Yes, you are.

Or rather, you are about 10% or so.

In most companies I work with, “remote work” is “No work”.

Our remote staff in corporate is pretty good at delegating all tasks and accomplishing nothing. Enough so that when two of them quit, we did not replace them and saw 0 loss. One was our EMS guy, who managed to do zero recordable work for SIX BLOODY MONTHS. I called him a few times, and there was always enough background noise that I knew he was out and about.

Locally, most of the layoffs with John Deere were remote workers. They were replaced by overseas workers or just eliminated.

Now there are great exceptions. Many IT people are very productive outside of an office. No politics, no personal interaction that can be negative. Work in their jammimes.

But for most people, remote work does not work.

Holy crap! We have become such a pathetic lot. Remote’s really not all that hard. You get up, get ready, get online, show up and do some work!

Holy crap, have we really degraded this much as human beings???

That's me!

Unacceptable.
