Guten Morgen. Frisch ans Werk, die Woche wartet nicht!
#Homeoffice #DeskSetup #wfh
This morning I read a threads post from an individual in my field – who is somewhat a big deal – that remote or #WFH "is not real work" and my respect for them professionally hit the floor with an almighty thud.
Interesting piece - pointing out that workers save money with WFH, but also that they're setting up work/life boundaries and companies don’t like that.

Working from home is obviously something we should keep going and improve. The bourgeoisie trying to herd people back into the office is evidence of that.
But without an increase in 'Third Space' infrastructure in local environments, then we risk ramping up loneliness, and further crumbling of the social fabric.
The office, for all it's faults, did have a semblance of important community-building aspects which isn't replicated with working from home.

Shame to see Unity and Weta splitting up, but this is a nice upside from a bad situation "Unity will no longer mandate that employees work from offices three a days a week".
When looking to become a leaner more efficient company, WFH wins every time.

Leaving home for an in-person day at the office, first time in months. Realizing on the train I probably should have shaved.

I moved my entire network out of a cavity behind my fireplace and down into the crawl space on a permanent 12U rack. I have a UDM Pro on order to replace my decade old USG-4-Pro. The only thing lacking from the setup is battery backup, which I could do if I had a better inverter on my battery box. But enjoy the sexy networking goodness. #ubiquiti #homenetworking #wfh

So confused. It wasn't all that long ago that #Conservative ministers were complaining that no-one should #WorkFromHome (probably because it reduced commercial property revenue in urban areas)
'People with mobility and mental health problems will be asked to work from home or lose benefits as part of what a UK government minister described today as doing “their duty”.'

#UK #politics #Conservatives #Tories #WFH #employment #benefits
The #UK #Government is so disconnected from real-life that they aren't even aware that #WFH doesn't necessarily mean you work AT home. Even if you can find a #job you're qualified for, many #workfromhome #jobs require going out to #clients or some type of #travel. Even #online jobs often require some time in the #office or similar. It really does feel like this #country is now doomed.
People with #mobility and #mentalhealth condiitions should be #working from home or lose #benefits under new #UK #policy. The #ToriesUnfitToGovern have no idea about #disability. They drop to a new low everyday. People who are able to #work would #wfh if suitable #jobs were available. Many of these jobs require #travel or some days in the #office, all day on a #phone & most require specific #qualifications & #experience. There really isn't a magic #job tree. #disabled

Sinister moves in the #uk. The way it's going here is a race to the bottom of #humanity. #Working from home #(WFH) #jobs are next to impossible to get. It's difficult to find good #WFH to apply for, especially without exisiting #skills & #experience. This is a new #nightmare for people with #disabilities. #disabled #benefits #DWP https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/nov/21/disabled-people-work-from-home-laura-trott-benefits
One of the weird thing about #WFH, psychologically, is that spending all day inside my apartment staring at my computer and only leaving when it's dark means I'm either extremely depressed or I've been extremely productive

I got mine in Hangzhou many many years ago, having spent a good few weeks coveting the obvious warmth enjoyed by all the people I saw wearing these out on errands.
I wear them all winter & they're still going strong! Every year I resist the urge to buy another set.
There are so many styles, and they are SO CUTE (in a Stay Puft kind of way).
Most go for ~£30 inc. shipping - some examples 👇

"In the ongoing, heated debate about the costs and benefits of #RemoteWork, a pivotal advantage often goes underappreciated. The ability to quickly transition a workforce to remote work when necessary provides firms with an important form of flexibility — akin to an insurance policy. And that sort of flexibility will only become more critical in a warming world, where #ExtremeWeather is (sadly) becoming more common."

For #wfh people out there, do you have indoor shoes or slippers you wear? I think I should probably start wearing some shoes inside just for arch support
Oh, boy. We're heading back from the #UbuntuSummit, but you don't need a transatlantic flight to get a transition ritual before you check that work inbox, or after you close it for the day. Take a walk, make some tea - just take a break from the e-mail! It might sound weird coming from us, but trust us on it. 😉 💙

So if people, who showed they could work remotely & profitably during pandemic lock-downs #WFH, are forced to return to the office #RTO, it's only to pay business landlords, keep retail spending up, and increase carbon emissions for commuting. Why is this even a debate? It's the #ClimateCrisis stupid
Trying to come up with a name for an index that measures the number of 9am meetings I attend in the shirt that I slept in.
Returning to the office isn't about productivity or building a culture. It's about employer power and maintaining the previous status quo - to the detriment of their own businesses.
Here are some thoughts about what they should be doing instead:
Any recs for the perfect ergonomic #wfh #homeoffice setup (mostly ux and product, but also writing. Mac OS, English keyboard layout). Also, I’m short 😭
I have a footrest but finding wrist alignment hard.
Do those rubber desk mats really make a difference to wrists?
It effectively extends my working day by ~2.5h due to commute, but it does feel good to socialize a bit in person with the people I work with, and that's even with my social anxiety... 😅
And while I consider myself a strong proponent of #wfh I can't deny that certain activities are more efficient and/or practical to do in an office. It's just not enough of that type of work to fill several days for a lot of professions (like for software developers!)
So I left the house for the first time this week to buy lunch. Crispy, bubbly, delicious wood fired pizza! Gotta save some for the wife and kid.
Worth it!

About 15 years ago, some of my social media friends were having a discussion about where to find the best croissant in Toronto. I laughed because in fact almost all the places they discussed buy from the same (inferior IMO) bakery and resell them. Being the only #WFH person in the group, I cheekily suggested that not only did Costco have better product, but you could get 18 for the price of 2 at a cafe. The response: crickets. Now the discussion is on how to fit 18 croissant in the freezer. 😆
It’s literally as if someone took the remnant sweat from every Wall Street hedge fund manager personal gym and crystalized it into a human.
Yes because it’s medium-wage family breadwinners wanting to spend more time with their kids who give off strong “decaying aristocracy” vibes and not the guy serially impregnating his own employees from atop a pile of cash.
First WFH day in the new apartment. Took a little digging through boxes early this morning to get the essential out and setup. But now I have a minimal #WFH setup to work with amongst the piles of unpacked boxes surrounding me.
For those of you who do the indie work thing - do you find #invoicing unpleasant and procrastinate?
I've been doing it off and on for two decades but still put it off too much.
You'd think the "give me money" part would be the most fun, and we'd jump at the chance to do it, but I'm always slow to get it done.
An FT report suggests that #workingfromhome & more #hybridworking has led to two key changes for firms supporting staff's desire to continue #WFH for some of the week.
1: they are making their #offices more flexible & welcoming, to encourage staff to use them for collaborative activities (not so well done #online);
2: they are migrating their offices to better connected more central locations to make travel in easier when it is needed.
The 2nd is the opposite direction that many expected!
I'm still updating my collection of remote companies, shout out if you know one that I don't have on my list!

"Two-thirds of CEOs think staff will #ReturnToOffice five days a week."
LOL, I bet they think staff work for the love of it too. "We're a family here", they say, as they lay off 1000 of your 'cousins' in another division.
Feeling very frustrated and defeated. I need #remote #wfh jobs and I've already started seeing two upsetting patterns:
1. Companies only want to let people work from home as a reward for good performance at the office
2. Companies who don't subscribe to the first pattern seem to think that they don't have to pay anyone working from home.
My #disability has become worse with #mobility and #pain since the car accident. So I need a remote job but one that pays enough for my expenses.
Workers who are #WFH can’t rely on their employers to be on top of #cybersecurity.
They’ve become the first line of defense against the dangers of the internet (but the good news is, they’re stepping up).

I had a large mole removed from my left foot by my dermatologist on Tuesday.
When she told me last week to come back for a biopsy, I thought she’d take some of it. She took the whole thing + thought I’d need 4-5 stitches. I replaced the bandage yesterday + there are *7* stitches! I’m squeamish so did not enjoy seeing it. It’s on the inside just above the heel so every step hurts.

For those that have been remote working within the past few years, what's our status on remote work? And what does your team/company do well to make it work?
Our company does high school "morning announcements" (officially called a briefing) every Friday.

So what exactly is it that so many #managers seem to fear about the rise of #workingfromhome?
I have two answers for you:
1. #WFH increases #workers autonomy, as they're not under constant potential surveillance & work to their own arrangement(s); Managers feel threatened by this avoidance of direct control;
2. data on WFH seems to indicate workers are happier when hybrid working than when in the office full-time; whatever, they say, managers prefer fearful workers who're easier to manage
