Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. The term flexible and how we achieve flexibility has changed over the years.

So flexibility has always been among the top of the list of employees as to what they've wanted. And it used to be, I want to be flexible so I can go to my kids' events and I want to be there for my family  and I want to be able to handle my life responsibilities. Since the pandemic started, over 2 million people have added doing project work remotely to their side hustle,  their business, they are now gig workers.

So they want the company to be flexible not because they can meet their life responsibilities, it's because they have a second job, they don't want to give up.  And they want to be able to do their side hustle from home and it was easier for them to do their job work and then go to their side hustle work and back to their job work. And since they were on their own computer, nobody could really track it and nobody had the right to.

But if you're in the office, you're not going to be doing your side hustle.And that's a big reason why people want to maintain the flexibility because they want to be able to do their side hustle.
