Maybe i’m so old-fashioned and modern at the same time. Old-fashioned because I believe that the path to success is through hard work. Modern because I embrace the new technology.
Still, I’m about to ban the home office. It is true that many people believe that home offices become secret offices over time, with lower productivity than we have in the office community. This may be true in some cases, while others work better at home.
The secret of success it remains a managed job, regardless of whether the work is done at home or in an office community.
There are completely different concerns that make me dread entering the home office into work life. We lose something important when we sit at each of our kitchen tables and coordinate the workday.
It’s not just social like coffee breaks, small talk and the exchange of ideas that disappear. Of course, we can compensate a lot with the use of modern aids and cameras that make the distance almost disappear.
However, the screen is an obstacle that erases important sensory impressions.
Then you have fixed yourself at home. You can work efficiently and smoothly, without interference from your colleagues. You have the boss at a reasonable distance and it is tempting to ask: What am I going to do with the boss? What am I really using it for? This then goes brilliantly alone.
Someone may even be tempted to try to work completely independently to achieve greater freedom. Maybe even more pay?
But what if the boss asks the same question?, when all the employees are still sitting in their own kitchen and we no longer speak.
The collective feeling that we work together, shoulder to shoulder, gradually disappears along with the human ties, not only between colleagues, but also between managers and employees alike.
Once we’ve gotten used to working for each otherIn each of our kitchens, distance means nothing. You can sit in the cabin, in the mountains, or in the boat on the lake and still be attached to the office. Fantastic opportunities appear immediately.
But the opportunities have something more inherent to them, namely cost cuts.
When you ask the question What am I really going to do with the boss? Then he asks himself, what is he going to do with you? When office communities die and are replaced by Skype, Teams, and Zoom in home offices, in the next round you can take the plunge completely.
So the employer can replace the workforce with people who sit even further away, not noticing the difference. The only difference is that these new hires work for a fraction of the price when closeness and social interaction don’t matter.
When the home office is hailed as a blessing, We forget that expensive Norwegian labor can be replaced by cheap foreign labor in many areas. Initially in industries where English is used as the working language.
In the next round, we can experience that these new employees can learn Norwegian as fast as we can learn new languages.
We can hardly stop development, and it is not desirable either. But we must know the future if we want to be prepared.
Norwegian workplace marking it will hardly be stopped, and those who work just as well today without being physically present at their workplace risk being replaced by a much cheaper employee.
