WFH - Work from home

Hello Fred,

Do you happen to have any updates on this? It would be great to share any official news on whether working from home has been implemented or not.

Cheers,

Cheryl

Information is pretty limited at the moment.

Some few hours ago, Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa said the policies have been decided and will be announced soon. However, there are no solid details at this time.

It looks like government workers will be asked to WFH on Fridays, but that seems to be more like speculation than fact.

There is no official word about schools and businesses.

If anyone from government reads this, perhaps an alternative strategy might be to ban ICE vehicles for one day per week rather than stop people working.

EVs are far cheaper to fuel up, and e-bike/e-motorbikes even more so.

My little thing would get me to central Jakarta and back with ease, but it uses almost no electricity to do it.

These things are very common here so disruption would be lessened when compared to WFH.

East Java has set a WFH for every Wednesday for government employees.

No mention of private companies

It's starting to look like only civil servants will do this.

Most civil servants, and a lot in the private sector.

Primary and secondary education will keep a five day week, as will food and other services that can't manage remote work.

Ever heard of “POETS” day?

Sadly, it's more like POTUS day

@Fred

I was referring to, and I quote " Piss Off Early Tomorrows Saturday" But then civil servants usually only effectively work a 4 day week anyway. So its 'Plus Ca Change'.

@Fred

I completely agree with your point of view. I hope Indonesia can also undertake more infrastructure projects for new energy.

To be honest, many companies were already doing this after the pandemic. In a lot of workplaces, employees only need to come to the office 2 or 3 times a week anyway.

But this kind of policy does not help people working in service sectors, retail, transport, hospitality, field work, or other jobs that require physical presence. That is where the problem is.

So it becomes a bit of a contradiction. The government may call it a solution, but in reality, prices are rising, the dollar is rising, and the cost of living keeps getting worse. For many people, this does not feel like a real answer 😥
