If I were given unlimited money, I wouldn't go to Office, but I would go to Home. Remote work allows me to spend more time in the place that I actually care about. Easy choice.
Many people point out that this makes team cohesion harder. I don't care, my economic output is meaningless in the context of greater life. I'd like to do the least amount of bullshit work and the most amount of important work possible, and the majority of the important work I do as a rich non-farming westerner takes place at my house or in my neighborhood. My coworkers at Office tolerate me, but my friends and family at Home love me.
I view remote work as a wonderful transaction heavily tilted in my favor. The company gets the same work they'd get out of me otherwise, and it gives up a monopolization on my physical being. I'll take a salary hit for that any day. People ought to start realizing that unless they're involved in the production of goods or services necessary for other people to physically remain alive, your job literally doesn't matter. You have X hours between when you wake up and when you go to sleep. The more of those you can spend practicing the art of civilization and the fewer of those you spend grinding out increases in shareholder value the richer society will be.
- nikau 4y agoI've found team cohesion better than ever by just going into the office once a fortnight or so to have some after work drinks. Seems to work out better as people have a few weeks of gossip and rants to offload vs seeing everyone daily.
- quacked 4y agoMakes perfect sense to me. That actually sounds like a good time.
