Why is time online big (assuming more means better)? I do remote too and I would never consider that to be important as long as the work gets done.

- tboyd47 9y agoIf you're employed full-time, the expectation is that you're giving your employer roughly 40 hours a week. Nobody can code continuously for 8 hours a day and be productive, but just being available is the bare minimum you can do to be considered "working." I've never heard anyone get cool points at our company for being online more than 8 hours a day, but being online less than that (without reason) is definitely frowned upon.
- sidlls 9y agoI don't see the point: it seems like the company you're at is more or less putting the infrastructure cost (rent, internet) on its employees and otherwise treating them as though they ought to be working as if on-premises in a "butts in the seat" style.
- subway 9y agoSeems like a great way to motivate employees to keep slack open while remaining totally unengaged...
- giobox 9y agoMy pet hate is folks working from home who can't be contacted in a timely manner during the working day. I've personally no issue with remote working, but if my colleagues do it, I expect to be able to reach them as easily as I might if I could just walk to their desk in the office.
- rorykoehler 9y agoDepends on their role and what phase of the project you're in. Ideally remote work should be organised to be completely asynchronous which require good planning.
