re: Development: WFH vs homeschooling

Why do LSU football players need to be in Baton Rouge. I mean, they can do all their workouts from home and communicate with their teammates remotely. Just show up for the game is that’s even necessary.

Nothing is lost, right?

God bless this is retarded.


85 scholarship players do not have the necessary equipment to train adequately at their homes for one. They have to take classes that are only offered on campus for another thing.

Also, if for some reason I stumble my way to senior manager/director/partner

You won’t if you’re remote, which is fine, but it’s about sales and book at that point.

I am good at it and I see no reason, barring a layoff, I can't make it to manager and find a remote role elsewhere.

---

You’ll definitely be first on the chopping block and with the amount of transactions and capital raising, I’d be worried about it if I were you.

You know I’m not an arse in seats guy, I’ve only been in the office one day this week, but out of sight out of mind is real too. Especially at the staff level.

I’m not.

I know layoffs are a part of this business. It’s not something I worry about. If I get laid off I’ll be fine.

Unless I’m the guy with my neck on the line, or I have a desire to be, there’s no point in worrying about keeping a job or going the extra mile.

I do my job. I do a good job. I’m rated higher than most of my peers. I do not give 100% effort. I barely give 50% effort. I have managers and partners with whom I’m close so I ensure I stay on engagements. They know that when I’m on their jobs the work is getting done. None of them are in office workers.

If I wanted to give 100% effort, I’d find a local CPA close to retirement and bust my arse bringing in business, learning all aspects from them, and then taking over their shop when they retired.

You get groomed and promoted within a company culture learned through the three Cs and by bring more to the table than ‘I did my job’ so gimme this.

It's not 1992. There have never been more ways for "communication, coordination, collaboration" to be accomplished.

I guess I don't get the hate for WFH. If you're a shitty employee at home you're likely a shitty employee in an office.

Idk if it's fair to just pin it on being homeschooled. I used to work in public education and the amount of kids who weren't socially awkward in my classes I could count on one hand.

---

Y a, good point.
All I know is my teenage kids went to public schools and they both are very outgoing and popular. Both have a ton of friends, boyfriend/girlfriend and are in multiple extra curricular programs including athletics.
My niece and nephew have no experience with any of that. It’s kinda sad actually.

lack social and other developmental skills

a lot of kids I know lack social skills and they go to school - what other developmental skills do homeschoolers lack?

quote:

---

never interacting with other kids their age

---

why do you need to interact with kids your own age? Is everyone in your office the same age? In the office where I work (part time because I homeschool my kids in the morning) none of us are the same age. Some of us are very close in age - just like my kids are close in age.

communication, coordination, collaboration

this needs to be learned before a child ever goes to kindergarten

We don’t hire you to ‘do your job’. We hire you to be part of the company.

this is bull shite

quote:

You don’t get promoted by simply getting your job done.

---

I should because that is why I was hired

quote:

---

You want to be homeschooled or do you want to grow with a team?

---

there’s no reason why this can’t go together - have you ever seen a big, homeschooled family? That’s working on a team right there. Even in my own house I could not get everything done without the help of my husband and older kids.

quote:

---

If you're hiring me to be part of the company, give me part of the company.

---

You're getting a paycheck, aren't you?

quote:

---

Otherwise, frick off. I'm doing what's in the job description and nothing more.

---

Then be content with only doing your current job, and nothing more.

Why is there this wrong assumption that homeschoolers aren’t socialized? Our kids went on a ton of field trips, excursions, prom and even HS cruises. They were not socialized with the deviants of public schools, if that’s what you’re wanting. Both are in college and doing well. One on track for law school and the other nursing.

And that's going to happen by working from home?

If home is the said environment

But then again I’m a Work From Truck guy.
