But work isnt just about your comfort. Its about achieving the best work outcome with your team. Limiting yourself to colloborating with people you socialise well with is not only counter productive but can be plainly unjust to your follow workers and consumer base. Such attitudes have justified...

employers aim to lower wages as much as they can. but its the combination of demand and supply for workers that determines wages. Not just demand. Workers will gravitate to the jobs that offer higher work life benefits, all else equal. This change in supply by workers will ultimately influence...

The tea room chats arent the valuable ones though. Thats where you develop friendships and form workplace alliances and gossip. All the bad stuff for doing your actual job. Teams chats are far more productive for work.

supply and demand for wfh jobs will result in them being paid less, all else equal, then jobs that require you to be onsite. But its the workers that will drive this outcome and should not be the bosses trying to manufacture it.

Is it really that hard or do you just not know how to use teams and reach out to people? I find no difference except if you are busy and dont want to be bothered by slacker workers who jist want to chit chat its much easier to avoid them working from home.

Cos they are competing with industries that offer it. If two jobs offer similar pay im taking the one woth more flexible working hours so i can pick up my kids from school. In fact i will work for noticably less to maintain the flexible hours.

The weight of literature suggests traits are 50 percent genetic and 50 percent environmental. Basically its a draw.

And your point? This is a probablity discussion. Not a 100 percent certainty one.

Not over the shop at all. We are talking probabilties here not givens. Wealthy people on average are more intelligent. Not because wealth drives intelligence but because intelligent people tend to find wealth more than unintelligent. This is all very basic theory. Its not supposed to be a head...

Everyones genes are different. Two basketballers have kids and their kids will be tall. Two smart parents have kids and their kids will be smarter. Its basic sex selection theory. Plenty of dumb rich people but on average rich people tend to have higher gentically derived IQ as all the doctors...

Private schools are either money scams or immoral. Capitalism only works and is just if we have equal opportunity in education so if private schools do provide advantages over public they are immoral. If they dont they are scams. Im sending my kids to public school.

A week ago i gave an hour presentation to about 30 people over the phone including some pretty senior people in the company and i was wearing nothing but socks and underpants. You dont get those wins working in the office.

And there are people who take long lunches and others who sit their slacking off? Where do you work.

You really havent been in an office since the whitlam era have you?

Everyone is supposed to work efficiently though. Thats a requirement of your job.

What industry do you work in? I find office time adds to stress not removes it. Have to attend more pointless meetings and people are always asking you to help them out taking away from your time. On top of that when working from home you have an extra 1-2 hours a day to work/relax cos you dont...

So in your view cool people are slackers who free ride off the work of others? Pretty sure most offices got rid of these people in the eighties. How long has it been since you worked in an office?

The no pants rule is awesome. But the best part is getting to sleep in whilst your partner has to get up at 6am, rush to get ready and leave by 7 to enter an hour of traffic. Best part of the day.

There are now muffin delivery services. Plus you think there are cool office people but in reality they dont exist. Office people are just people who want to distract you away from your core work with other even more boring side work that you get no credit for.

Soul destroying? You are being irrational. Stop being irrational. Working at home rocks.

Actually it seems like private secondary schools might have slightly larger class sizes then public secondary schools. In any case its definately not 30. 30 would only be an extreme outlier. "Secondary schools had average class sizes (23 students), while public high schools had slightly smaller...

Im referring to the positive correlation only and its probably a fairly weak correlation but it is there. Ive been to both dodgy public high schools and rich private schools. In both cases class sizes were the same. Which schools have class sizes of 30 plus? Agree on the issues for dealing...

Private schools do better cos they get the best kids. Richer families kids tend to have better genes and have more time to study as they dont have to work part time jobs during high school. And on top of this private schools raid public schools and put the smartest public school kids on partial...

people get that wages are determined by supply and demand and not how skilled a job is right? key to a high wage for a given skill level is to pick a job that has a social stigma to it or nobody has heard of or is in the middle of nowhere with crap hours.
