I have two offers (one for remote and the other in-office) and can’t decide if remote is actually better. I don't know if trading my commute for a lifestyle where I'm constantly checking emails because I'm home is worth it. If pay isn't a factor, which would you choose?

You serious? Remote is a million times better. If you don't take the offer, send it my way 😂

I don't understand. Are you not checking your emails while you're working in the office?

I was in this same position three months ago and I picked in office but I had been remote for eight years prior. I hate traffic but I enjoy having people around me again and yes I was always hesitant to be on the chopping block when everything was turning back to in office because I was fully remote in a different state. So for my peace of mind, I’m back in office and somewhat happy about it… lol… I at least got a hybrid position so it’s not as bad!

The only issue I see with accepting remote right now is that it might be rolled back. If the company is fully remote first, that’s different. However, it’s just something to keep in mind. RTO has been happening frequently, and I see that for many people, it didn’t matter what they were initially hired for.

Personally, I'm so much more productive working from home. If you're the type of person that constantly checks their email because they're office is there and computer is on, it takes discipline to follow a work schedule (sign-off and shut down for the night at the end of your working day).

Take the one that pays more. Remote, or in office we are all expendable to the higher ups.

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
