Since the lockdown, many companies allowed their employees to stay at home. Many of them even working while traveling. Are you one of them? And would it be something for you?

Personally it isn’t for me. I struggle enough with working from home, that disrupting that more would cause me to not get anything finished at all

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Same. I want to like working from home, but I get nothing done unless it's brain dead excel updating or something.

Too many distractions and temptations to not work.

But I personally know people who are more productive and happy to work from home.

Working from home and technically allowed from anywhere without informing my employer. I will never go back, best thing ever.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Same! I love the WFH model. No one bothers me, I get more work done, and I don't have to waste gas and time.

I'm one of them. My job is fully remote and I live in a van and travel much of the year. Currently my "office" is next to a river in the mountains.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I work from home usually, but being able to take my job with me to visit my parents for a week or so is great. Theoretically, I could also go on major trips while working, but I haven't don't that because it doesn't sound like much fun

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No, I'm in person pretty much all the time.

I work from home, and my employer allows up to six weeks from a different country, per country, per year. In theiry, as long as I kept moving every six weeks I could travel constantly.

In reality I have three children, so I get to travel about once a year.

I have been 100% remote since 2015. I don't usually work on the go as I like the separation but I can.
