That's a great way to lose tons of manufacturing, skilled craftsmanship, assembly, repair, and service sectors jobs along with many people in the arts, cinema, music, and... well almost everything but coding, finance, and the CAD parts of engineering.
- abakker 7y agoCame here to say the same thing. There remain a plurality of jobs that literally require physical access to tools, systems, cash registers, customers, etc. I agree that where possible, remote should be allowed/encouraged. I also think that for roles where that can't work, we should consider 4 day work weeks, or other non-commute or less commute strategies. But, to a great extent we are not going to eliminate the in-person nature of working with other people, and we probably shouldn't aim to all live in little bubbles. Source: I have been full time remote for 7 years. I estimate it saves me ~25k/year in direct and indirect costs + time.
