Stop Pretending Your Company is Remote
mycodingtales
The forced change to accommodate remote workflows also brought to light what I like to call “virtual offices”. Unlike truly remote friendly workplaces optimized for asynchronous communication, these aim to merely transport the office into a virtual space keeping the same unnecessary constraints of synchronous work intact, only replacing shoulder taps with Zoom calls. I’d love if we collectively agreed to start using a more appropriate name for these. They are office-less companies but they are not remote-friendly.
WFH – will I be outsourced?
dnndev | Hacker News
I once heard, if you can work from home you will be out sourced.
Is the WFH movement going to turn into a “they replaced with with cheaper labor from xyz?” Is this a be careful what you ask for situation?
What Your Younger Employees Are Really Thinking
Adrian J. Rivera, Patrick Healy | The New York Times
In the latest Times Opinion focus group, 12 millennial Americans — ages 26 to 33 — discussed how the pandemic had upended and shaped their young careers, not all of it bad.
Why video calls are bad for brainstorming
Shamini Bundell | Nature
According to new research one important skill is impacted by the restrictions of video calls: brainstorming ideas. But why is this task in particular negatively affected? And could other skills actually benefit from virtual communication?
Lessons learned from the recent job hunt
Jamie Tanna
I naturally wanted to blog about the processes, talk about how I felt the interview processes have improved/not been as good, and give folks a chance to learn from my experience, as well as be a chance for me to look back on this in the future.
Why do you waste so much time on the internet.
zanlog
Sometimes i wonder why do i waste so much of time on internet, not even doing productive work. Just refreshing yt feed and sometimes opening instagram. Its not like I enjoy them 10/10. So why do I do this?
“I believe strongly that more flexibility would have been the best policy for my team.”
It’s refreshing that remote work and balance are being embraced & is no longer considered out of the norm.
Remote work has spoiled me.
