I’ve had mostly good luck with home advisor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 It sounds like the Wilfs are going to be buying Orlando City SC. They have been trying to get an MLS team for a while. Orlando is a cool team with a great stadium, and the Wilfs can stay consistent with the purple look. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a good time to go to a vaccine location is towards the end of the day. If you don’t have an appointment, there’s a good chance they’ll have extra vaccines that didn’t get used that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENINCH Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I think that American's regardless of their job should get 2 months paid vacation every year. Gives us time to vacation, explore, spend time with your family and meet people in your community. Make This Happen and bring back Blockbuster! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also need to encourage Americans to take the vacation they actually do get and forbid employer retaliation for taking it. Frankly, there are a ton of things American business can do to increase productivity and employee happiness, but they're too set in their ways. Study after study shows 3 and 4 day workweeks increase productive hours and employee satisfaction, but everyone is stuck on 5 day/40 hour weeks. Thirty days of vacation a year would be adequate if employers forced employees to take it, or didn't give the perception that an employee would somehow be punished for taking it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working less hours would require paying people a livable wage, but we can't have that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even about working less hours though. Studies have shown that ten hour days, four days a week, lead to a happier and healthier workforce. Thirteen hour workdays tend to be less productive towards the end, but no less productive overall than your standard M-F, 9-5. But yes, stagnant wages are absolutely a problem. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work for a great company. Time off, Bonuses, Holidays all that good stuff. We tried to provide research and documentation that 4 - 10 hours days would improve production and moral among the employess and they wouldn't listen. These American companies are so used to 5 days of work that nothing can change that. Then I read about some of these foreign countries offering so many benefits and time away from work to "heal and better" yourself. 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 We'll certainly know a whole lot more about productivity in the WFH scenarios that many of us are in and have been for quite some time now. I find a lot of pros and cons to it, but the hybrid model will be here to stay no matter what hours they will encompass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cons aren't negligible either though. With each passing day I feel increasingly disconnected from my teammates and the organization. As far as productivity, I do feel like I am a lot more productive now. In fact, I am going to go get supper started right now. I couldn't achieve that kind of productivity before they kicked me out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
