I preferred it so much that I found myself a new role with a fully remote company. I’ll happily visit the office once lockdown eases, but the ‘forced experiment’ has proved to me that the upsides (live anywhere, zero commute saving time and money, more time with family, etc) vastly outweigh the downsides.
- j4yav 6y agoI think once people experience flexible/remote work minus lockdown, there’s no going back. Until then everyone sort of misses the office in a vague sense, because they miss the social aspect. Some employers are desperate to prevent their employees from seeing this by making sure they go back into the office as quickly as possible, but the secret is out in my opinion.
- xtracto 6y agoI second this. I moved from a management role to an IC role (incredibly, better paid) and fully remote. My family is scattered around the country. And I'm at a a time when I want to spend more time with my parents.
