I worked remotely, very few hours per day, and nobody knew how few hours I worked because I was still the person they gave all the hard problems to and ripped through all my tasks quickly.
But any innovations put forward were rejected through political games played by non remote employees. On some meta level I was fine with that because while they saw those as petty wins I was living a life of freedom working less than half the day.
Since then I realized the same level of freedom could be had with people who care to leverage innovation instead of striving to fight it. Life was very good, now it's great.
- isoprophlex 6y agoInspiring story; how'd you manage to identify the people that cared about leveraging your innovations?
- hackerfromthefu 6y agoHi thanks for your post. It jumped right out at me and I had to login and reply right away - because my experience is the same as yours, verbatim, for the first part! I'm presently as you mentioned: fully remote, fixing the hard problems so they keep me well rewarded, doing it part time and enjoying the freedom, the org is political and non remote with culture issues stifling true innovation .. its striking in its similarity I feel like we could be work twins! I would love to talk to you about the next level, what it is for you and also how you got there. If I can, how can I get in touch with you?
- mensetmanusman 6y agoI feel like a 35 year old version of you, I can’t believe how much freedom I have. I’m blessed to have a mind that is constantly inventing I guess.
