I sometimes I feel like a rare case when I say I really dislike working remotely. I find it a pain having to call people, and I feel it's tough to have meaningful discussions using text-based forms of chat.
I just feel like communication is much easier and more effective to communicate face to face with people as the norm. And being able to just talk over my cube to another member of the team is something I would have a hard time giving up.
- ericmoritz 16y agoI'm about two months into my first remote gig and I have to agree with you that communication is the worse. Sometimes I feel like I'm pulling teeth to get an answer out of anyone.
- garagebander 16y agoI think this depends on your requirements... if you are a liaison between departments, or the specs of what you are trying to do aren't well defined, there's too much to communicate. Some remote jobs are great: they lay out what you need and you provide it without having to pester people for information.
- kemayo 16y agoI do think that it's not for everyone. Some people have a communication style that works much better for in-person interactions. However, I suspect that the people who are suited for remote-working are rather concentrated in the engineering disciplines. :)
