“Remote sucks. You are always on the clock. It starts at 6:30AM and ends at 6PM. I’m glad I am retiring.”
I don’t get it.
Turn off the phone and computer at the end of your work day, and you’re done.
Why does working remote make the job any more “always on the clock” than the job would have been otherwise?
Because people expect it. So if I put it off, it goes from something that I can fix in a few minutes and turns into a problem for my boss. If he punches out (which he has threatened to do), then I have to deal with these idiots because I’m old, I know all the stuff and my boss’s 2nd in command can’t write an email in English.
There’s a pension involved. Otherwise, I would literally walk across the street from the office and get a job making more money.
