You are perhaps an exception.
And so bravo for you.
But the majority of remote workers are just remote paycheck collectors.
Perhaps if they paid people by the job it would work out better.
Don't care how long you worked, you get paid when the project is done and approved.
Of course then people would scream, and probably with justification, that they not being paid because the company was holding up approval so as not to pay them and companies would scream, and probably with justification, that a project is not "done" unless it is not likely to kill it's users.
Yup. Incorrect.
You are perhaps an exception.
Then my entire team of 10 people is an exception.
“But the majority of remote workers are just remote paycheck collectors.”
And you know this how? That’s a very strong universal opinion. Is it based on real world experience or the usual Freeper opinion that judges everyone and everything harshly?
My wife has worked middle of the night health care for five years now. She takes calls, routes nurses, consults doctors, and talks to patients. When lazy people don’t take calls or take too long a breaks, they are consulted by a supervisor. They have fired some of them.
There are productivity guidelines that the company insists on. Every call is recorded and can be accessed by supervisors. If the company isn’t making money, they tell their workers the department will close.
Here is a phenomenon I am seeing with a friend of mine. He is in IT like me and he says working from home is much more efficient so much more that he actually has two full time jobs and neither employer knows about the other. He works hard and it can be difficult but he needs the money for divorce.
