I've been working completely online for a year and a half now and I prefer it this way. I'm honestly dreading having to go in-person at some point. Why would I want to have to wake up an hour earlier and put on my least-comfortable clothes to do the same thing I could do with an hour of extra sleep in my slippers?

Like I get that there IS value in going in-person sometimes, but every day? Absolutely not, especially when a significant portion of in-office time is spent pretending to be busy when there isn't anything pressing happening.

Been work from home for almost 2 years now. I could never go back to a normal office job knowing the freedom of working in my underwear 2 states away from where my desk was. Company loves it too since they don't have to pay the infrastructure costs for a giant building for all of us to fit in. If for some reason they forced us to go back, I'd find another job that was work from home, but thankfully that's not going to happen now that we've got so many people out of state and producing even more than when we were in the office.

If I could work 100% remotely for the rest of my life, I would. As someone with ADHD I work better in an environment I control. Now when planning where me and my partner live we only have to plan for one persons commute. I am more productive. 


It’s a dream

The company I work for did it for two years. Thousands of people did it successfully and more productively. However, everyone came back May 2022, and it hasn’t been the same. Now we’re fighting for a telework or hybrid model.

I've been doing it for a long time, even before the pandemic, and it does have its perks. But the perks can often spoil.

Don't have to get up early for the commute? Start sleeping in more and more until you're starting work two hours late (totally possible if there's no time tracking).

You can do your chores in the middle of the day but then there's no clear separation between work and not-work.

And in terms of work itself, there are some times when I really wished I could be physically present with my coworkers. I've had endless Slack and email threads over what in an office would have been a two minute chat.

Would be perfect. I work at a cotton mill as a Spinner and for the past 2 to 3 years it's been going downhill. less hours. weeks with no work which means less of a paycheck to no paycheck at all. I'm struggling and not to mention I work 3RD while everyone else i know works 1st shift jobs...  I would LOVE to work at home but seems impossible to find a job that allow me ro do that!

I've been working an overnight warehouse job for years and hated it. I found a job through searching work-from-home subreddits. I ended up finding a job that does Search Quality Ratings, and is very flexible. You can work up to 40 hours per week, but are only required to work at least 10 hours each week. You can log in whenever you want, and there's no real monitoring while on the clock. I tend to just log on for 5-8 hours a day and practice guitar while working :)

I really like having a 100% remote, online job. It's just convenient.

You might be surprised by how accessible 100% online jobs are now, and it will only increase in the future. In the software / tech sector there is an increasing amount of jobs that are completely detached from computer science / programming that are fully remote and online (think HR, management, business analysists, marketing), potentially due to the efficiency of having software developers and IT professionals work from home. It makes sense to expand within individual companies.

I have been working hybrid (both office and remote) in the past and I absolutely prefer remote. Less stressful and I can organize my work better. :)

Honestly, super important for me and my family right now. Being able to work online gives us that flexibility and a sense of security when so much is unpredictable. I think a lot of people are feeling that way too, whether it's for health, staying close to family, or just having more control over the workday. Plus, there are so many online gigs and platforms now—like Carentify https://carentify.com/ If you’re into renting out vehicles or similar side gigs—it feels like remote work is here to stay. How about you guys? Are you all aiming for more online work too?
