Waiting to see if we break $205, will grab shares at $209 if it holds. Anyone else have thoughts on ZM?
PE of 6406. Seems like an excellent opportunity for some long dated puts. Can almost guarantee it'll be back down to acceptable levels after companies start letting workers back in.
It is fabrication that you can run a cohesive organizationby letting most workers work from home.More likely you will have workers go to a 3 day week with 12 hour shifts
Depends on the sector. In IT, everyone can work from home quite easily and across many different countries
I've worked remote for 5 years now. I've adapted to it but I can see how other people will find it challenging in my field (software engineering). I am fortunate enough to own a home and can create a separate "work space" for myself to split the feeling of home and work equally. I think what you say is true in general. The proponents of full remote work are speaking from their echo chambers and very loudly. It's not true for the general population and I have no doubt in my mind productivity across industries has diminished. Not even true for IT. A very specific portion of IT can but not every field. I can pick more fields that can't than those that can. Commercial software engineers in very niche industries (such as start ups) can. Large corporations that issue special laptops and VPNs generally not. Especially not regulated industries (developers and IT for hospitals, banks, investment firms, O&G, etc, etc). Like I said above even in industries such as mine that will likely remain mostly remote for the foreseeable future there are more people than cannot divorce themselves from home life long enough to do meaningful work. I do not have kids and the house is empty the majority of the day. Additionally, I have my own "work office" with all my work stuff in it separate from my "home office" where all my personal stuff is. To do remote work right is very difficult and costly. There is no doubt in my mind most industries will be pulling workers back into the office ASAP after this.
You can always find exceptions to a general statement and as above statement from gaussian it is not possible for "everyone" in IT to work from home.
I would say more easy for the large firms. I used to work from home even before the work from home discussion... Of course it's nice to go in and see people but is it possible to wfh permanently? Definitely. Even in the same office, you're on the phone because other people aren't in the same country.
