Hello Everyone.
I recently felt bombarded by one of the higher-ups from this “remote-based” company. They thought that the timezone difference was impacting their workflow and deadlines. The company primarily hires people from their region, as I have noticed lately. They also did not state that there could be tax and legal implications when their contractors work outside of their country. What is the whole point of remote work if they can’t support it?

That's weird. If they hired you remotely, knowing what your location was, I think this is kind of ridiculous. Unless they specified that you were supposed to work in their time zone, this sounds like nonsense.

Yeah that sounds about right.

I told them that there are a lot of tools to sync our work and that they should set limits about “remote” working because that seems like a bait so they can hire top talents.
