I unironically upvoted you: > 1. never knowing anyone on a personal level in the company (no matter how long you've been there) Good. My relationship with my colleagues should be based on respect and professionalism. I don't need to know them on a personal level, nor do I want to. > 2. being perceived as a sub-human disposable 'resource' I worked for 15 years prior to the pandemic in office. All companies perceive you as "sub human disposable resource". Just wait for a market downturn, and you will see that I am right. The only answer to this is treat your employer as "disposable employment that you need to pay bills" > 3. never being promoted Being promoted is for fools. You get more money by job hopping into a higher salary every couple of years, more or less. > 4. often hired as contractors without same benefits as employees Never happened to me as a remote worker. But the daily rates for some contractors I know give me pause, and I wonder if I should pursue this instead.
