TRANSCRIPTazurewhite
Switching to full time remote working last year was the best health decision ever, both in terms of mental and physical health. Miss the office? Never! Neither the so‑called corpo‑culture of small talk with my colleagues, nor the daily commute in traffic. A small part of this time now goes into walking to the co‑working space in the library near my house. Much healthier I must say! And it’s not just about taking a walk in the fresh air. It’s straightening up instead of sitting in the car, and it’s looking around instead of focusing on one point all day. My eyes feel much better and my back aches have gone away. When I get to the library, there are usually three or four other people working on their computers. I stay there for three or four hours, it depends on the day and project. But it’s a great place to focus and I’m doing so well that I even got an efficiency bonus last month. I honestly don’t know why you’re hesitating! Trust me, just do it. You won’t regret it.

Would you prefer a cTu uzupełnij workweek of four days or shorter work days Monday through Friday?
My doctor says I'm suffering from eye sTu uzupełnij, sitting in front of the computer all day.
The company declared it suffered huge losses and was forced to introduce wage cTu uzupełnij.
What is the most typical oTu uzupełnij disease of your chosen profession?
I’ve tried working two jobs, but the wTu uzupełnij is just too much and I’ll have to quit one of them.
With three deadlines on the horizon, our schedule has been hTu uzupełnij lately.
Unfortunately, Mr. Hansey is on sick lTu uzupełnij till the end of the week, please call back next Monday.
To improve employee eTu uzupełnij, the company officially encourages employees to listen to music or indulge in any other activities that lighten their mood and help them work better.
This is a very cTu uzupełnij workplace; you either prove you can handle the stress and oTu uzupełnij, (sometimes four extra hours a day), or you’re out.

I wouldn’t want to…, I think I'd prefer... But I'd love to... clocking in and out whenever I want sounds...
I wouldn’t want to have totally flexible time, because I’m afraid I would get distracted too easily. I think I’d prefer hybrid, which, with some office time, would motivate me to work better, as would a tight schedule. But I’d love to have flexitime schedule, since clocking in and out whenever I want sounds perfect to someone who, like me, likes to sleep longer in the morning, then work, then take a break. But late in the evening my productivity goes up again.
