Editor's Notes
- No offices, no fixed location Some basic rules regarding overlapping working hours.
- Young or family with kids or older people No offices, no fixed location Some basic rules regarding overlapping working hours.
- Istanbul In the Top 10 of the world's most congested cities (1h37 min/day in average) Infrastructure development cannot catch up with population growth
- Increase in lung cancer Smog = Smoke + Fog = Fog of pollution = bad bad bad
- Loss of privacy More stress and higher blood pressure Difficulty to focus
- Sony office closed for two days during heavy snow fall Remote stand-up, communication via Slack, remote pair programming etc… No electricity, no ADSL, no problem
- Great introduction to remote work for sceptics or newbies
- Workers go to the factory because that is where the machines are Miners go to the coal mine because that is where the coal and the machines are Modern office workers go to the office with their laptop because…?
- Being at home can feel lonely, being in the office with other people is more fun. Chatting with co-workers on Slack may not be sufficient for daily social interaction needs Humans are gregarious, they like to be in groups
- Trust is the key issue: most of remote problems are in fact trust problems Contrary to popular belief/prejudice: remote employees suffer from burn-out from working too much Hire with remote in mind: Some people are better at self organizing and disciplining than others
- Easier to stick to what is known, creature of habit (coffee at 8, second coffee at 9…) We will defend our way of life even if there is something better out there Try to lose weight or stop a bad habit
- Nokia produced great phones, but nobody wants them anymore Working remotely is on the rise and is becoming an expectation rather than a perk When your competitor starts snatching all your best employees because they are more flexible, it’s already too late
- One day a week to get used to working remotely Communicate with Slack or work in silence without interruptions
- Local jobs and economy suffer from the mass migration to Istanbul Vocations and investments in home town/city are lost because of the lack of flexibility
- Gain back two hours out of transportation, wake up in the office Better health, no breathing polluted air Increase productivity: less noise, less distraction, more productive work
