What the clerk traveling in the subway car is thinking.

    Moving every morning from home to my workspace and vice versa in the evening, I recently began to wonder how justified the daily movement of such a quantity of biomass, of which I myself am a part. Not only do we spend precious several hours of our lives on, for the most part, silent pushing in the subway, standing in traffic jams, we pass each other (airborne droplets) viruses and other microorganisms, constantly increasing the likelihood of flu outbreaks or worse), we We make a daily energy release, in anticipation of the promised crisis with hydrocarbon reserves. There are more and more cars in the city every minute, and any sense of their use is lost, unless of course you like to stand in traffic jams, listen to the radio, breathe exhaust and use fouling than the light of your neighbor. Metro is not better, because already choking on such a number of passengers. Why is this happening, why do people choose such psychological stress in exchange for an additional 10-15 thousand rubles, do not look for work closer to home? Probably, some mechanisms of the struggle for survival and places under the sun work, this is prompted by the modern structure of employment, career building and blah blah blah blah, there are thousands of reasons and I am not an expert in sociology, psychology, the life of modern society, etc. etc., but there are specific facts of congestion in urban transport channels with all the ensuing consequences.
    What am I leading, you ask. But in fact I would like to discuss the following. Because most of the moving protein in the city is all the same clerks and other office plankton, who is in a hurry to take a seat at his monitor and open his favorite platform for communication / dating, shopping and maybe work, it might make sense to rebuild the general principle of employee-employer interaction in such an example. Why move 3 hours a person a day, spend energy on it, create huge accumulations of stress for owners of private vehicles and users of public, if it would be possible to organize his work directly from home, having only staff serving the corporate network in the office and people who have a presence in the office vital.
    I think many corporations are thinking about this option, but the problem of its implementation most likely rests on the cost of its implementation, and not just money. It is practically the creation from scratch of new work procedures, personnel control by the management, implementation of the network and software platform, and the solution of security problems. And in order to realize this and feel the result, it is necessary to interest not only the industry, but also the authorities. Perhaps I’m wasting my brain’s capabilities in vain) to try to reflect on a trend that already exists and is undergoing vigorous activity to realize it, but I certainly haven’t heard about it through the information channels that I possess. Yes, there are IT organizations that distribute tasks between remote programmers, designers, etc., use outsourcing and freelance. But for the most part, office life takes place precisely in the office. Yes, there are means of remote control over the operation of the personal computer and the person sitting behind it, but again this is rather an insignificant detail and to solve the problems described above it is foolish to use their example.
    I think the average organization in the future will probably do without an office at all. Those. workers are sitting at home, servers serving the work process are located at the provider of this type of service, a warehouse / service / transport or other type of service tool is hired by outsourcing a company specializing in this, and for the organization itself it remains to look for customers, analyze activities and make decisions to improve organization). Just a fairy tale).
    In conclusion, I want to say that the current situation with the development of network services is possible, there is just a vector to what I wrote above, but so far the very same N.0 web, so actively discussed everywhere, acts primitively and serves only as entertainment and murder time for the same clerks and the like. But perhaps the moment will come when the quantity will finally be transferred to the quality and unlimited possibilities of the network, and finally will be sent to those channels that will solve not only the issues of relaxation and communication, but will also become tools for solving more necessary ones.

    Good luck.
