Me: Yup. I haven't bought anything in pos-POS in over 2 years (even when I'm there).
depends on where the ppl making the decisions live- if they working POS and living in the west they only 20 mins away- they eh know the daily struggle of ppl who also work POS but live east beyond where it still have traffic lights on the highway, or down south.
btw, those macoya and uwi lights- why is it that 3 out of 4 times u getting a red light while on the CRH? doesn't the highway have priority? is this rocket science? it takes me 30-40 mins just to get from trincity lights to past uwi lights on a morning. and i leave home like 8 or after.
Macoya, Pasea and UWI lights have to facilitate a sheit load of west to north traffic for the multitude of schools in the El Dorado/Tunapuna/St Augustine region. Count it - theres over 30 something primary and secondary schools and UWI within those three lights.

Do you have the type of background that would better lend itself to work-from-home so that it would be easier for you to appreciate the response?

honestly... get off tuner and go do the ppl wuk. time to downsize public service cause of WOFT people like you
You're talking theory here. In practice most people were just as productive while WFH as they were in the office. There were a few people that you knew was not working like normal, but the role of their manager is to address issues like these when they come up. The only additional systems that we needed was network access via remote desktop software. People adjusted their work flows and everything was getting done.... profits were up.adnj wrote:It depends solely on productivity.redmanjp wrote:FrankChag wrote:One of my friends: Some people spent TWO YEARS proving they can work from home more efficiently and productively than in the office.

If the company must close down completely due to unavoidable circumstances, then work from home may be a better solution.
If a position requires customer or coworker interface, or requires close supervision of work product, productivity will typically decline when away from a facility. Work from home creates added management overhead to define, delegate and collect work product from the remote workers. You also lose the productivity gains that are associated with colocation of working teams.
The worldwide standard for acceptable commute time is 30 to 35 minutes. If a person's commute is longer than acceptable, that is the responsibility of the worker to change jobs or homes.

Then just like that, all remote work ended. Senior people in HR argued that hybrid work was the way of the future as it allowed workers to get an ease from suffering in traffic everyday and led to less burnout etc. CEO didn't want to hear that and fired the biggest champion for hybrid work. People who requested to work hybrid were told either be on premises or be fired. Mind you these executives all live within 20 minutes of the office as Dizzy alluded to..... they even go home for lunch most days. They don't know what it's like to face 1-2 hours of traffic 10 times a week.
It's like plantation days, I need to see you toiling in the field else I not sure u working. Plenty employers did this same nonsense in the US earlier this year too, and it sparked the great resignation as workers pushed back. Sadly Trinidad is a small society so no such options here.

In all career fields, the average worker is productive for 60% or less each day. For office workers, however, that percentage drops drastically. Research conducted by Voucher Cloud determined that the average office worker is only productive for two hours and 23 minutes each day.

The sad thing is with all the interchange and improvement to infrastructure such as widening of the roadways, it makes no sense. Those things just delay the bottleneck. We need a rapid rail. That is where billions of dollars could go.death365 wrote:ah feel like people on this thread now start woking in town and complaining like never see .. come see.

Anywhere there is a collection of schools is bad.
I see a school friend write about his time in traffic in St Joseph all of last week. His kid goes St Xaviers. We talking about 1 hr+ to get back out of there.
St Augustine is pretty bad and Tunapuna/El Dorado is pretty bad during school hours as well. And the back roads are no longer reasonable as a lot of traffic has moved into them.

FACTS: Arsewari needs his rentals to be filled that's not gonna stop unless the IMF comes in play.
DOMA will not allow decentralization of ministries. When businessmen speak , politicians listen.
Most vehicles heading into POS only have one occupant during rush hour periods.
They built these highways with no foresight or vision the engineers before did not expect the boom that occurred where we have cars selling like hot bread.
