Remote working is here to stay

[1happiness]

I recently started a new job. The company is relatively new and growing fast. We all work remotely and just get together once a month for a face to face meeting. They've completely embraced the fact that remote working is the future. The job I do now is as a business development manager and I couldn't be happier. I've been able to carry on following a career I love instead of finding something purely to fit in around being a mum, WITHOUT sacrifice or feeling guilty. The world is changing. I think smaller, newer companies have the advantage of not being stuck in routine and expensive office space contracts so they have to force staff in. Remote working is here to stay which is great for us mums. Interested to hear if others have struggled or have success stories. 😊

My role is in finance and I've only been in the office once in 3 months now. Whilst I miss being in the city, I can do the drop off and pick ups (I'm a single parent) and work later after the children go to sleep. It's a godsend really. I know quite a few single parents who feel the same whereas I know single people with no kids or coupled up sorts who don't enjoy it.

You know those big inner city buildings that people worked in, the really valuable real-estate... they are generally invested in by pension funds... what happens when they are all dumped... (it will not be good!)

all those coffee shops, those one stop mini marts, fast food, small cafes, restaurants near those big buildings... no more big business... no more small...

public transport relies on the rush hour to subsidise the other services in the daytime, no rush hour and services get cut, and cut...

Just the first few disadvantages of the top of my head and that first one is a real biggie!

And in addition gas prices are rocketing... so homeworkers can sit home alone... in the cold...
