe that some things will remain the same, even after the pandemic.

Many though about the latest process will remain but since majority of employer want to see their guys physically and same as you I believe when we get things back to normal we will get things in the same form but what good thing here is we learn something new which gives us oportunity to earn side incomes and for starting up they shouldn't exchange their main to their side income not unless this gives them a good true potential and give them long term stability.

It is quite important that we realized it's a personal preference thing if we want to, and it could not be something that business should force us to do. If a person does his job at home and he does his job without any problems, he could stay at home and do whatever he wants without a problem.

If there is a person who wants to go to office, that means he could go to office, there won't be any problems with neither of them as long as people do their job. I have seen plenty of people who got fired at office which means they were a bad employee and I have seen a lot of projects where people from all over the world got together and built something great at the comforts of their home. It shows you that some things could be done from home as long as workers are willing to do their part. Of course that is not going to mean that we should all stay at home, some jobs require you to go, like how can you be a chef at home? You have to go to restaurant, but the ones that can stay should have that option.

Really, online platforms are very flexible for workers and users. It saves lot of time, energy, money etc. It increases the output of work and allow people to do multi purpose at a time. One can handle his important work in his free time and so on. So I like most the time we passing in home with work.

Many industries are affected with this transition, and if the pandemic continues many companies will force to work at home and you know what, this is the big problem of real estate right now, many leasing properties are struggling as well because tenants are leaving already and adopting the work from home schedule. Flexible work schedule is a good life work balance actually, this is good if you are being paid well for working at home.

With this new setup, if you are a family man you'll be loving this as you are able to watch on your kids while you are working, if the compensations are just the same surely you'll be able to save a lot.

Online job really brings comfort you'll just need to work on it and along the way you'll see all the benefits physically and mentally
plus financial aspect as well.

Flexible work is wonderful. As you say, we can work at any time, any place, and on any day. Everything is apparently up to our own decision. It makes you become more creative, gives you freedom and joy. However, it also has side effects. If you are a lazy person who only expects people to give you work and yell at you all the time, flexible work will make you less productive

Thus, in order to effectively utilize flexible work, you need to be disciplined and consistent. Make your own rule and try not to violate it. The less violation you make, the more successful you become. Being disciplined actually the key to achieving almost everything in your life. It has led many people become millionaires or even billionaires

[Alucard1]

A flexible work schedule is really good but it still depends on your work, I have a friend who has a flexible work schedule because his work needs only a quota for one week and if he already reached that one for only 2-3 days then he doesn't need to work anymore and the payments would cover the 7 days and all those who work from how can also have the flexible hours because they can still do something at their home while working as long as it won't affect their job.

In order not to deviate from your target accomplishments, before the start of your work schedule, the objectives should be very clear. So you know, you will be working on those particular objectives. It is easy to lose your focus if you don't know what you are trying to achieve. But if you know where you are heading, you can strategize how to achieve those targets. So even if you take a break during that time period, you still have your goals in mind. This is really good for those people who can work from home. But this is not for people who need to do their job in the laboratories, or construction sites. They need their actual expertise to do the job.

I also think that we should be given the option to choose, pandemic or not. For me particularly, my internship is currently conducted remotely, which I adore, it's a 20-minute drive to get there, working from home is saving me time and money. When the lockdown measures are eased, I'll have the option to either continue from home, or work with physical presence. I'll choose the first option.

That's a better coverage of working schedule. I hope that someday that most of the corporation will adopt that kind of working schedule. Because most of the companies today are looking at the day to day progress of every employee. While the task that can be done for the whole day can be done by a few hours, they want to spend the whole remaining 8-9 hours of that employee staying on the office hours. I've also heard a company that you have mentioned about your friend's working schedule and most of the employees are very productive and happy, that's real work and life balance.

Flexible working schedule can be a good one but still that depends on the type of work you are up to for the reason that not all works can be suitable on working just by staying home due to the reason that productions and other essential things do need work force being carried out personally and in need to allot time and effort to finish the task. Now in the situation we are currently up to, flexible working schedule are being established and implemented on some field amid with the presence of current situation of the pandemic. We are already in a year within the situation and what I can say that this works on just doing fine for we have survived a year of pandemic dealing with flexible working schedule because what the important thing is that we can still work into our jobs to be able to earn money through it.

I've seen them all, Lol, but I can't say what I prefer though. Of course we always wanted more free time from work and more time for our family. But I'm everyone here can adjust to any schedule, that's human nature. So there's a lot of positive and negative from working from home, same as working in the office. So for me, there is no best time, it's about being productive in the end.

We would all like to have more free time of course, I think that the common working schedules do not offer that, unless you're working 5 days a week. I wouldn't actually mind to work 4 days a week, 10± hours daily. It would lead to a lot of free time for activities, trips and so on. Flexible work arrangements are the best if we're talking about leisure time.

Working from home killed productivity tbh.

I get that it's great working from home and not having to commute, but if I owned any office related business, in what way can you verify that work is actually getting done without literally having to babysit employees and monitor their every move? I know companies will install tracking software on business computers, and I would hate to be using something like that at home.

The way we work is going to have to be reimagined if we want this model to work out, however I think that is relatively easy instead of the current jobs in which your functions are kind of nebulous we're going to have very specific responsibilities for each person and if something is not being done in time then you are going to know who is exactly failing, you don't really need tracking software for that, but if that were the case as long as you only have that software in a computer that is given to you by the company then I will not care because I will use the computer given to me only for work and I will use my own computer for my own entertainment.

[newwest]

It is beneficial to have an option where users might be able to choose their working patter like, some of them are ready to stretch for 4 days and take a 3-day holidays. Some would like to have a light workday and ready to work few hours each day and even can work on Saturday for few hours. Work from home is now the norm and coming years many things would be revolving around it.

I think that both working models may face issues with productivity, one way or another, you can also get distracted with co-workers and so on, if you're working in an office. Same goes to working from home, your surroundings may distract you, but as I've already mentioned, that can even occur while working in person.

I agree that a flexible work schedule must be carried out, because it can prevent the spread of the corona virus. Because not all workers need
to come to the office, only certain positions must stay in the office. In my opinion, all jobs that can be done at home, it is better for the worker
not to go to the office. Moreover, after working at home for a few months, I found out that I got more benefits from running a flexible work schedule.
Such as saving time, saving costs, having quality time with family, reducing stress and having maximum rest time.

I think we should work flexibly and arrange easy things first and foremost and spare time. Important tasks take more time. It is necessary to arrange them in a sequence depending on the level of importance and time required. To be effective you need to write down your notebooks and stick to them so that you can finish the progress faster.

We should have flexible work schedule and even working from home even after corona virus is over. What's the point of being at the job if you could do it at home? I am not saying that everyone should be at home, like many said there are jobs that has to be carried out at work, you can't expect the whole world to be at home, even during a pandemic period we had grocery store workers who were hard at work every single day.

However one thing is for sure, if your job could be carried at home, if you are a professional whose job is also done like freelancer, a coder, a designer, a marketing person, whatever it can be that's doable at home, you should be given that choice easily. If not, people are making their own home business and working there, there are more people working at home these days than any time in history and it will get bigger over time if we do not let them.

[magneto]

Honestly, I would absolutely hate the idea of this. But I also know people who would absolutely love it.

I just feel like this will eat into more of your off-time even though theoretically you shouldn't be disadvantaged from such an arrangement. It's essentially the same story as work-from-home. It supposedly gives you more flexibility and saves travel time, but workers including the GS analysts who came out with the slide deck are just being overworked to death instead.

To each their own I guess, but I would say it's a bit gimmicky and practically it'll just lead to more tasks to be done.
