I was offered the opportunity to work 100% remotely for a large financial corporation which has the bulk of its operations in my home town. This was back in 2006. One of my best friends was outfitted with a DS1 to his house back in the mid '90's so he could work remotely.
tl;dr: Telecommuting has been around for decades and is only going to become more common, not less. The pandemic merely accelerated the trend.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 5y agoCan confirm. Buddy of mine was good, lived far away, and basically threatened to walk if accommodation was not made. Remote existed for a while, but it was considered a 'favor' bosses bestowed upon you. Now it is the norm and suddenly not only normal order is upset, but also one carrot is gone from the manager's quiver. I completely agree with your post.
