[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I say zero in real world. In real world remote workers get canned first and dont get promoted [/quote]

Then why a lot of people desperately want remote work or telework?  You may not want it, but a lot people want it.

Your comment does not make any sense.  [/quote]

SAHMs, Goof offs, near retirement people want it. Terrible for young ambitious people. My last job was 100 percent remote. Not only that we did not have real work hours, just had to get stuff done. Most of my deliverables were quarterly. I had one monthly which was an update meeting that I just gave a two minute update at verbally. Even that I could skip no problem.

Trouble was they gave near zero raises and below market pay in exchange for this and very hard to get promoted. Perfect job if mommy tracking, a young kid partying or a 63-67 years old milking it. Most people who worked there quit after a year or two. It was a dead end. And you were the sacrificial lamb. It could end any moment. So unless you really did not need the money not a great job.

My one good friend there. Her husband a teacher, she had had two kids while working there and spend summers at her beach house and had no child care. If she lost her job not end of world as not even on our benefits. Even she quit after 4.5 years. It was a dead end and eventually she wake up and be 50 and useless. She did enjoy her five summers at the the beach. Her work schedule. Get up with coffee before kids and husband up, watch sun rising check slack or Jira, make breakfast kids and husband, hit the beach, come back make lunch, she check work, then either chill on deck or back to beach, check email and husband would bbq and make dinner while she had drinks on the deck. She was funny. She told me all of July and August one year she did on average 2-3 hours work a week each year.

I mean it is nice but it is to point they were going eventually can her and her skills were becoming useless and had not got a raise or bonus in her four years other than uselss RSUs and stock grants you wait years to get.

Me and her keep in touch. [/quote]
