Now on my 40s, I love to work from home. It gives me the freedom to better distribute my workload through the day. I can surf early in the morning, work some hours, go to the supermarket, work again, sometimes cook with my wife when we have time, work late night.. I work more than 8 hours day and I produce much more, but I enjoy my life more too. However, it was really important for my professional development to have worked 15 years in an office before. Almost all points on this article are right, and I really see no possibility to grow as remote employee, BUT, I don't want to spend 8-10 hours in an office anymore, and I can really see, via video call, how it kills people mood
- x62Bh7948f 6y agothis sounds really good. my company wouldn't let me work like this (Japanese mid size, with no remote before covid). Just last week I left my phone charging while still coding (my manager could have seen my commits) in another room. When I checked slack again "he was afraid I had an accident" because I didn't send the "I'm back from lunch" message after taking my break.
- pelasaco 6y agowow, another level of micromanagement. We have our core working time, from 11 to 15, and we have to be accessible this time - we arrange our meetings around this time frame, and the rest of the day you use like you wish. Some people are early birds, others work late.. but in the end of the day, you have a sprint, you have tasks, and that's what matters..
