Not to mention any other "Non-Traditional" lines of work. I think back on that and it occurs to me that if I was still on the road when the Pandemic hit, the band would have fallen apart. Of course, now days all you need to get rich is a good Camera, even a cell phone camera will do, some popular topic that you can make videos about and a YouTube monetized channel. And the more "Watch-Hours", Likes and Subscriptions you get, the more money you make.

But there wasn't anything like that back when we were on the road. If there was, we might have been able to get rich posting live shows, and or making CD's on a computer that are just as good as those done in a professional recording studio. You can do all that now with free software. YouTube may be annoying at times with all the fake news and information that's on there, but you can make a ton of money with it.

I was talking to one of our maintenance guys the other day and I said I could put my camera on my tripod, and go outside and sit next to the railroad tracks and film trains as they go by. Post the videos on YouTube, and I could pad my retirement account big time.

Here's a good example:


And here's the results of the YouTube Monetization Checker for that channel.

The tracks those trains travel on are less than 200 yards from our house. That guy probably lives somewhere near me. He may be an Edison resident, or he could be from any of the other small towns near me or in Bakersfield. I have actually considered doing that as I have all the necessary camera gear, a reliable car and the actual Tehachapi Loop is just 24 miles east of me...

I found a channel on Youtube that sometimes highlights bad job ads. Boy, what kind of world is it?!?

I have outlined my own experience in this thread, but it's clear listening to these crazy ads, that my world isn't today's world - you know mutual respect, a focus on quality and skills, etc. I'm not suggesting all ads are this way, but just to know this type of thing is going on is just disgusting.

On the other hand, the average starting salary for a software engineer in the United States is over $100k/year. So it all depends on your skills.

That's is egregious! Even during my brief stint in middle management, which I hated, I advocated for my workers. I don't like it when employees are screwed over like that!

Yeah.

I got written up as a manager once because I was posting the union meeting notices for my employees. I still suspect that an anti-union employee turned me in for my "infractions" but there was no way to know or anything I could do about it.

Obviously - was anyone thinking otherwise ??

Not just blue collar jobs - obviously many jobs cannot be done from home.

was anyone saying they all could be??

I am very impressed by your memory of an exact phone conversation several years ago - but again, not sure what it proves.

Obviously many things were done from home during the pandemic lockdowns that are better done in a non home setting - that was a time of doing the best we could in lockdowns - I dont think anyone is suggesting everything that was done from home or by phone should stay that way.

But that doesn't mean there isn't a place for many jobs to be done at least partly from home - and of course modern technology has made more of this possible.

Not really sure what cherry picking articles from way back in 2004 proves - you dont think technology had change much in the last 20 years??

Obviously I have no idea what anyone else was thinking @January. Of course I know technology has indeed changed, because I understand and study the technology in order to pick stocks in which I am interested in buying.

You must think I live under some rock. 🤣

The reason I remember the call, in such detail, is it was so bizarre. I am a woman who raised four children and out of simple empathy it struck me how difficult the other woman's situation was?

It is insulting for you to infer I "cherry picked" those articles, if you are using that term to mean I wanted pick and chose articles to skew information to make me appear to be more learned on the subject than I am on this subject? The reason I looked up research articles on the subject is I saw a variety of good opinions and thoughts I respect. Those inputs here made me want to really delve into the matter.
Couldn't that be plausible to you?

If you simply read each title abstract as I did, you would see I posted random result studies. I simply did the work of gathering and weeding out older articles, looking for dependable research for me to understand more about this subject. I may need the information in the future for whatever reason, but I have supervised and managed a lot of people but NONE working from home, and I want to know what the best and worst things are from that perspective.

I didn't care for the age of the 2004 article, either, but the content was worth the age outlier. Why you chose to point that one out, I have not a clue, hopefully not for nefarious reasons. You know thoug: I did find my self surprised just how far back studies and theories of WFM on computers are dated!

Likewise, I took out many articles that were too closely associated with the pandemic - lockdown, stay home and work scenario. The pandemic was also an outlier, other than age of material, and I didn't want to skew reviews either way.

Why especially for women?

Because women usually manage the home and kiddos and kiddos change on a daily basis?

It may be in your circles. There are plenty of SAHDs out there, plenty women being the breadwinner and a lot of couples actually sharing chores and responsibilities.

"Plenty": 10% SAHDs 🤣 Yes and the woman IS the breadwinner many time PLUS she manages the house and kids on top of it. A man seldom does that well.

Do I think you live under a rock??? - I'm not posting what I think about you - personal comments just derail a thread

I think the statement that Blue collar jobs cannot be done from home - was so obvious that I wonder why anyone would say that , did they really think anyone else didnt realise that??
- and yes I think there was cherry picking of articles
Confirmation bias

Since you asked - No It isnt really plausible to me that anyone remembers an exact long conversation, however bizarre, from years ago.

I agree - plenty of couples who both work and share chores and child care (perhaps not always evenly but shared nevertheless) and Dads who are looking after children

So both parents manage the home and the children.

There is such a thing as integrity still out here. No good deed goes unpunished, and you've proven that.

^^ You will have to explain what you mean by this post - not following whatever point you are making about the topic . 🤷‍♀️

You suggested I was cherry picking yet again when in fact, I'd explained earlier I wasn't. You also suggested I was lying about remembering a conversation. You thinly veil insults. In addition, you do those two things, when I in fact took a great deal of time and effort to present both sides of the WFH issue by researching not the internet, but professional journals, @January. So you punish my good deed with insults, suggesting two things that simply are not true. I went to the effort not for me but for others who seem very into this subject, just in case they wanted to look into it more - depending on their own preference - office or WFH.

By continuing with your assumptions, you have questioned my integrity in a thinly veiled way.

You know, you really do come across as a piece of work and stuck in school yard mentality.
Ever since I began SF several months ago, you haven't liked the majority of my posts and some of my points of my view, for whatever reason.
You seem to be part of a clique of people who have been on SF longer than some of us, and use it to advantage to disparage others such as myself. I think some joy must be found in you working to hurt others.

But to work on trying to hurt people, that is called mean hearted. I do feel sorry for mean hearted and spiteful people. I don't understand them as intentionally causing grief is not part of my world. I hope you get better so life will be happier for you and the world a better place.
 
CooCoo, dear, you spent your whole first time on this site insulting me. You have never made amends, or even tried. You forgot so soon?

I have no clue what you call "insults" to you. I don't even know you and am not in the habit of insulting.

Please do show me the "insult" you suffered at my hand.

I have asked this before..but gotten zero response or a quote or even a context of a quote. Perhaps I wasn't given a chance to even explain my intent on a post...and it was simply miscommunication?

I think you exaggerate with the "you spent your whole first time on this site insulting me...".
Why the heck would ANYone do such a thing, let alone me!

Why? The Covid pandemic lock-down demonstrated that many office jobs can be done at home, thereby reducing building operating costs, urban traffic congestion, pollution etc.

JP Morgan could sell off or lease out their office buildings, maybe convert them to penthouse suites for the burgeoning billionaire population.
