1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Job mission with Jonesy and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 2: Let's get on down to the Jonesy demand unds for

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 2: the pub test this morning, where the opinions flow as

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: freely as the PF Today. Today we're talking about working

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: from home. It's been six months since many of us

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: have been working from home. Interesting that some businesses have

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: reported fallen activity. Some have said activity has improved digital

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: key digital technologies during COVID nineteen. Bug shall start that

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: sentence again. Australian companies have on average increased their adoption

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 2: of key digital technologies during COVID nineteen as much as

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: they have for the previous ten years. So companies have

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: been forced to take on new technologies that are allowing

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: people this flexible work time and it shows it can

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: be done. So some people are saying, great, I don't

15
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: have to spend time in the traffic. I can work

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: from home. I can do my job to fly to

17
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: another city for a minute. I can do all that.

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: Others are saying, you know, I find I'm working longer

19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: hours working from home. You're expected to always be on call,

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: because is it the feeling that I'm bludging if I

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: don't answer an email at eight o'clock at night, that

22
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: feeling that you're kind of just at home, so you'll

23
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: answer it anyway. There's no distinct cut off to your day.

24
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: I've heard others say that they actually miss the morning commute.

25
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: That some working mothers are saying that's the only quiet

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: moment in their entire day. Yeah, for a quiet headspace.

27
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 2: You would have thought on Sydney traffic. Sydney traffic, but

28
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: that's your only time you have to yourself try. I

29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: got a great deal of pleasure just riding my bike

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: from home to work because it's so therapeutic just riding along.

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 3: You're just in your own head.

32
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like working in an office because there's a

33
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: shared energy. Yeah, there's a sense of purpose. You get up,

34
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: you do it. But for others, working from home suits

35
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: them enormously, so interesting six months down the track, working

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: from home? Does it pass the pub test?

37
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: I do both. I work from home and go to

38
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: work working from home. It isn't all that it's cracked

39
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: up to be here to do extra hours. I do

40
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: like going into lurk as I'm a people person, but

41
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: then you have the challenges of traffic in the traffic

42
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: driving to the office first time in six months and

43
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: I can say I don't miss this traffic, but I

44
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: love working from home. We've been so productive and yeah,

45
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: absolutely pastes the pub fit. Absolutely it does.

46
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: I think it's really good that we need to be

47
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: understanding of everyone's situation and I think this benefits the

48
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 3: business and the employees. Absolutely. I'm saving two and a

49
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: half hours a day traveling so much more productive and

50
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 3: no interruptions, and with your job that I do, if

51
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: it's a really stressful call, I can at least yell

52
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: at the wall or at the dog, poor dog, poor dog.

53
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 3: You made your dog the CEO for a.

54
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: How many sectors

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: With join Z and Amanda
