What companies are still widely hiring remote workers?

You have to be in Philippines though.

Granted my DH (programmer) is 100% remote in the private sector, but what about people with disabilities? When I was 6 months pregnant I fell and tore a bunch of ligaments in my leg and broke three toes. If I hadn’t been able to work remotely, instead of being productive for another 3 months I would have needed unpaid leave (despite living in CA, as a Fed I don’t get disability).

DP. This is just one example there are tons of people with disabilities that would benefit from being remote. Like autistic adults. Etc. when I took the metro I also used to wonder about wheelchair users because they do so many elevator outage announcements I don’t think they could reliably get into the office that way.

Most of the “fully remote” people I know who make a decent salary have to travel to the home office or client every month or two. But I bet OP isn’t willing to do that.

“Rather go bankrupt.” Only an idiot would say that.

I know of several smaller law firms that do not have a physical office and have always been fully remote. My friends/neighbors that are fully remote work in HR, media, and as PMs. Remote jobs are definitely still out there.

Truly, just try to find a good job with a good employer. The better the employer, the more flexibility. Do a good job and you’ll be fine. I’ve been mostly wfh since 2012 but am more concerned with having good work/projects than with being in my house.

I think you will have better luck finding hybrid schedule than fully remote. I WFH 2-3 days a week, depending upon my work commitments. Lots of good employers are offering hybrid schedules.

My dad worked at home a lot when I was a kid.... he had a home office, computer and phone/fax line.

Could you explain more about why you couldn't come into the office after that injury? Did you need to stay in bed? I'm imagining that you could have used crutches or a wheelchair at the office, but maybe that wasn't an option for you?

NP but why should she explain that? Isn’t it obvious that if the injured pregnant woman can effectively do her job from home that there is no reason on God’s green earth to force her to commute into an office? Do you also agree with United Healthcare’s (since rescinded) decision to refuse payment for anesthesia during surgery? After all, you won’t DIE if you don’t get it so what’s the point, right?

Seriously, WTF is wrong with you people?

Many social workers are remote, they meet with patients in clinics then do everything else at home.

In five years most all will RTO. Oh the good ole days- no need to dress up, no commute, save $$, do errands, walk the dog, …and the 2pm nap. Good thing never lasts as the Feds are harshly learning. Private sector trending RTO also.

Spoken like a true wife-beater.

“Why’d you make me hurt you?”

Not to mention, PP is profoundly ignorant considering many federal jobs were already hybrid well before COVID and then after COVID, there were agencies that literally designated their employees as fully remote.

I don’t understand this hatred for WFH. I always worked on-site due to security reasons, but I have never had even the slightest jealousy or anger towards people that can work from home. Good for them! And selfishly, the fewer people commuting into an office the faster and easier commuting is for me. So good for me!

I seriously don’t get it.

The people who post about it on this board are trolls.

My law firm still does. If you are office staff you have to come in once a week. If you are an attorney you have to come in a max of once a month, but you can get away with showing up via zoom.

NP. Don't be a jerk. It's better for people to work than take leave without pay, get umemployment, get disability insurance.

Society is better off because people with a bum leg can work remotely on computers.
