Remote sucks. You are always on the clock. It starts at 6:30AM and ends at 6PM. I’m glad I am retiring.
Most of our employees that can retire say they won’t go back in.
“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?
Before I retired, I could have done much of my work remotely, but certainly not all of it. I never fell into that trap, though, as I saw that people working from home were expected to be available well outside normal hours, as you point out. For me, it was always work is work, home is home, and don’t mix the two. If I had to do something in the evening or on a weekend (happened fairly often), I’d go in and do it.
