Bedrooms and Boardrooms
<span class="html-content"><p>Read with your mind! </p><p>One of the crazy things about the post-Covid era is the discussion about the ideal work environment. While we await the winner between bedrooms and boardrooms, it is clear that the future of work has forever changed. It's okay if you have a divergent opinion. Remote work has drastically changed the perception of work and the income game between distinct jobs. This may feel like an exaggeration, but I believe that most people may prefer remote work if it pays well and gives them a sense of "freedom." </p><p>Would onsite jobs go extinct? </p><p>My answer is no because some jobs require physical presence and AIs haven't been incorporated into every field. The great thing is that bedrooms have become boardrooms, all thanks to technology. You just have to get yourself an optimized workstation. This leads to my next point regarding the efficacy of doing remote work. My argument is not rooted in science but in the experiences of others and mine. I feel the novelty of remote work in many corners of the world is still largely misunderstood. Similarly, it's very tricky in the sense that it can give you the false impression that you have a lot of free time. Well, it may depend on the content of their jobs. I think companies should create milestones for employees working remotely to keep them in check. I mean, if I can get the job done in 3 hours at any point during the week, I might as well procrastinate the task. Think about it. </p><p>I equally think managing people working remotely is tricky, as the human connection may be absent. Well, I guess that's where hybrid work comes in. On the other side, if the task can be executed remotely, then companies should make allowances for that. It would save the employee money on transportation and save the company some costs. That's Nigeria speaking through me! </p><p>I guess onsite work gives employers the impression that they are in control. </p><p>"Employee wey wan run you street go still succeed ooo." Lol. I guess part of the worry employers have is that there are just too many distractions out there, and remote work gives employees the opportunity to utilize these distractions. Well, there's a valid point there, but it is what it is. </p><p>The post-covid workspace has taken on a new dimension as companies have transitioned from the traditional desk-chair-monitor setup to something more disruptive. In other words, "they've brought the bedroom into the boardroom or incorporated the bedroom into the design of the boardroom." This changes everything, and it makes employees more efficient. You can say it's still to ensure that employees come onsite! </p><p>We're now seeing more sustainable workspaces designed specifically for optimization. It's now very clear that little things like having a small flower on a desk or having more colors, humorous pictures, and some crazy pieces of furniture can influence employees positively. Even personnel management has changed due to remote work. One common denominator in the preceding lines is "evolve" or "change." It makes one think about the future of work. </p><p>Have we seen it all? </p><p>Screenshot your answer and check back in two years!</p><p><br></p> <p>Random thought: Imagine a remote VR workspace modeled after a company's on-site workspace. Now imagine team bonding in a VR workspace! Imagine if there were spectacles that gave an updated version of whatever you looked at. By implication, there'd be no trenches. I think it would change the meaning of luxury. I just made your mind SWERVE!</p><p><br></p> <p>#Swerve</p><p>#Learn Unlearn Relearn</p><p>#LEarn </p> </span>
