New dishonest excuse for the gender pay gap just dropped from Jeff Bezos’ personal propaganda factory
If 99% of what you do is in front of a computer and the other 1% is in meetings there’s no reason there shouldn’t be remote work.
I moved fully remote a year ago for several reasons, and as much as I miss the office camaraderie, my wallet, belt line and mental health all appreciate it a lot.
Eh, there are a few reasons someone may prefer the office, but the option for remote work should always be present.
I’ve been 100% remote since 2017. I don’t even know if I could function in a traditional office again. Too many distractions
I agree. I also agree with the person who replied to you that said for some working onsite is still the best option. I think that both options have benefits and detriments. Mainly depending on what type of responsibilities you have at home. If I lived alone I might want to go on site just so I wasn’t alone for a majority of my life. As it stands I have a wife and two kids and a kitty, so being home to help out (and avoid the 1000$ a month daycare bill) has been a great benefit to my mental health
Yep, and while working from home should never be in lieu of actual child care, cutting out 2-3 hours of commute time in each side and being able to help at lunch is HUGE.
Even if you still put your kids in daycare, you would still spend more time with them and it’d be less stressful if you were working from home. You can get a daycare close to your house vs on the way to work/near work.
Been working remote since 2016, no issues, stuff gets done (GIS, software development, data management, client support). I know may others have been working remotely for much longer.
Because someone mentioned gaining weight… if you do work remotely it can become easy to roll out of bed and into the chair, make sure to take time to exercise (even a brisk walk). I try to get a walk in before breakfast each morning, then follow up with more intense sessions during the day to break up all the sitting or a longer session in the evening.
