<Anchor> This



is a friendly economic time.

Today (the 7th), I will be with reporter Han Ji-yeon.

Did you hear that employees were very dissatisfied with the telecommuting method Kakao is trying to implement?



<Reporter>



Yes, during the Corona period, IT companies did a lot of telecommuting.



Recently, game companies are shifting to work at the office to release new games, while Naver and Kakao have pulled out their full-fledged home cards.



Whereas in the past we allowed you to adjust your working hours, this time around, we put limits. 



You must always turn on the speaker or wear earphones to enable voice communication.

We also created a 'core time' system that requires work from 1pm to 5pm.



Naturally, the staff protested, saying it was 'excessive monitoring'.

The company took a step back and said that it would decide the type of work again by holding an employee vote.

Did Elon Musk have an opinion on this kind of telecommuting?

What did you convey?



<Reporter>



Yes, Elon Musk has sent an e-mail to all the employees regarding this, but if you look at the contents, you may feel like a nerd.



According to the contents of the e-mail, he said that he had to work 40 hours a week in the office, and that any employee who did not come to the company would be considered resignation.



In particular, he demanded more strongly from the senior level, saying that the older the person, the more prominent his presence should be, and he said that Tesla would have gone bankrupt long ago if he had not lived in a factory in the past.



Musk, who is known to work 120 hours a week, used the classic expression 'a latte'.



Not only Tesla, there are quite a few companies that are negative about telecommuting.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon also said telecommuting was unusual. 



Reed Hastings, founder of Netflix, also emphasized that new ideas require face-to-face discussions.

There are cases in which companies have recently reduced their work from home and even left the company.



<Reporter>



Yes, IT and big tech companies put a lot of effort into recruiting developers.

Working flexibility, such as telecommuting, is a key incentive to attract talent.



However, if you remove this part, you may be more likely to consider a job change.



In fact, there was a talent leak from 'Apple', and when I said that I would increase my office work to two or three times since early April, star developer Ian Goodfellow moved to Google.



Other employees also strongly objected and resigned, effectively withdrawing from office work three days a week within a month, even before the policy was implemented.



Some analysts predict that 20% of Tesla's employees will change jobs over the next few years due to Tesla's 40-hour workweek policy.



If you listen to the story of <Anchor>



, they say that workers generally prefer to work from home, but there are research results related to it.

Please explain. 



<Reporter>



Yes, according to the Korea Labor Institute survey of 3,000 people who have worked from home, more than 80% of the respondents said that they needed to work from home or that they are using it well.



In addition, 73% said they wanted to keep working from home even after the corona virus, and they cited 'work-life balance' as the reason for their preference.



Parents who have to go to the office at a set time and have to send their children to school every morning have to keep an eye on the workplace.



But when I'm at home, I can ride and work on concentration at another time.

One in three said it could increase their chances of reconciling work and family.



More than 35% of the respondents reported that physical fatigue was reduced because they did not have to commute in the morning and evening by riding in hell.



In addition, 42% of the respondents said that their quality of life improved because they had free time.
