The Problems in Remote Working
- externalreality 8y agoI have been seeing more and more articles of this type popping up, from formal academic articles to semi-formal articles in Harvard BR to informal articles such as this one - all asking the same question. I think that none of the problems stated in the article are symptoms endemic to remote working. For some demographics remote working is a real boon (e.g. introverts or groups that may find that they are mistreated in a largely white male dominated brick & mortar environment). In short I think much research has to be done in order to come to any concrete conclusions. We wouldn't want the final say on the pros and cons of remote work to be dictated by pop culture or social media opinions.
- jimrhods23 8y agoI've been working remotely for the past 10 years. Originally, it was because I hated working from an office. Now, it's because it makes it really easy to work on my own business (no wasting time with commutes). It is socially isolating, but I do have friends outside of work and go to local meetups regularly. I also rent my own office space, which also provides more social interaction.
