If I’m not mistaken, companies like Apple and Google aren’t commiting to remote. I mean, they’re the most innovative tech companies right? So, what gives?

I’ve worked remote for 12 years and occasionally go in house (in the office) for a project and I think you get better quality work in person in most cases. There are certainly some great remote teams but I find accountability much higher in person. Apple doesn’t innovate less because they want people in their offices three days a week.

Ok. Fair point.

They're no longer the most innovative companies. Big, yes, profitable, yes, but they have been riding the same barely changed cash cows for the past decade.

LOL. And exactly which trillion dollar company do you run?

Well considering Apple is at its heat a hardware company that pretty understandable. A lot of what Apple does is extremely sensitive and not something you want accessible from remote locations you cant control. Same applies to Google.

Apple and Google managed to become trillion dollar companies doing things the way they are. Im pretty sure they have a better grip on how to run a business than you do.

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job.

I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?

Does anyone have experience/knowledge regarding whether the different B4 deal analytics teams 1) work remote 2) still travel?

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
