The New Remote Modern Workplace

When is the “office” concept going to die? I have a cell phone and laptop. I couldn’t get to my office today but worked on my computer and still did two conference calls I was scheduled to do. Second call had several other people working remotely.
It’s not possible to eliminate an office setting for all but a few industries and positions. And it will always be easier to interact with coworkers when your in the same room. But in an emergency most people have the ability now to accomplish everything they could do at the office from home.
But with remote connections, cell phones, video conferencing, the “need” to have your butt in seat at your desk isn’t what it used to be. Yet there are still people that can’t get past that. Is it going to take the boomers finally leaving the workplace to stop the idea that productivity is equal to the amount of time you spend at your desk?

It’s definitely picking up steam. I know of several nonprofit employees that are working remotely across the country.

Not when your kids are up your butt all day. But otherwise, yes.

How am I supposed to sexually harass these broads from home?

My office is actually in San Francisco and I live in Pennsylvania. I am at the office maybe 6 weeks a year.
I've worked remotely from home for months at a time before. It would be weird going back to a job that requires me to be in an office every day.

I’m lazy when I work from home. Feel like I have to be more productive in an office.

If proper network/computer security precautions are taken, yes. If not, every remote employee could be a potential source of an information breach. It's much easier to secure an enterprise grade firewall behind an internet circuit than it is the various home routers with possible poor security.

I'd be in favor of 3/2 work week with 3 office days and 2 home

I don't know why a lot of employers do that. Someone else can use your desk on days when you work from home. They could save a lot on energy and rent.

Working from home is cool for a day or two but it gets old quick.
I need to be out in the world and seeing people

Bosses would have a tough time trusting their employees are remaining productive while at home. Sure it can be done, but all the ones I know that "work from home" will always find tha extra time to work in the yard, run a few errands, etc. that would not otherwise be able to do while at an office all day.

It does. I miss the personal communication and being around people sometimes.

It's becoming more common. We have several employees that live in other states and work remotely

I let my employees work one day from home each week.

I don’t need to repeat myself, now do I?

I always laugh when the mr moms on here say they "work from home"

The commercial real estate industry will do all it can to prevent this.

When they can trust you to work and not frick around all day on Tigerdroppings.
At least at work you have the chance that someone checks your screen.
