I also work in IT. I’ve been remote since 2009. Got laid off in June 2022, and didn’t even consider a job that required me to go on site. Took just over 3 months to find another position, 100% remote. I’ll never commute to work again, unless you count walking to my desk in the other room as “commuting”.
Yes i am in it. Most jobs before covid were not remote. Seems like most of them are now remote.
I dont like working from home. I guess i am an outlier. Too many distractions at home and then i would no longer enjoy the food the women bring in. My workplace is the best. Never had it so good.
I would much rather be in the office where I can engage my workers and clients in a more professional setting. I'm sick of ZOOM calls with co-workers wearing shirts and sports jackets from the waist up and cargo shorts and sandals from the waist down. Also backgrounds of their dining rooms and the noise of barking dogs, shouting children, etc. Would much rather grab some coffee at the office with them and hash things out in person.
Maybe I'm just old school. I'm a Baby Boomer just a few years from retirement so what do I know.
I’m also in IT. Was hired as a remote worker so I hope I am never asked.
