With the shift to Digital Space, it is inevitable that the pandemic caused flexibility in accessibility and of course, work schedules. Meetings in the past that you've had to attend in person were soon found out to be doable through Zoom or Google Meet. Workloads can now be emailed, and most of all, a lot of people who work 9-5 found out they don't need to walk, or run, or drive in order to get to their desks. As long as they have a working internet, and a powerful PC, they are good to go.
But that flexibility comes with more responsibility added to the employee, they are burned out at their own home and if they not lucky they have to make do with trying to comply with the right time to work. And not to mention that the employees has to shoulder the expenses for the things that the work should be responsible of like the Internet and the food allowances.

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.

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.
Working for objectives is quite useful if you are efficient/productive enough to complete the tasks you are given in less time than expected. If it's based on something you are expert in, it can save you loads of time, since your workload is based on how quick you can complete these objectives. 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.

Flexible in work schedule is one good advantage we could say in this situation of pandemic that we have, you save time in commuting, less gas expenses, less hassle in self preparation and many more, you just have to adjust from time to time but off course there are also disadvantage to some whose company is in crisis too, they opted to cut down budget too they, less working days and hours could also be mean less payment.
well most of us now had been scheduled for Work From home because of the pandemic effect but now that all comes back to normal then i think flexibility is not needed anymore and we can do our works in no issue.though flexible in work is needed for us to have more improvement and of course increase of compensation .,
I actually prefer working in an environment I designed my myself. There are certain conditions that I need in order to work effectively in such environment: Conditions like gentle/quiet environment where I'm alone or where everyone is always minding his/her business (unless there is something really important to talk about), it has to have the right chair/table or I'll end up working while lying down or I'll be constantly moving from one end of the room to another in order to think, etc. You can easily design such environment at home, probably not so easy at the main work location. So my working place will need to be like a second home to me.
I wouldn't care too much how long I work as long as I'm in the right environment doing what interests me.

Personally, I think this is going to be a very subjective industry-by-industry move. In my profession this is perfect. However, it doesn't take much to realize the benefits not had by in person team work in other industries.

The benefactors are those who are working into an office types who work at 9-5 regular basis.
With this new setup they don't need to report to their physical desk but instead a work at home setup already fits them, they can do the same workloads without rushing to their offices.
Pandemic changes the way how people/employee's work setup, adding more part-time is now more possible
as they have more time now exploring / browsing in the internet.
If you have a lot of free time then of course to apply flexible working hours will be fine for you. But if it's a flexible part-time job I'm not sure you'll be able to divide your time well, because when you have a full-time job and a part-time job that still doesn't have a fixed schedule it will get annoying. So yeah, I guess it just depends on what kind of activity you have, if a full time job could be cut back and put flexible hours on I'm sure it would still be fine.
I agree that a flexible work schedule must be carried out, because it can prevent the spread of the corona virus. Because not all workers need to come to the office, only certain positions must stay in the office. In my opinion, all jobs that can be done at home, it is better for the worker not to go to the office. Moreover, after working at home for a few months, I found out that I got more benefits from running a flexible work schedule.
Such as saving time, saving costs, having quality time with family, reducing stress and having maximum rest time.
We should have flexible work schedule and even working from home even after corona virus is over. What's the point of being at the job if you could do it at home? I am not saying that everyone should be at home, like many said there are jobs that has to be carried out at work, you can't expect the whole world to be at home, even during a pandemic period we had grocery store workers who were hard at work every single day.Such as saving time, saving costs, having quality time with family, reducing stress and having maximum rest time.
However one thing is for sure, if your job could be carried at home, if you are a professional whose job is also done like freelancer, a coder, a designer, a marketing person, whatever it can be that's doable at home, you should be given that choice easily. If not, people are making their own home business and working there, there are more people working at home these days than any time in history and it will get bigger over time if we do not let them.
Thank you for completing the points I want to explain, it is not possible to expect everyone to work at home. Indeed, there are jobs that must be
done outside the home, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, hospitals, public services, and so on. Therefore, a flexible work schedule must be
enforced, so that it can provide opportunities for workers who can work at home not to be forced to enter the office every day. And it is very wise
to provide opportunities to work at home for those whose work can be done at home. Actually, this does not have to be a pandemic, because like
I said before, working at home has many benefits. So even after the pandemic ends, there is nothing wrong with implementing a flexible work schedule.

Honestly, I would absolutely hate the idea of this. But I also know people who would absolutely love it.
I just feel like this will eat into more of your off-time even though theoretically you shouldn't be disadvantaged from such an arrangement. It's essentially the same story as work-from-home. It supposedly gives you more flexibility and saves travel time, but workers including the GS analysts who came out with the slide deck are just being overworked to death instead.
To each their own I guess, but I would say it's a bit gimmicky and practically it'll just lead to more tasks to be done.

I think we should work flexibly and arrange easy things first and foremost and spare time. Important tasks take more time. It is necessary to arrange them in a sequence depending on the level of importance and time required. To be effective you need to write down your notebooks and stick to them so that you can finish the progress faster.

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 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?

It is beneficial to have an option where users might be able to choose their working patter like, some of them are ready to stretch for 4 days and take a 3-day holidays. Some would like to have a light workday and ready to work few hours each day and even can work on Saturday for few hours. Work from home is now the norm and coming years many things would be revolving around it.

I've seen them all, Lol, but I can't say what I prefer though. Of course we always wanted more free time from work and more time for our family. But I'm everyone here can adjust to any schedule, that's human nature. So there's a lot of positive and negative from working from home, same as working in the office. So for me, there is no best time, it's about being productive in the end.
We would all like to have more free time of course, I think that the common working schedules do not offer that, unless you're working 5 days a week. I wouldn't actually mind to work 4 days a week, 10± hours daily. It would lead to a lot of free time for activities, trips and so on. Flexible work arrangements are the best if we're talking about leisure time.
