I feel like there's the group of remote workers in tech who work remotely in large part because they're disabled, and then there's everyone else

and when hot takes about remote work take off from the latter group, it actually just drives me up a wall

difficult to relate to people who's criticize "bad remote work" as involving a lot of zoom calls

I don't enjoy wall-to-wall zoom calls, but I have friends and coworkers who can't leave their homes and appreciate them

you not liking something doesn't mean it's garbage

remote work can mean working async!

it can also mean working from home with overlapping hours

trust and autonomy are about giving people what they need to get work done and not forcing them into ineffective processes they hate

that means different things for different contexts

anyway: will be pleased if more jobs hire remotely beyond COVID-19

even if they make people do regular zoom calls

and they make you log into slack at certain hours

and they make you give constant status updates

is it better than office work? for a lot of people, YES!!!
