Forget a return to office: We’re living in the age of side hustles

[wxa7115]

Of course in this era there's many way to make money without need to work under your boss or company, but make sure you're need to have very good knowledge, skillful and has a wide connections. You can't just become a master of blockchain but you can't find the place how to sell your service, in this way you need a lot connection where someone can recommend your service to the clients that need it.

Honestly working your under boss or company doesn't have 100% guarantee you will not get kicked or fired, which mean every jobs has it own risk.

I guess it's the trend nowadays working as a freelancer, saving all the opportunities for your own self, without the need for a boss since you can be your own boss at your own work. However, for you to do that, you have to own some irresistible excellent qualities so that whatever work you're into, you'll definitely reach your client's high standards.

I think this is more of a forced choice for the majority of those which have some sort side job than a decision they have taken on their own.

If people were given the choice between being their own boss or working for a company I am sure most of them will pick a regular job with good salary, medical insurance and other perks, but those jobs are very scarce today, so it is not as if they have any choice, and as such the younger generations understand the market they are facing and they are doing the best they can to survive under the current conditions.

This is so true. I had the same thing nearly 10 years ago now, I worked at an office, had a side hustle and then I started to end up earning enough to quit my job, to be fair I got fired and did not quit, but the job I found was such a wonderful job that I kept working at it and now I am still working with it.

This is an amazing job for me and I am super happy about it and I am going to keep being happy about it for a long time as well. People who are not entirely sure about side hustles should try some, I guarantee you that it will give you some happiness. The weird part is, we used to spend this free time on hobbies, now we use them on trying to earn money.

I think happiness while on the job matters a lot. Like you stated, you are super happy and most likely would be happy for a long time as well. Employers who prioritize employee happiness and satisfaction on the job would have happy and satisfied employees who are able and willing to work and an employee that is actually willing to work and not just working for the pay is precious to the employer.

Side hustles were formerly looked down on as a thing poor to middle income families did to survive and make ends meet. But today, almost everyone has a side hustle to bolster their income gotten from their main gig. And it seems side hustles aren’t limited to poor to middle income earners anymore as people from all walks of life are now having second jobs and side hustles to earn some more.

Many people always make working in an office a hope for success and wealth, what we have to understand is that if we work in an office, we will get a salary that has been determined by the company, many are afraid to become entrepreneurs for fear of competition or other factors, if we Dare to do something that scares us, then do it immediately.

[Gyfts]

I mean insurances, 404k, paid vacations, bonuses, etc.
If not, I am afraid big companies might take advantage of freelance workers in order to get job done while having no legal strings attached to them. Or am I wrong on this one?

Uber and Lyft follow this business model (ride share servies). In jurisdictions where Uber and Lyft operate, their employees are considered contractors, or freelancers. It ensures that these companies do not need to pay out benefits to full time employees or adhere to federal regulations and worker protections. It's not necessarily a bad thing, though. The idea of freelance work is not adhering to a strict schedule and being in charge of your own time. If companies allow you the freedom to choose your own hours with at will employment at the expense of certain benefits, it isn't necessarily predatory.

Yes, we just spoke about this yesterday.... this sudden shift to "Work from home" have had a strange affect on the house prices in small towns. People can now work in any town they want, so they are moving to areas away from their town where their offices are situated. (Sometimes just going to their Office once or two times per month)

All meetings are done virtually and they do their admin work and/or programming etc... from another town. This has caused an increase of property prices in the strangest places.

The percentage of office work that can make someone rich is actually not that big in my country, working in our office has a set salary, benefits and other wages, many people even complain when they receive a salary at the beginning of the month, because they cannot afford to pay off loan deposits, vehicle loans, and housing installments with the salary they receive.

While people who have a business in the field of sales (traders), it turns out that their financial strength is much stronger compared to office workers. I think office jobs just put us in a comfort zone, but the opportunity to get richer is very contradictory.

Generation Z appears to be the largest freelancing demographic. Which makes sense given they're probably the most internet and technology literate. I think generation Z is also the largest crypto using and supporting demographic.

With concerns lingering over future job automation and lack of wage growth. Could side hustles and freelancing work represent the natural progression for the future of job markets? If this is true, then could crypto also be prominently positioned to best leverage and fulfill needed areas of freelance finance, given its flexibility, adaptability and rapid deployment capabilities.

I do think that we are experiencing the era of side-hustles given that the technology worldwide is also developing in a rapid pace. Bearing this in mind, this creates an opportunity for the younger generation to explore this venture and see if they can actually profit from these side-hustles.

To be honest, this is the perfect time for everyone to experience the profitable side of cryptocurrencies. Its reputation across the globe is steadily increasing and more and more companies are starting to adopt it on their financials.

My friend's company went into home office model during the pandemic and they remained there when they saw the bills. They had close to 100 people in 1 building and this is a software company so 100 computers running, lights, AC, security in the building, cleaning... That's a huge cost every month.

Performance wise they even improved when people started working from home because they were better rested. They could avoid traffic jams and sleep an hour longer every day and saved up on fuel.
I don't believe they're ever coming back from this.

Or maybe this is a normal option? Why should we be hired for a permanent job, and be in a sense a hostage of the employer? Today he pays you, tomorrow he can say that "the situation has changed, now there will be 50% of the agreements." Or - I laid off some of the staff, now you will still do the work for the laid-off? With outsourcing, you are almost on equal terms with the employer, you have a common interest in the result ...

Earlier i was so desperate to go to office. But since the time I have started working from home. i think I focus more on work
Otherwise in office we use to work less and gossip more and sometime during stress hour we have to tell other to please keep quiet for sometime

The crypto industry opened opportunities for earning in a lot of ways. Flippers and traders are the forefront and the ones who subjectively earns the most money due to the risky nature of their earning venture, whilst freelancers in the industry like coders, builders, community relations lead and partners, as well as other roles that pose importance to most projects thrived in the crypto-based salary. I myself earned a couple thousands just by doing a couple side hustles in a year after COVID-19 has struck.

[Cryptomultiplier]

In as much as people or generation Z are getting more adept with remote work and earning from Cryptos, the normal job employment is not going to fade away anytime soon. Not every one has the brain power or serenity to fulfill easy set personal tasks, or even think with foresight, not everyone can work alone without needing an occasional supervision to avoid mistakes.
The office is like a long standing tradition from time. Even if technology advances to suit remote work earning, side hustles will never erode the office space.  
If a Bitcoin group can sometime back, acquire an old bank in the U.S of A all because of its license and also other structures built in correspondence to the acceptance of crypto currency, it only goes to show how the structure of an office space where like minded individuals working toward a certain goal can be. People who have side hustles must still meet at a certain place too from time to time. Why not call their meeting point an office?

[blockman]

The gig economy is booming and many are enticed in doing and continuing it because it just fits what they like, living doing what they like and at the same time working flexibly.
One can have a remote(office) job and then get employed and get paid with crypto depending on the skills that he gets. But I think there's such demand that will come in the next bull run but for this time, there's not that much demand because too many crypto companies had laid off their thousands of employees.

If you are a company owner and able to see up these huge changes and we know that if we do save up some expenses + better productivity compared into those office kind of venue then why would really be need to
go back? Pretty sure it would really be that ending up on being permanent because they've seen that there are really some changes and of course it is really that less expense which it would really be ending up
on becoming the standard.If the company owner do see less productivity then they would really be surely be going back into those normal conditions or situations before such change because of the pandemic.
Cant really be that surprising that we are really that moving into an era where work could really be done remotely.

I think side hustle is a great option
but its not that easy to run another business with job and home. But you have to give up your sleep time and your social meet up to be hustler

Actually controlling a business at home is commonplace, when we make a home for our office then time management is the most important thing, many people fail because they waste too much time at home, and of course continuing to learn and see opportunities in the market is the thing important to be successful from home.

I have seen the failure of some people who waste more time at home in the past. But for now I have seen a lot of changes that have taken place where more people have changed their front yard for business offices and also for small shops to sell which can keep their home economy rotating every day. Thus no more time will be wasted when they are constantly at home managing the work or business that has been built by themselves.

I am not well informed about the laws in the United States but I see a problem about being a freelancer at full time and the fact this could become the new standard.
Do freelancers even receive benefits which hired workers are supposed to have by law?

I mean insurances, 404k, paid vacations, bonuses, etc.
If not, I am afraid big companies might take advantage of freelance workers in order to get job done while having no legal strings attached to them. Or am I wrong on this one?

Hmmm well it depends to his or her client. Some of get paid just for the monthly salary, some our lucky to have some paid benefits, I don't know if this applies to other countries as well but in here we can get 13 month when you working in a company some clients in freelancing give money and follow this some doesn't, some will give you paid leaves some will not since you are working remotely.

Paid leaves or those overtime do usually be possible on government related jobs which it is really that something you could really be able to see here on our country but speaking about private sectors then it is really

totally opposite.In overall in speaking about the salary rates then its never been enough in todays needs and prices which is really that soaring up high.It is really just wise for you to find out other source
of income which you should really have despite on having your own day job.Pretty sure that it wont really be just enough unless if you are on a managerial or executive position then it might
be considerable but if you are places on the bottom of the chain? Then what you should gonna do? This is why you should really be wise on taking up some decisions on dealing up with
something which you could really see some benefits or really could help you out.

In any case, the employer wants to control his employees and the best way to do this is to work in the office. Let Covid 19 and the events that followed have made some adjustments to the ways and popularity of types of work, but still no one is going to cancel traditional types of work and many large corporations have begun to force their employees to return to their offices.  It is not for nothing that Elon Musk, after acquiring control over Twitter, has an irreconcilable struggle with the remote method of work. By the way, do not confuse freelancing and outsourcing, if many companies are willing to outsource some of their activities, but only a few are willing to give it into the hands of freelance freelancers. Nevertheless, service subordination is a great thing and allows you to achieve incredible things in business.Now, regarding freelancing in the cryptocurrency sphere, I would like to say the following: because of the history of the subject itself, the positions of freelancing are strong here, but the more the industry develops and, accordingly, the larger the size of companies, the greater the role of traditional methods of building the labor process. Therefore, it's a little premature to say that it's time to forget about returning to the offices.
