Damn, quite the post!
heh, thanks! I can't believe after typing it all out today I still feel like I've left so much unsaid. There's just so much to talk about on the subject! I'm sure I missed important details too.
I read everything I promised.
I'm even happier because I almost gave up because of the length of the text.
Quite interesting. A lot of experience comes when you're read.
I never really had a job in a company, I started as a freelancer (in a transcription company, i.e. far from programming), it wasn't bad, I never had problems with colleagues and group spirit because we were all freelance and the work was individual, we'll say, you received your pile of work and then you delivered the feedback.The most important element as you said was the communication and the hope that no one would change team leader.this situation happened to me and the new manager wasn't as friendly at last...friendly as the old one which created a lot of stress during work.when you knew she was going to give feedback you could literally pee on you.today the point I would say is that it is the hardest for me to know how to organize my days and the social bond.
But if not in the globality I love to be remote because the companies where I did a week in-house was definitely very boring and in an African context... it is necessary to note at me particularly a certain laziness of the employees often... And as I do not like to be paid to do nothing... either I asked to work remotely or I left.
Great article and great interesting.Congrats
Great read, Kevin!
I've been seriously considering writing up a white paper for the leadership in my organization discussing exactly this. I work at a University and we already have a better-than-average infrastructure in place for this sort of work... cisco system allows us to forward our office lines to our cell so we can answer the phone as if we're in the office, VPN is set up, remote desktop already configured, etc... we just don't USE IT unless it's absolutely necessary - which is asinine to me.
This offer quite a few good points to consider. I've been pondering advocating the old "results-oriented" approach - figuring out real data-driven metrics that would determine the success or failure of someone opting to try remote work. That way we'd know who's cut out for this sort of work (everyone THINKS they are, but in reality not everyone can function on their own) and who needs to be subject to the old "butts in seat" method.
Thank you for an engaging article -and giving me the final push to get rolling!
Wth, it's just the bible of the remote working. I relate so many things on the post and I can see you really had lots of thoughts on remote working. Sending lots of 👏

Very well thought post. The point about having a real room with a real door is the most essential thing to having a good remote working setup. Just can't be stressed enough.
