    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Wait until your company wants to outsource support abroad, see what your clients have to say about that when they realize so many of those people work from home.

        How long before many companies want to camera up the work at home folks?

          Depends on the job. I haven’t thought about it that much but how do you feel about all your personal info being available on screen at a person’s home?

          I don’t have the answers but there are legit issues to consider.

            Pffft that's already happened. Another reason why I quit my last job.

            Please love yourself.

              I do. I'm a damn sage.

              To the extent possible, measure deliverables, not time.

              Please love yourself.

                So what happens when productivity falls?

                  What happens when productivity falls under normal circumstances?

                  It's so funny to me that the default position here is that remote work doesn't work when around 2010 an entire economy was created from it. And by the way, it's the standard model in my industry and has only grown more popular in the past decade: for one-off and sustained projects alike, you hire out remotely to get the work done. Sometimes teaming up with in-house people, sometimes with a fully remote team.

                  It doesn't work for everything, but cherry-picking news stories to somehow prove the entire model is faulty is ridiculous. Only people who have no experience with it would actually give that a go.

                  Please love yourself.

                    Remote working is working for us. Really well, as it happens. I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought I would, but from a business perspective, no problems at all.

                    YMMV, obviously.

                    I was only joking
