This is the ONE good thing Covid brought about. Lots of company employees never realized the place they work for already had the infrastructure in place for almost EVERYONE to work from home and even BYOD.
When they found out they were like holy shit, I've been living a fucking lie.
I've been remote for 13 years and I'm waaay more productive.
@th3j35t3r I've been remote for 30 years; the longest I worked in an office since 1992 was 3 months. I was writing about telecommuting skills back then!
I worked on a project a few years ago that cited a statistic: Before Covid, companies were asked how long it'd take them to gear up for a remote workforce. The consensus was 11 months. The average enterprise accomplished it in 11 days!
I wish I remembered where that stat came from; it'd be useful elsewhere too.
I’ve been remote 22 years. Going into a building, being under the watchful eye of a boss, and having to actually socialize when I’d rather just get the work done is never going to happen again if have my way.
