   @mapcar @nic @davidgerard unless it's a position that requires physical on-site work like installations on a construction site, I think employers should be incentivized on their own to allow as mich remote work as technically possible, as this reduced needed floorspace and allows the few people that can't work remotely (i.e. sue to shitty internet, having loud work done outside or inside, having small children that don't understand work) to come in.

     @nic @kkarhan @davidgerard To be fair, this remote thing is oretty complicated, saw this in a job ad last year (ok, it probably is something boring like a typo).

     @kkarhan @davidgerard In the interview they hinted at flexibility, but once I started they insisted on six months of pointless commuting

     @nic @davidgerard I would've refused to even apply!

     I do 100% remote nowadays...

     @davidgerard The last office job I had (briefly) required me to drive 64 miles a day to fiddle with a database on the internet. They even had an office I could’ve walked to near my village, but “the IT dept is in Aberystwyth”. I lasted 5 weeks.
