If they don't pay for my infrastructure then they don't have control over it and don't get to make directives about how it's configured or managed. I've been mostly remote for my 20 years of working. Sometimes, even recently, issues have cropped up because employers expect it to turn on and off like the tap, but I'm doing a network upgrade. Sure I've got my own connection, hell, I think we'll see companies in the future having corporate accounts to install second connections in home offices. It would make sense to get the control, the discounts, and stay the hell off my network with work stuff.
- hansvm 4y agoI know someone recently who had that happen. Work paid for a special work network to be added to the house.
- stuntkite 4y agoThat's interesting to hear! Based off of that I'd guess they are a pretty good employer, or they are fintech which means even if they are assholes they are paying well. Congrats to your friend! I've been a serial startup guy my whole life and now at nearly 40 I'm starting what I plan to be my last tech startup. I will soon be hiring team members and I don't plan to build a business that isn't light and remote. With all of my new hires I will be installing a second internet connection in their house with gear I determine. This will give me complete control of the routing tables, security, and monitoring for connection issues and also they won't have to sometimes worry if my business is snooping on their personal life. I think there is market opportunity for the providers to see this happening and make it easier to do for business customers. IMO, it's critical.
