I recently took a 20% pay cut to move from a factory to a remote desk job. No regrets.
I ended up getting a pay raise, and out of the field by switching gigs. Now I just shitpost, and clatter away ona keyboard from my swivel-throne. It's great, and it's remote.
When people say "remote," is that the new code word for "working from home or wherever the hell I want to work, such as a swimming pool at a resort in Cabo San Lucas"?
Yes for white collar. Blue collar remote means you drive 100+ miles to different sites to service industrial shit. I used to be an application engineer/FSR for a water chemistry company, serving power plants. Other regions had steel mills and paper mills, and I'm glad I only ever went to one to pick up equipment and drive back to regional HQ.
I wish. My work computer is a 2 monitor PC setup so not a lot of ability to travel. But I can sometimes move to my parents house for a change of scenery.
¿Huh?
Just throw a laptop and a portable monitor into a backpack. I personally travel with 4.
The company gave me a stationary pc. Where am I supposed to get a laptop from?
Welp, you didnt mention it was a desktop PC. To answer your question, you can ask your employeer to issue you a laptop, or, if a policy allows it, set up the things you need for work on your personal one. Neither is particularly uncommon
sometimes, not always
I've found that people use "work from home" more often when they mean actual work. slightly more often. most people I know still use remote interchangeably for work from home.
