  I'm fat and short and awkward. On camera I come across, with my library in the background, as well educated, seasoned, sometimes even wise. In person I come across as fat and short and awkward. Since I have worked remotely full time (about 4 years) I have gotten more raises, bonuses, and more advanced title bumps than I had accumulated previously in a 20 year career. There's less office politics when there's no office. There's less discrimination when we have greater control over our appearance online. For some of us we are finally flourishing WITHOUT the personal connection that has traditionally helped others thrive.
