Remote work is the best and most important thing to happen to humanity since the synthesis of penicillin or the invention of refrigerators.

Before remote work, only a tiny fraction of a percent of the global south population could overcome all the immigration barriers to obtain a visa for wealthy countries and seize an opportunity for a great career.

For that small percentage, it meant leaving friends and relatives, spending all their savings on relocation, and enduring a long, exhausting, and often humiliating immigration process with no guarantees.

Remote work transcends borders, cultural differences, and geopolitical tensions. It’s one of the most precious gifts humanity has received from technological development over the last centuries.

Yet, we still debate whether we should hire only in person or if remote work is a good thing.

Hello! I'm a #JobSeeker looking to #GetFediHired for my first corporate job since graduating from college in December 2020.

My job preferences are already stated in my #LinkedIn profile, but I'll expand upon them here.

I'm mainly considering any part-time #Remote positions related to #WebDev, #WebDesign, #GraphicDesign, #Blogging, #Podcasting, etc.

I've always been interested in technology & design ever since my teen years, so having the opportunity to work for a company in that field would be an honor.

Since I have an official autism diagnosis under my belt, I'm willing to work through obtaining any necessary accommodations with future bosses & managers to ensure that I can be a highly productive employee.

NOTE: My resume is currently a bit out of date, but I will make it available for anyone to read as soon as it's fully updated.

If anyone has any questions and/or would like to offer me an interview, my DMs are always open for recruiters.

P.S. Any boosts on this point are greatly appreciated! 💜

My experience has been that many factories/offices are owned by the companies senior management/site directors and rented to the company as a way of getting even more out of the company.

So, those senior managers are exposed to any crash in corporate real estate.

Is it cynical to think that is where a lot of the #returntooffice impetus is coming from? #workfromhome

Wow, the Zoom CEO doesn’t believe in his product, contradicting his own marketing material and he isn’t skilled enough as a leader to build a cohesive work culture. What a loser.

New RTO policies with a shift to open-floor plans. Actual nightmare scenario. #workfromhome

Last work-from-home day of the summer. Classes start Monday, and there are events and meetings to be on campus for tomorrow and Friday. Mixed feelings, it's been nice sitting on the porch and working at a relaxed pace most days, but it's also a bit isolated at times. Definitely looking forward to the new semester.

I've been wondering how these return-to-office schemes work from an OH&S point of view

WFH is a control for a workplace hazard, right? There are processes for removing controls for workplace hazards, and I haven't heard of anyone following them

So few workers go into the office now that more than one-third of desks sit empty all week
https://fortune.com/2023/08/22/remote-work-empty-desks-all-week/

Some key stats from the article:
- "The report, from Australian workplace sensor provider XY Sense, found that 36% of so-called workpoints — cubicles and desks — are never occupied, “indicating a general oversupply.” Of those that are used, 29% were for three hours or less on a given day."
- "Overall, office utilization is stuck at about 50% of pre-pandemic levels."

Since this is the reality of the situation, why are so many companies and senior managers hellbent on getting workers back into the office? Surely they can see from productivity that people who work from home are as good or better at the job as people who work in the office?

On the new good internet, your boss can't use #bossware to turn #WorkFromHome into #LiveAtWork:

And on top of that, you have the right to hack that bossware to undetectably disable it (and hackers have the right to sell or give you that hack):
