Remote Work Terminology – what you should know
- clearly 10y agoAh crap - a popup! I'm writing a personal guidebook to working from home - if this sounds interesting please fill out the form over the right. If it doesn't, hit Escape, close this window, restart your computer, and flee to Mexico.
- clearly 10y agoAbsolute megafail
- Urgo 10y agoThere was no X and hitting Escape as instructed didn't do anything either. Was able to click outside to make it go away but still..
- philipodonnell 10y agoThe X is way up in the upper right. Not a great design.
- KevinEldon 10y agoI didn't get a popup.
- duiker101 10y agoI think it appears only if you scrolled a bit
- fosco 10y agoDid not receive popup, that being said, I have a 'Privacy Badger'[0] plugin which blocked the following websites. s3.buysellads.com forms.convertkit.com and some google api websites that I personally block because it makes my internet healthier :-) [0] https://www.eff.org/privacybadger https://www.eff.org/privacybadger
- jmduke 10y agoI think Zach Holman's post on 'Remote first' vs. 'Remote friendly' does a good job of explaining the distinction: https://zachholman.com/posts/remote-first/ https://zachholman.com/posts/remote-first/
- KevinEldon 10y agoThis was helpful if for nothing else than to illustrate how nuanced the remote work conversation can be. I've also seen companies with a publicly strict on-site policies that are "remote friendly" (remote tolerant?). I agree completely with the author that these are jobs to be careful of.
- csbrooks 10y agoReminds me of the term Euphemism Treadmill: http://www.odlt.org/ballast/euphemism_treadmill.html http://www.odlt.org/ballast/euphemism_treadmill.html
- madarco 10y agoI find the "Digital Nomad" new trend confusing, most of the times they are just offering relocation help in exchange for cheap work
- BerislavLopac 10y agoThis feels incomplete without the entry for "Remote, Oregon".
- darkglow 10y agoI was working remote for almost two years and can say it cam get really hard. The best advise I can give to anyone is: get yourself a shared office space or hot-desk somewhere. There are absolutely fab shared offices around and its really worth the money. After three months working from my living room i almost became a sociopath and a complete workaholic. But even if you not tend to such behavior its nice to have people around to talk to and have coffee with. We spent a lot of time working, we should have some peps around us.
