Thanks for your answer! That's quite true that 'not remote' isn't guarantee of anyhting either.
What I have been talking with ppl, there is few other questions in the air about remote working. How do you track that everyone does their job, or dont. How you can know they actually do something and doesn't outsource it. If job is testing or research how can you track that job is really done. And the most common question is "how can you know that they actually do 8 hours per day?"
Do you have anything to share on these question? Tools or good practices?
- DamonHD 9y agoMaking sure that work is being done remotely is not much different than in the office, unless it's something physical like making pies which you can see. I can see updates in a repo as easily 1000 miles away as sitting next to the person doing the work. I also don't care about 8 hours per day, I care about outcomes. I also am happy to pay by the hour or the day or whatever is appropriate. In fact I am nominally the only person in my current business nominally doing 8h per day, and it really doesn't matter as long as the right goals are achieved.
- lehtu 9y agoWords of wisdom! That's very true that repos are good way to know if someone is doing anything or not. Also I like the idea that the result counts, not only hours spent itself. I'm afraid that most of the companies in Finland are too conservative for this new way of thinking..
- eip 9y agoThose questions apply equally to in office employees.
- lehtu 9y agoSpot on! But for some reason no one is asking those questions when speaking about work done in the office. Weird isn't it?
