Remote Workers Deserve More
Heating, Lighting, and Internet are the bare minimum!
Although the current establishment is fanatically obsessed with denying its opposing players in the grand game of software engineering anything to do with remote working, theirs is, at least in the long term, an inevitable losing strategy.
We’ve touched on, many times, how the Dickensian era of workplace surveillance is over, middle-managers are being jettisoned as the company boat sheds dead weight, and most importantly how people generally are much happier and more productive working in the way that they want to work.
We’ve also touched on the ludicrous amount of unpaid effective overtime time wasted on commuting — something previous endured by generations of employees and just accepted as a ‘price to pay’ for actually having a job.
That time is over.
Positional Advantage
Of course, some people can’t work from home — at least all of the time — as their roles need a physical presence somewhere but, here in the grand game, most of our roles can be done from anywhere whether it’s at home, up a coconut tree, but definitely not on a beach as we’re (quite often) physically distance people. Ahem.
To that end a company employing remote workers will be saving some money no matter how…
