      We need new system redesign or nothing changes which creates those new jobs. You have to change our economic system, which is our value system. We need a justice system designed to result true justice which is a win/win replacing today’s pay to play win/lose. We need a new medical system focused on good health not profit focused . Once we agree on new system design when need to get to work building it. If we are making a change nothing really changes if all systems remain the same- just repeating the same patterns

    I am an accountant, an introvert and a disciplined, self-motivated person. WFH not only works for people like me, but it is far superior to the stress and distractions of sitting in an office. Sorry but you guys are wrong that “WFH doesn’t work.” Yes, it does. In my field, the remote opportunities are plentiful and growing. And thanks to Dave’s program, I have no debt and no payments and that gives me the freedom to decide never to work in an office again.

    It took years to replace my former salary.
    Actually, I never did fully replace it.
    I just paid down all my debt with the “extra” money my business was producing, until I could live on less.
    My husband and I now work together. From home.
    It is the best time in our life together.

    Sorry Dave, the only people who don't like WFH are old school bosses who don't trust their people, and the companies that don't allow it, are the ones that will miss out on talent, regardless of how chummy their culture is. Family trumps work, regardless of culture, and good companies maintain culture with a hybrid workforce. WFH has been a boon for recruiting for smart companies. Let's Occam's Razor this. Workers experienced flexibility for the first time in their careers and liked it, and due to stimulus and not spending any money for a year, have enough financial cushion to break free from the dead end jobs they were tied to, or jobs that want to take away the flexibility they've enjoyed over the past year.

      @PoopCoin Patrick why don’t people that talk about automation ever bring up globalization? Seems like an intentional mental block they’ve been programmed with. Jobs were sent overseas way before they were automated. Also robots taking over everything is way overblown, globalization is a bigger threat. At least someone has to build and maintain the robots.

    I love how he threw the "Working from home" thing doesn't work, as I listen to this while working from home. I do not understand the need for "butts in the seat." I lead a team, and guess what you can use to measure productivity? Results lol. People don't want to spend their whole life driving to and from an office, just to appease some old-school CEOs. That's why people want to quit.

    The pandemic woke me up to: “I could die tomorrow” since I actually knew people who died or YOUNG people in my family who went to the hospital and were on ventilators. I’ve always done what I loved, Thank God. Now I’m retired. It wasn’t easy, but as Joseph Campbell basically always said, you have to take your passion and find a way to make it work for you so you can exist in our world. You need to be the hero of the journey you take.

    Love WFH. Why should I commute to an office to sit on video conference with people all over the country? Culture beyond the basics of a non-toxic environment is a bunch of BS geared towards extroverts. My life is outside work - I want to get in and out as quickly as possible.

    Trust me. People who work from home LOVE working from home. If given the opportunity, why would anyone want to go back to the stress and anxiety associated with commuting? And the company I work for has admitted it saves a ton of money not having all those bodies running around the office. Smart company.

      I hated working from home mostly because other than work, I hardly ever leave it. But I really enjoy the faster commute because there are way less cars on the road and no congestion and less crazies! I hope working from home gets even more popular and becomes a real thing so I can havee the road to myself.

      I don’t know why you’re blaming the boomers most boomer bosses are retired by now but if there’s any left maybe you should try learning something from them instead of degrading somebody because of their age I’ll learn from anybody no matter what age they are but I would agree that working from home is where it’s at from now on if your job permits that way you don’t have to deal with the drama or the office politics your statement about the boomers will be the Equivalent of me saying people with black hair are bullies there’s no statistical fact in that statement it’s just Emotional and feeling I know several boomers that I work with and for and they have great insight to pass on if you’re willing to learn but it just sounds like you’re ignorant oh well your loss
