Working Remote

For the last 3 years

I'm exempt because I'm more than 50 miles away. Several of my team members are not. A one size fits all policy like that statewide is bound to fail and have exemptions. Especially with Epic folks who can find another remote job in a heartbeat.

I work with MUSC. A guy there is the co-lead of the Columbia-centered grant we lost and then got restored.

[Mik]

Who is that? I work with the research team.

[Mik]

Must be Strange. I have not met him.

[jon-nyc]

Yep. He’s here in London with me (I assume haven’t seen him just yet) and was in DC with me last month. I see him and his staff every Monday on a call.

[Mik]

Do you know Diaz, Lennert, Graboye or Obeid?

[jon-nyc]

Nope. Charlie is the guy I deal with.

In December I’ll be down there for a patient education day.

I've worked remote off and on for 40 years.

I think this is the key. I think remote working REALLY hurts people starting out or still quite early in their careers.

I was quite early when I started. The key is to be reachable and responsive. If you don’t hear back from me within a day you can be sure I’m in jail, hospital or lying in a ditch somewhere.
