Men in the box.
Why do employers still fears of remote working in 2017?
I’m Web Developer. I was looking for new remote job lately. Here are my thoughts after multiple interviews with “modern” tech companies in 2017.
Me
- Is remote working possible?
Employer
- Absolutely No! We have SCRUM! We have daily standups!
My thougths
Please, it’s 2017, we have computers, internet, Skype, Slack, Google Hangouts… You know… for communication…
Employer
- We have academic environment, everybady shares his knowledge and experience…
My thoughts
OK, but internet comunities too. Many usefull open source tools were made by remote intercontinental communities.
Employer
- We have beautiful office, extremely good coffie, fresh fruits etc…
My thoughs
I’m not homless. I looking for job not for home.
Employer
- We have great, family atmosphere, not formal meetings, games and fun…
My thoughs
Nice, but I have friends and family.
The good relationships are also possible in remote teams.
