It is a sad state of affairs when labor is convinced that spending more of their time in a little box (regardless of pilot) in order to show up to work is somehow any sort of leisure at all.
Why is all this tech being used to solve the goal of self-driving cars, and yet remote work is still somehow in the realm of fantasy to most people?
- Noos 10y agobecause only a tiny amount of the workforce does the kind of hands-off knowledge work than can be done remotely, and without the need for significant employee control.
- nine_k 10y agoWorking remotely can be great; I worked this way for several years. But not all jobs are like programmer's. Think of e.g. medical personnel, overworked as they usually are, being able to sleep for an extra hour while being taken to / from a hospital. Think of a teacher who could spend an hour of commute preparing to the lessons instead of holding the steering wheel. Think of a plumber who can settle some business affairs while on the road, and spend an extra hour with his kids instead.
