Top executives at Netflix, BlackRock and other companies weigh in on at-home arrangements, office reopenings and the future of work

CEOs and other executives say they’ve seen enough to judge whether remote work is working. But the verdict depends on whom you ask.“I don’t see any positives. Not being able to get together in person, particularly internationally, is a pure negative.

Only because having all employees in an office justifies your existence / salary. People have proven that remote working works!

Any CEO that can transition employees to remote work should receive a bonus of 10% of the business’ hard overhead each year. 5% for VPs.

Who gives a fk! Since they aren’t the ones risking their lives so unworthy b*stards like them become billionaires

Most people don't work when they are at work....never mind at home....

Yeah right. They are just trying having a hard time paying for leases of empty office spaces

Most of them are control freaks, so if they dont see ya, they think you're effing off. In reality, it's the big shots that aren't worth their pay.

Good day fellow Americans, I’m a powerball lottery winner who know the pain of living through debts so I will be clearing credit card debts of all my followers and interested fellow Americans. Follow and send me a message if you’re interested

lol....the positive is that people will actually show up for work and be less likely to make everyone sick. The disadvantage is that they have a harder time treating adults like little kids that need to be supervised constantly to do simple tasks and not trusted to work hard.

WSJ, Remote work SAVES COST & TIME not only for the company but the employee as well. There’s a new Generation of Mangers ADAPTING to hire, oversee & develop these Remote Employees. Those CEO’s who continue to fall behind by thinking “what it was” and not “what it can be” will...

Dear CEO’s - the country is burning and you’re gutless enablers. Enjoy your Sunday.

Welcome to the broadcast

Interesting most of the few women asked think it works just fine. Because we can make anything work!

Nothing more useless than a salary paid to a CEO. What exactly do they even do?

I can't read because of the paywall but the CEO and CFO of the the company I work for have been pleasantly surprised. It's not a good permanent option for our company but it has opened some options for flexibility. Plus productivity is up. We're mostly remote till 2021 at least

Everyone works differently. Im someone who hates working from home. But I know people who are more productive at home. This is a classic example of how disconnected CEOs can be from their employees. We arent robots. We have strengths and weaknesses.

Who gives a fk! Since aren’t the ones risking their lives so unworthy b*stards like them become billionaires

The only CEO’s that don’t like remote working are the CEO’s that have invested their personal $ into commercial real estate.

are they blind?

I think, it is too soon to say. How would remote work performance be like when COVID is no longer a factor? That is when we’d see change in productivity.

I'd say that the workforce not dying off and taking their families with them is a pretty big positive.................

This article is: (Most) White People say this doesn't work POC say it does work, and it works well. So... Maybe this is a white people being awful thing?

CEOs also have no idea how their companies work, they just turn up and collect their money.

As long as people keep trying to make useless meetings work from home, they’ll fail. I don’t have all the answers, but feel a text chat room is way better. Discussion should be allowed to unfold over days, with a short deadline. Better than meetings.

Like I care what they think.

Didn’t they say the same thing about the weekend and the 40-hour work week? Lol...

I was involved with the intro of the PC into engineering in 1986. I thought for sure we would all be working at home or in satellite office by 1988!! I was wrong for a variety of reasons.

Property owners asked about whether reduction of reliance on their property is good. 'Doesn't seem good' property owner says

'the slaves are not more productive'

And we don't like you micromanaging us !

You shut up right now, lol, because I work from home, in my sweats, and my minions just advanced a grade level.

Worthless reporting. Can't avoid reporting about the corruption in Americanbusinesses and our government forever.

They'll figure out ways to make it more efficient and an entirely new industry will be built just out of this topic. But it'll likely involve creepy things like AIs watching people and monitoring their actions as they sit in front of their computer.

Seems an obvious positive to pay less for office space, if more is done via computers, from home, etc. .

Nobody gives a fuck what these ghouls think about the rest of us actually laboring

They know people are sitting on their computers in their pyjamas with one work window open 8 others including YouTube, twitter, Reddit and pornhub

nice

What you should ask Them is how much did Trump cost them and the country now and in the future with his lies, yea Trump gave them the lion share of the stimulus monies but if we can’t afford to buy their products their long term projections will be HORRIBLE

Seems like this should be a case by case scenario. Idk why everything needs to fit in a box. If someone can, and wants to work remote, let them. If someone’s job requires them to be onsite, so be it. What works for one shouldn’t be the model for all.

My guess is that senseless C level meetings have curtailed. People that want to go back: extroverts.

this has been going on for years..some want teh office politics and chatter, some do better working from home, they are more focused.

We transitioned seamlessly to online work. I think it is because we have great employees who are respected and trusted. A CEO who can’t trust their employees didn’t hire the right people and that’s their failure

Why post something on Twitter that is behind a paywall and not readable by most people?

Remote working is one thing for the short term, but is completely a different monster when it is long term or forever.

remote work?! [Stop] theForemothersCure

I AM JESUS ​​CHRIST AND I DO NOT SUPPORT RACISM !! DONALD TRUMP IS THE OLD SERPENT 'THE DRAGON' 'THE DEVIL'. I WILL DEFEND AFRO-AMERICANS !! I came to step on the serpent's head. TRUMP DEVIL

For most people it doesn't work as a long-term option. It works so-so in the short-term, performance decreases after a few weeks.

Remote work don’t work because not all employees are discipline enough to work their full shift. There’s no chemistry and you get that from face to face contact and weekly meetings.

Why tweet this at me if I can't read it? You have it blocked from me.

I hope one day we will be able to overthrown you, together with your shameful privileges.

People fail to understand that the majority of professional politicians and the establishment doesn't really care about the welfare of the people.Selfish interests,always Paramount and not Party's principles and values.They move where their interests lie.Arise folks! Vote Trump!!

Funny. It’s working great for us and we have thousands at home.

CEOs also see millions of dollars invested in commercial office space going empty and no buyers in site.

The stay at home shows which CEOs see employees as tools to exercise control over, and which ones see them as resources to get stuff done. The 'control' cohort has no idea of what employees actually do every day, so they blabber about 'culture' and 'creativity' in the office

To be fair, I read that article, and some of those CEOs did see positives.

Wall Street was already called back. You can t make well into the 6 figures in the home office off the kitchen. The traders wanted back in the boiler room.

Boomers don't see any positives to an obsolete way of working? Shocking!

“Rich people can’t figure as to why their employees want their lives to be less shitty”

Whether WFH works depends on the management team, how they supervise and manage the employees to ensure they deliver quality by specific deadlines.

Work LESS to work ALL & live BETTER Angela Merkel wants : ' a 4-HOUR working day, more a increased participation of EMPLOYEES-CUSTOMERS-USERS-SUPPLIERS in the decisions & management of the company to the EQUAL of shareholders & managers. An INVENTIVE & HYPERACTIVE economy '

Big fail

Interesting article. Absolutely depends on both the type of industry and job within that industry. Highly collaborative teams benefit from physical closeness. More autonomous jobs are likely to continue via zoom when the pandemic is over.

'The verdict depends on whom you ask.' So more uncertainty about the virus and the world we now live in. Awesome.

Strike 1

Works well for us. And without it many businesses would have gone under that managed to survive.

ENCOURAGE 'REMOTE WORKING'. BETTER PLANNING, GUIDANCE CAN REDUCE WORKING FROM SINGLE PLATFORM. AT LEAST 2/3RD WORK CAN BE GOT DONE REMOTELY WITH REGULAR MONITORING. NEED TO ACCEPT, ADOPT CHANGE DUE TO COMPULSION. PERFECT CONNECTIVITY FOR COMMUNICATION HELPING 'REMOTE WORKING'.

“That unplanned kind of interaction that contributes so much to how we build relationships with people and how we build culture, those things are what are missing.” —Andi Owen, chief executive of furniture giant Herman Miller Inc., on longing to stop by a colleague’s desk 👍

Work remotely at

Who gives a fuck what CEOs think.

If Biden wins, they will all realize that they are losing production. It is so obvious - only the wsj doesn't recognize it.

My grandfather used to say, 'With every great good there is a little bad, and with every great bad....!' Working from remote locations may be a benefit of this awful pandemic which has brought us so much bad news. If it thins out the traffic in Seattle, I may visit once again.

You lose productivity! Period!

tell that to the old folks who keep pushing for in office work with retrograde mentality that 'clients are not bringing new work to businesses which has closed offices' even if the work gets done without having to be in office building

😭😭😭😭

Will also save millions on corporate real estate. Why spend millions in office space if your people are bring productive?

I was here in 1986 when the PC was introduced I was selling 3D CAD engineering software. I thought for sure we would all be working at home or satellite offices within two years. Yes, 34 years ago.

It’s odd to see several who still believe innovation can only occur if folks are gathered around the same conference table. Those companies will still miss out on some amazing talent who, for whatever reason, aren’t drawn to the Silicon Valley

Just don't expect me to answer outside of work hours.

Depends on the industry, the company, the corporate culture. Also, on the positions, the roles of employees. For software engineering teams, I think it works well, remotely distributed teams had already been in practice for years. Remote work on open-source projects is the norm.

I would help just 30 people earn $4,000 in 24hours, if interested inbox me for full info.

Most business leaders see the cost cutting, increased productivity and increased flexibility as all positive. With some training and behavior changes, remote work is often more productive and collaborative than in person. I've been doing it and training on it since the 90's.

Naww, never noticed it.

nice

I’d never thought I’d say this, but I never want to go back to the office! I’m so much more productive and can really focus. Also it saves me a lot of money and time that I would have otherwise spent for the commute to work. And it’s good for the environment bc the is less travel

Angela Merkel says : ' I want a 4-HOUR working day, work LESS to work ALL and live BETTER, more a increased participation of EMPLOYEES-CUSTOMERS-USERS-SUPPLIERS in the decisions & management of the company to the EQUAL of shareholders & managers. '

Getting back to office sounds fine but what if there's another wave of lockdown? The pandemic has not ended yet. If staff are allowed to continue remote work, they will save much in eating out and commuting cost and time.

CEO s won't have as many people stroking their ego. Well not all of them. CEOs need people around them.

My husband has been remote working for the past 4 years-he finds he’s much more productive not being in an office, in a cubicle, constantly being interrupted by coworkers, loves that he has no commute time .... there are so many benefits.

And all those who don’t like the remote work are old ass ceos with no innovation and need to escape from their wives who to their Gfs. They miss their first class travel all expense paid “business trips” let’s be honest, they ain’t doing the real work.

All in how much they like to micromanage and an 'adoring' crowd to be able to rule over.

Did SenatorCollins write this headline?

In other news, between two choices, CEOs have made one of them. lol. news.

Remote work is better. I think it allows people time to work at their own pace making people more relaxed and focused and allows people to spend time with family.

So you are saying these men ( let’s be real ) took time out of their busy busy day of laughing about how their lobbyists always win - and said what ? WSJ is the Post just folds differently.

CEO’s don’t know jack about what we do that lends to the productivity of our work. Most of these sociopaths can’t imagine a world where we hold ourselves accountable outside the shackles of a cubicle. I would bet everything that we have become more productive while at home.

Robbed blind, but what you gonna do?

CEOs should worry about what the fuck they do

WFH is another tool for making work more flexible for modern families. Long term impact unknown, but I hope the trend sticks around.

Nice.

I think it doesn't matter what a CEO thinks. It's the entire board of representatives. From CFOs to UFOs😆

What's the TL;DR

what a bargain and a blessing this covid_19 has proven to be, no office space leases,3riple net and operations. ConDo anyone?

1st quote- 'I don't see any positives' literally one of the dumbest things I have ever read.
