A flexible schedule is having work without a fixed time of attending, those who don't require you to go with this exact time. Having a flexible work schedule is such a good thing for you, it only means that you can manage your time. It is like something you need to do first the priority then do it is up to you what will you do to your other time. A lot of people are looking for a flexible working schedule as it makes them have free time for doing other things. For example your friends are planning to have an outing on Sunday but that is supposed to be your work time but then you have a flexible working schedule so you can do your work for some other day, that is what we called a flexible working schedule but it doesn't mean that it lessens the time of your work.

The very important of a digitalize world is to fasten and stabilize the hard work that should have been done, most of these period, more companies are developing a system where staff and other usual workers are prepared to be doing some flexible work at home in maintaining the company annual goals. In other for you op to flexibilities your internship from home, it'd be important to know exactly the type of work which ymwoild be reliable for you to do, "oh that's seem to me that I'm testing your intelligence"

Working with flexible time is one of the best things that someone can ever meet as they work whether it's work from home or work on site. But mostly, this is being applied on a work from home setup.
Like I said earlier, in the mean time, most companies in the world would implement several rules regarding flexible work from home and I believe it gonna creates more team work within workers.
Was away for a few days and didn't keep track of the topic. I'm also a strong supporter of world digitalization, it saves money not having to go somewhere to get tasks done. Everything from taxes, personal banking, requesting documentation and so on can now (or is at least in development) be requested online. I pay for insurance, my credit card, utility and phone bills online, while any tax documents I may need can be requested and downloaded in no time.
being a big advantage to currently use digital technology, it all helps make our lives easier. especially in an era like this, the time seems not enough to carry out our daily activities. but keep in mind we must use it wisely, must be able to sort out the needs and desires, so that we can use them properly
World digitalization isn't a panacea though, the elderly and a percentage of people who are illiterate (and have no knowledge of internet usage) will be unable to perform in such a system. For instance, a few years ago, banks shut down smaller branches in an effort to cut down costs and encourage the usage of e-banking. As a result, older generations would face issues handling basic requests.

Flexible hours at work is a really good thing as it allows workers the chance to be able to do whatever they want to do at anytime, and work whenever they want to work. I also have a job that I’m working from home and it’s really much better than having to work in an office as I don’t have to be keeping time and running all the way through the traffic to get to work place every working days, as long as I am working from home I can wake up and do whatever other things that I want to do and later I can decide to focus on my job and still deliver before the end of the day.

Though one thing I think about flexible working hours, which is kind of a disadvantage, is that you’re going to be having distractions, because it’s not like the normal office jobs where you will be in the office and focus.

I've been assigned with a project for an academic course to express my opinion about flexible work schedules. Before I get started on my assignment, I'd like to start a discussion and read others' opinions too.

Flexible work can have a variety of forms, it could be either working flexible working hours, working from home, work by objectives, compressed days (The option to work more hours per day, that way your work week is compressed to fewer days). There are probably more to add to the list.

From my point of view, in some cases it can be quite beneficial, especially working from home can save you both time and money. You won't have to commute, nor pay fuel or tickets if you're using the public transportation. If you combine that with flexible working hours and/or with work by objective, you'll have the ability to work from anywhere, anytime you want!

In my case, I currently have an internship in which I'm working from home, using the technique of objectives. I'll have several assignments  that I'd have to complete throughout the week, and let me tell you, it's one of the best options I could have ever made.

What are your thoughts on this subject? It would be great if we could have some of your personal views here, it would be of great assistance for my course's assignment.
I thought of similar advantages when the pandemic actually started. Work from home seemed like a great thing but I think it's not about the cost saving. At the end of the day you will use the resources at your place which will be equal to what you spent at office also at the same time the lines between work and home are now gone off. People often end up overworking thinking that they are free only. This would actually hamper our personal lives and most importantly the physical touch and relationships between colleagues have been finished. They are pretty important for good teamwork so ideally I don't think it's really a great thing. I have read a few other answers and I think most of the people are having similar problems like me.
Work from home is very effective as you can manage other things especially me who's a trader, you can monitor the current trend of each asset by using the dual monitor. But not all of the things that benefit you has a great advantage for the company. Of course, it's important to have a physical closure with your team or co-workers because you'll also learn from their experiences about the work especially if you've applied for an entry-level job or starter job. You would also miss the free coffee at the business where you work.

In my entire life, I have never worked in a real office job since graduation. Before I graduated in college, I already had a couple of online gigs where each of them paid me $50/month part time. This tells me that I should be doing more online work rather than the traditional office job (in which my parents didn’t like my direction back then). Although that my career is mostly working at home (until now, this time with crypto companies), I did have a job back then that gives me flexible 8-hour work and earned around $600/month as a customer relations manager (sometimes 16 hours due to the absence and tardiness of others who should take over my place in a specific hour shift).

I didn’t last long there due to stress, so I moved on to other gigs until I finally pursued into crypto and the rest is history. I would rather choose to have a free schedule where I can work anytime instead of flexible working hours daily.
I wish you good luck, don't worry about your parents, they can't interpret what they cannot understand. Likewise, I've had the same issue when I was younger and was dealing with crypto, some online gigs and mining. They've stopped now that they've learned about Bitcoin and how much it's worth. From what you've said, you're a freelancer, the negative on this is that you may not always have steady work flowing. Other than that, you are a boss of yourself, which is excellent.

The last part of your statement is where the weight is. Being your own boss gives you privileges to aim for more.

There are people who will choose to work in this kind of settings knowing that they always have time for themselves, you don't need to stress yourself seeing your boss at a regular office base employee but more on achieving your online targets and have a  lots of time for yourself.

Quote
At the start of the pandemic it was pretty nice to be able to work from home and felt like quite a privilege. Personally I started to find it really hard to keep concentration, after a couple months the novelty started to wear off and it became quite unproductive. However I think it is definitely dependent upon the person or even their state of mind at the time - like some people are extroverts while others are introverts. It might work for some people and it might be hell for others. I quite like being able to go back into the office now and the social side is very beneficial, maybe even therapeutic to get out of the house.

Indeed, there are still people who are looking forward to continue working inside their office, people who are not ready or not willing to adjust,

we can't generalized since there are different position in this kind of settings.

Most of us prefer independent working environ ment and they perform well then are independent and they select the field where they become own boss no working schedule restrictions and currently cryptoworld become choice of every one who want to live their life independently.
Crypto offer opportunities like trading,holding,investing and offering services to crypto projects to earn as you want,But its all about possible when you are expert in your field so basic education is necessary.

Flexible working schedule is a bit tricky. It has its pros and cons in working industry. Flexible working schedule isn't suitable for everyone. Not every work can be adjusted to have a flexible working schedule like those industries such as manufacturing, tourism, and the likes. The industries that most benefit from this are the e-commerce side, freelancers, and the office-based works.

With flexible working schedule, majority almost always assume that the workers have more free time since they're at home and can do their task on their own preferred time. However, it isn't always the case. As a matter of fact, the contrary often happens. The workers can't distinguish what is the exact time allotted for work, since it is said to be flexible. Some can't figure out where to draw the boundary line, hence, their work eats up a larger portion of their personal time.

One best example would be the instructors, now that we have a blended learning program to bridge the gap from being quarantined while learning. Here in our country, these instructors are exerting much effort for the students' welfare. Some are extending their working hours until past midnight just to finish the modules and other learning materials.

It may be an advantage to some, but is also a nightmare for some. I think it really depends on what field and situation you belong to.

What are your thoughts on this subject? It would be great if we could have some of your personal views here, it would be of great assistance for my course's assignment.

I think that jobs should not require a schedule first, what should be set is undoubtedly the fulfillment of goals and that people set their hours or way of working, what matters is that they meet the goals.

If people work every day fulfilling a schedule for a salary, it is not bad, but their work lengthens or shortens, but what can a person do when they finish their work in 1 day and have to go the other 30 days to what ? For me it does not make sense unless I work in the Plant and I am aware of a production level where I have to be supervising every hour, in general, it is an engineering job, or perhaps the work that a Doctor does in a Hospital or clinic.

Now there are more restrictions, due to the pandemic it is best to work from home, the logic always says, "If you work more, you must earn more" but it does not make sense, of course it is my way of thinking.

Flexible work is indeed a good thing to have, because you'll not be stress because of due date or whatsoever while a lot of paperwork piled up in your desk. However, sometimes it has a kickback, like you're getting confident that you don't to do it soon since you have all day to do it, which makes you lazy and becomes your habit, and not a professional thing to do in my opinion.

Work from home right now in this time of pandemic is kind a thing since we can't go all outside to do our jobs, and sometimes work from home is much boring and depressing since you don't have anyone to talk to or to ask help of you don't know what you're doing anymore.

Working from home killed productivity tbh.

I get that it's great working from home and not having to commute, but if I owned any office related business, in what way can you verify that work is actually getting done without literally having to babysit employees and monitor their every move? I know companies will install tracking software on business computers, and I would hate to be using something like that at home.
The way we work is going to have to be reimagined if we want this model to work out, however I think that is relatively easy instead of the current jobs in which your functions are kind of nebulous we're going to have very specific responsibilities for each person and if something is not being done in time then you are going to know who is exactly failing, you don't really need tracking software for that, but if that were the case as long as you only have that software in a computer that is given to you by the company then I will not care because I will use the computer given to me only for work and I will use my own computer for my own entertainment.
I think that both working models may face issues with productivity, one way or another, you can also get distracted with co-workers and so on, if you're working in an office. Same goes to working from home, your surroundings may distract you, but as I've already mentioned, that can even occur while working in person.
As long as the work is being done on time I do not see why some bosses care about it, it seems to me this is just a matter of trying to control their employees when there are many instances in which working from your home can be more effective, I can understand some people wanting to be in the office if the place where they live is full of chaos with their family and kids, but for those that live on their own working from home has less distractions than most offices.
Agreed, as long as work is being carried out, I don't see a reason for employers to not persuade their staff to work from home. Some can be offered the benefit of remote working, as long as they can prove that they are actually productive. That way, money can be saved from both sides, thus increasing both parties satisfaction levels.

The most important thing nowadays is to guarantee a job without worrying if it's a flexible work from home or in loco, because it's really hard to find opportunities and we shouldn't waste them when we find. But for those who aren't able to find a traditional job opportunity, the internet becomes the final salvation, being possible to work online from home.
It's a confortable situation, but the payrates usually aren't that good and you need to dig with a lot of effort in order to have a decent income in the end of the month. It's an interesting challenge, anyway.

It definitely increases the challenge for us employees and it might also increase the workload, but during home office it is just so much more useful. The pandemic changed so much of the average workday. Telefon conferences are so much more common now and take away a lot of time during the day where we aren't productive. On the other side, having a 1 hour lunch break seems wrong if you are just at home anyway. I like the new flexible work schedule.

Working for objectives and meeting goals is much better than having a flexible schedule, but it is not for everyone and the offer is not very large either, there are a variety of jobs with different conditions, in reality the "flexible" schedule is a condition to your type of experience and work to be done.

The pandemic has allowed overcoming paradigms with certain professions that were believed could not be developed from environments other than those strictly working, but they have been able to adapt.

I agree, but sometimes when we work only to meet objectives and goals, somewhere down the line, we make our life "particular" instead of common. It's like we have to continuously create new goals to keep it ongoing rather than being a part of something greater than us and doing a work consistently with more or less flexibility in schedules to meet the larger good/vision. I think there is much mental comfort in the latter.
