Old-fashioned employees memorized old scripts and issue reactionary RTO orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If you have the tech, use it, but C-Suite who don&#8217;t actually know what they are doing &#8212; who want to play politics, manipulate people, sexually harass them, and have affairs &#8212; are the ones who hate remote work. Those control freaks live in a bygone era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Remote workers are the future of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">As someone who mostly worked remotely,  can tell you I accomplish much more than those who schlep to and from the office. I wrote 21 books from home. I taught kintsugi and communications from home. I worked on US true crime television show from home. The Farm workers have to be less focused and more exhausted. Traveling to and from the office is a waste of life activity than the Haven workers who do it from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">And when people are lying on their death beds, not a single person says, &#8220;Oh! If I only spent more time at the office!&#8221; They say, &#8220;If I only spent more time with loved ones.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">When you work from home, you are in a more relaxed state of mind, and hence, are more productive. Employers think that stress makes employees better, and nothing can be further from the truth. Stress kills. Calmness doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">But the article doesn&#8217;t give remote workers their due: it flat out states that remote employees come to court prepared with documentation and their employers don&#8217;t. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Because those employees have to be more disciplined and know their worth &#8212; they are more organized and thorough. Officer workers are cultivated to be inferior because they are forced into the atmosphere of a manufactured theatre of making them stressed and edgy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Employers come in unprepared because they actually <em>believe <\/em>their own narcissism: they constructed this artificial theatre where they are on top of a fabricated pecking order, and then think their manufactured ecosystem is reality. They strut into court wearing their paper crowns and scripted narratives, only to discover they are the <em>inferior <\/em>worker to the unfairly dismissed remote worker. They mistake a title as some sort of measure of their worth. And it&#8217;s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Remote workers win because &#8212; <em>ta da ! <\/em>&#8212; they are in the right, and they know it. If they weren&#8217;t, their documentation would mean nothing. The judge looks at the paper trail and can see this employee could be trusted to work from home, produced, and then was <em>punished <\/em>for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">With video conferencing and AI, remote workers have the option of becoming CEOs of their own companies. They can build an empire from their laptop at home. They don&#8217;t have to live a conventional life. They can do it from a home office or RV and travel. They don&#8217;t have to memorize rigged rote rules and form unnatural habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The nature of work is changing. The great employees &#8212; the ones with the presence of mind to understand the stakes and their worth &#8212; don&#8217;t give in to the temps tantrums of employers who don&#8217;t even look at the calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It&#8217;s almost 2026. Video conferencing and AI make the office obsolete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">What actually is hidden in this piece is that the inferior worker has a bigger title than the one who was dismissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">And that says a lot about why businesses keep failing when we have the tools to make the future the present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article in the National Post was framed backwards.
