It sounds more like you're better off with remote work because it allows you to escape a dysfunctional local market. I prefer remote work too, but I'd get sack

I prefer remote work too, but I'd get sacked before allowing some PHB to dictate my OS, or sit at some weird communal longdesk. It's so far from my experience as to seem like a joke.
You spent a _year_ at a place that made you sit at a fucking desk that doesn't fit you? My god.
- boring_twenties 7y agoThe large companies I've worked at don't even have the notion of letting you install your own OS. You ask the IT department for a workstation, they image you one and give it to you. That's it. If you're a senior developer with friends in the right places, you can get administrator access. > You spent a _year_ at a place that made you sit at a fucking desk that doesn't fit you? My god. Sounds pretty ridiculous when you put it that way, yes :) but after all, what do we expect them to do? Tell the office manager that her beautiful design had to be screwed with just because of some senior engineer doesn't fit there?

Seriously. I ruined my hearing sitting in a server room for a year when I was younger. Don't fuck up your body for any company, you will regret it. Also most countries have accessibility legislation of some sort. It's not just for "disabled" people, this sort of thing is normally explicitly part of it.
- esotericn 7y agoI expect them to find another employee. Or not. It's really not my problem. I work for companies and clients that respect their staff. We both do better that way.
