here are my not especially controversial opinions about remote work it's good when the company culture and processes support it the company probably isn't set up for it if most people aren't remotePermalink Look on archive.org

what does it mean for the culture to support it? mainly, that decisions and discussions happen in a place where remote people can see them. if you're not constantly on calls with each other, that probably means a bunch of writing things down. probably a good thing anyway?Permalink Look on archive.org

that also means decisions and discussions that aren't directly relevant to the remote person's job. and a good proportion of the social chat! you can learn a lot on smoke breaks.Permalink Look on archive.org

the creative community I feel a part of is an international one. I want to work with all those people! I also want to live in a major city, and that's expensive. major disparities in salary based on where you live feel pretty unjust. idk.Permalink Look on archive.org

the financial side of remote is p messy. but also it's a bit messy that you have to pay for your own commute & for a load of other things necessary to work. but also, still: lots of people don't have a good work situation at home rn. :(Permalink Look on archive.org

If you are remote, it's good to have off-sites/all-hands/retreats once or twice a year, so people can hang out in person.Permalink Look on archive.org

Modern society is bad at giving people context and connections. Work is one way it still does do that. But that can be much less the case if you're remote. But in either case: people should actively work to be part of a community and make meaningful connections outside of work.Permalink Look on archive.org

technically, wfh means you have flexibility in when you work. but often that's not the case, because the day is still full of videocalls. but it does mean it's easier to do the laundry, and cook a nice lunch.Permalink Look on archive.org

the best thing I did when I was working remotely a few years ago was set myself the rule: if I'm not working by 10am, I should feel guilty. and if I'm working past 6pm, I should feel guilty. don't let work escape and smear itself over every hour of your day.Look on archive.org

anyway, I should probably get a newsletter of something.Permalink Look on archive.org
