I really like what you say about the legalities of living/traveling abroad and working remotely. If this had been possible, I wouldn't have retired early. I would love to go back to work, but I value my nomad life more.
I work full time remote and I agree that the return to the office is stupid. Even in countries where there's not that issue with state taxes and incentives is still being done. I just don't agree on the international part. The issue is not because of legacy, it is to cater to each country's interest and that's why is such a complex issue with taxes and laws involved. Economies can be heavily affected if everybody could go work from anywhere and don't pay taxes in the place they are at. Working while traveling is not illegal for the most part, as long as you don't get to the point of changing tax residences, a lot of countries use the 3 or 6 months benchmark to determine where your tax residence should be. Yes there's a bunch of smart people out there but you see how hard is to make people agree on things while seeing the United nations meetings, European parliament meetings and even the national parliament meetings on each country. So yeah it is not that simple, dealing with taxes, laws, residence and time zones is a hassle and cost a lot of money so it is understandable that most companies won't deal with that so you might find that it might not be worth setting up a company with worldwide working policies unless you have a massive global organization
Thanks for the feedback! Totally agree about how countries just can't seem to get on the same page. Feels like we need some stronger trigger to kick things off the ground, kinda like how countries once managed to agree on a standard passport format. Maybe the nomad visa is a first weak step in that direction
@@victoria.endless the digital nomad visa is only one variable on the equation, it only really solves how to stay somewhere legally for a period of time. Taxes are the problem, all countries want a piece of your income cake and there's little to no incentive for countries to let people get away with their tax money and go somewhere else. In the US is even worse because of the fact that states have different tax rules. So countries create nomad visas in order to attract people and their money but there's no incentive for the home countries to allow people to go away. Same as there's no incentive for countries to allow companies to hire remote workers from abroad when they need to make sure that their local population is employed and paying taxes
I got hired as remote but my company also insisted on going back to office. Personally I have anxiety and probably some kind of undiagnosed sensorial sensitivity. 😅 But how to tell this to the company without backfiring on me somehow... going to office is very bad for my social anxiety and all the office lights and noise from all my co-workers gives me constant sensorial overwhelm.
I totally get what you're saying! I believe that having an open chat with your boss is always the best move, no matter the outcome. Sometimes, leaders are willing to meet you halfway if you can convince them it's for the good of the business. Good luck! If you decide to go for it, hit me up with how it all went :)
Your english is comprehensible but takes more effort to concentrate and understand. The editing makes the screen spin and move too much where it is just over the top for me personally. Despite this your content is very interesting and overlaps with my own. Good luck with everything and I foresee your channel growing considerably.
I'm head of technology at a tech company and I've gotta say that there really are tangible benefits to have people in the office, and it really is the 'cliched' water cooler convos. Our most recent patent was created between three of us from a completely unrelated convo we were having at our desks. This never would've happened had we all been working from home. I think the realty is the ideal situation is a combination of the two. Individual work definitely tends to be more productive without the interruptions of a an office but the number of new idea's being generated definitely declines when more than 2 days a week are spent outside of the office.
Congrats on the patent! I think it's awesome when employees get to choose whether to come into the office or not. And if they do come in, they really get why it matters and see the real value in it, instead of it being this all-or-nothing kind of deal, like you're either in the office or you're out of a job
I did not quite parse what do you think is the answer to why companies want to move people back to the office. Yes, the "cheap layoff" strategy is one thing, but it does sound like something not all companies are interested in.
This issue's really tricky, and the explanations I've got are just some of the possibilities. I was hoping to pin it down to something logical (like layoffs or tax breaks). But there are tons of emotional triggers too. This includes the mindset of some bosses who think they can't manage their team unless they're physically watching every move, even though folks in the office are actually more likely to procrastinate than those at home. And then there's the issue of empty offices freaking out the upper management. Plus, companies are often rigid and hesitant to make big changes - it's human nature after all. Both people and companies find it hard to undergo such massive shifts
It is obvious that you have put a lot of effort into this video. But you will have a low viewer retention due to two main factors: a) the longish length of the video; and b) your accent, as your target audience is mostly native English speakers. So at least in the initial stages of your CZcams career, try to keep the videos, let's say, around 9 minutes long. This will happen when you can provide the summary and the overview of the topic more succinctly. You will also need to work a bit on your accent as well. Finally, being an Indian, I have heard all sorts of English accents, but your accent seems unique to me. So, are you a native of Germany, Greece, Russia, or somewhere else? BTW, keep it up! You certainly have the potential to become a successful CZcamsr.
