Or maybe this is a normal option? Why should we be hired for a permanent job, and be in a sense a hostage of the employer? Today he pays you, tomorrow he can say that "the situation has changed, now there will be 50% of the agreements." Or - I laid off some of the staff, now you will still do the work for the laid-off? With outsourcing, you are almost on equal terms with the employer, you have a common interest in the result ...

Earlier i was so desperate to go to office. But since the time I have started working from home. i think I focus more on work
Otherwise in office we use to work less and gossip more and sometime during stress hour we have to tell other to please keep quiet for sometime

My friend's company went into home office model during the pandemic and they remained there when they saw the bills. They had close to 100 people in 1 building and this is a software company so 100 computers running, lights, AC, security in the building, cleaning... That's a huge cost every month.

Performance wise they even improved when people started working from home because they were better rested. They could avoid traffic jams and sleep an hour longer every day and saved up on fuel.
I don't believe they're ever coming back from this.

Generation Z appears to be the largest freelancing demographic. Which makes sense given they're probably the most internet and technology literate. I think generation Z is also the largest crypto using and supporting demographic.

With concerns lingering over future job automation and lack of wage growth. Could side hustles and freelancing work represent the natural progression for the future of job markets? If this is true, then could crypto also be prominently positioned to best leverage and fulfill needed areas of freelance finance, given its flexibility, adaptability and rapid deployment capabilities.

I do think that we are experiencing the era of side-hustles given that the technology worldwide is also developing in a rapid pace. Bearing this in mind, this creates an opportunity for the younger generation to explore this venture and see if they can actually profit from these side-hustles.

To be honest, this is the perfect time for everyone to experience the profitable side of cryptocurrencies. Its reputation across the globe is steadily increasing and more and more companies are starting to adopt it on their financials.

Many people always make working in an office a hope for success and wealth, what we have to understand is that if we work in an office, we will get a salary that has been determined by the company, many are afraid to become entrepreneurs for fear of competition or other factors, if we Dare to do something that scares us, then do it immediately.

The percentage of office work that can make someone rich is actually not that big in my country, working in our office has a set salary, benefits and other wages, many people even complain when they receive a salary at the beginning of the month, because they cannot afford to pay off loan deposits, vehicle loans, and housing installments with the salary they receive.

While people who have a business in the field of sales (traders), it turns out that their financial strength is much stronger compared to office workers. I think office jobs just put us in a comfort zone, but the opportunity to get richer is very contradictory.

Yes, we just spoke about this yesterday.... this sudden shift to "Work from home" have had a strange affect on the house prices in small towns. People can now work in any town they want, so they are moving to areas away from their town where their offices are situated. (Sometimes just going to their Office once or two times per month)

All meetings are done virtually and they do their admin work and/or programming etc... from another town. This has caused an increase of property prices in the strangest places. Roll Eyes

I mean insurances, 404k, paid vacations, bonuses, etc.
If not, I am afraid big companies might take advantage of freelance workers in order to get job done while having no legal strings attached to them. Or am I wrong on this one?

Uber and Lyft follow this business model (ride share servies). In jurisdictions where Uber and Lyft operate, their employees are considered contractors, or freelancers. It ensures that these companies do not need to pay out benefits to full time employees or adhere to federal regulations and worker protections. It's not necessarily a bad thing, though. The idea of freelance work is not adhering to a strict schedule and being in charge of your own time. If companies allow you the freedom to choose your own hours with at will employment at the expense of certain benefits, it isn't necessarily predatory.

There are things that make us complacent when working in the office, sometimes time is not felt so that when we are old we will be aware and regret, if we owns the office then this is a good thing, but if only an employee then it is better to leave it immediately, many opportunities To get greater money than working in the office.

This is so true. I had the same thing nearly 10 years ago now, I worked at an office, had a side hustle and then I started to end up earning enough to quit my job, to be fair I got fired and did not quit, but the job I found was such a wonderful job that I kept working at it and now I am still working with it.

This is an amazing job for me and I am super happy about it and I am going to keep being happy about it for a long time as well. People who are not entirely sure about side hustles should try some, I guarantee you that it will give you some happiness. The weird part is, we used to spend this free time on hobbies, now we use them on trying to earn money.

I think happiness while on the job matters a lot. Like you stated, you are super happy and most likely would be happy for a long time as well. Employers who prioritize employee happiness and satisfaction on the job would have happy and satisfied employees who are able and willing to work and an employee that is actually willing to work and not just working for the pay is precious to the employer.

Side hustles were formerly looked down on as a thing poor to middle income families did to survive and make ends meet. But today, almost everyone has a side hustle to bolster their income gotten from their main gig. And it seems side hustles aren’t limited to poor to middle income earners anymore as people from all walks of life are now having second jobs and side hustles to earn some more.

Of course in this era there's many way to make money without need to work under your boss or company, but make sure you're need to have very good knowledge, skillful and has a wide connections. You can't just become a master of blockchain but you can't find the place how to sell your service, in this way you need a lot connection where someone can recommend your service to the clients that need it.

Honestly working your under boss or company doesn't have 100% guarantee you will not get kicked or fired, which mean every jobs has it own risk.

I guess it's the trend nowadays working as a freelancer, saving all the opportunities for your own self, without the need for a boss since you can be your own boss at your own work. However, for you to do that, you have to own some irresistible excellent qualities so that whatever work you're into, you'll definitely reach your client's high standards.

I think this is more of a forced choice for the majority of those which have some sort side job than a decision they have taken on their own.

If people were given the choice between being their own boss or working for a company I am sure most of them will pick a regular job with good salary, medical insurance and other perks, but those jobs are very scarce today, so it is not as if they have any choice, and as such the younger generations understand the market they are facing and they are doing the best they can to survive under the current conditions.

Definitely we are living in the era of side hustles. With all the reasons plotted above there are also valid reasons like need of “multiple income” sources considering increased cost of living while less salary hikes for the fixed salary jobs.

There is even craze of doing “moonlight works” everywhere. By definition it means one person joining 2 or more than 2 companies at the same time to earn more money. This tells us the story that living has become very hard. If you don’t have bank accounts full of cash then you have to keep struggling with side hustles and moon Light work.

I would say that having a huge bankroll in your savings account really matters these days as we are battling with the consistent price increase with our basic goods and services. And by sticking to your own job might not be the smartest thing to do but to explore outside and go out from your comfort zone. And with generations Z that are following high technology trend, the demands right now are clearly seen high in online jobs or online investments.

this i believe is one of our learnings during the height of covid pandemic. not to stick with one job as you will be left no other options to survive if suddenly it stops giving you source of living. this is why, we should always find a way how to look for other side jobs that may possibly assist us in time of crisis. we can't rely from government's aid as we don't know when it will arrive. much better if you feel you are always self-sufficient at any point.

Would really be the most sensible to be done is on which you should really be making yourself that get involved with other or various jobs which would really be adding up into your current income or even getting

bigger than that.Its true that we've been battling out with these non stop increasing of goods and services when it comes to their prices which do really sucks on living on this way.

This is why it would really be just sensible that you would really be finding other sources which would make you able to survive this nonstop recession and inflation.
If you are really just contented on having able to eat 3x a day and wont really be going beyond the borders then its up to your own choice but this isnt something a life that you should
really be hoping or looking for.Aim high and try out your best on finding other sources so that you could really move up more than when it comes to finances.

We're living in times that human minds have evolved drastically and programmed to compete for the scares resources available hence people know that government white collar jobs won't foot all their bills so everyone is seeking for alternative source of income.... So side hustle is gradually becoming a norm

We are required to think more realistically when we are in a situation where technology is very fast and of course we have to take advantage of this.
As for side jobs or main jobs, it's actually quite difficult for me to distinguish this now because indeed in my side job it's actually what makes my life better and even when talking about income, of course it's a little different and bigger from my side job than the main job.

With this current high inflation around the world, living life would bring a lot of cost. That is why if we can resort into finding multi sources of income, that would be better since it will provide us guarantees not to struggle that much. And the only way to make this highly possible is to become a freelancer wherein you can live your life with side hustles.

Living in Turkey, this is a bit easier to do actually. Considering our minimum wage is under 300 dollars, and a decent life starts at around 1000 dollars a month, that is not a lot of money to make. Anyone who has been in the digital world would tell you that making 1000 dollars or so a month is actually quite possible. Just here with the campaign I have, I am making something like 200 dollars alone, I have another job where I make at least 600, sometimes as high as 700 dollars, which means 800-900 is in the bag already. That is nearly three times more than the minimum wage, and I work digitally and have decent enough English, that's it, really nothing much is required if you know what you are doing and focus on what you are good at.

Actually, if you look at the current conditions for me personally because I am too comfortable in a zone where doing work at home, especially during the several years of lockdown, has made me used to this and now when I return to the office it makes me a little uncomfortable, although this definitely takes some getting used to. repeat.
As for talking about generation Z, right now there is also a slight difference, especially with many jobs that can be used as objects or categorized as freelancers, this also supports them to live more freely but have income.

If the job pays well and we like what we’re doing we will be able to adjust in every situation, I have knew some people who decide not to return at office and just quit to keep their doing side hustles. There are many ways that can help us earn more without committing 8hrs or more in one job unless it compensate or pay as well. At this time many earns more thru online works, some into virtual works, online selling, some are bloggers and others are into trading. This comes with option of working anywhere we want. Though, office jobs guarantees us to have our payment monthly some online side hustles may not pay enough for what we need or might be gone at the least expected time.
