I keep hearing doom and gloom about remote work from people that have been doing it less then 3 years...
After 20 years remote (try getting remote work in 2000ish!), I have had any of the awful downsides people keep _predicting_.
If you're interested in remote work, give it time, get used to the differences between on-site and remote, and plan accordingly...
For instance, if you got opportunities because you sat next to the boss or were the first person he saw coming out of a meeting - 'ping' him with a status update email on something when he gets out of 'the big meeting' - this way, you're the first 'virtual' person they 'see'
- bobbiechen 6y agoThat's an interesting strategy, I imagine it takes a lot more dedicated effort than noticing the person sitting next to you returning to a meeting. How do you know when these meetings are happening, a shared calendar?
- mech422 6y agoIt was just an idea, each situation will be different...For instance, I normally know about meetings cuz the boss has me do the prep work for them :-P
