Get off the couch- find a table or desk to sit at that isn't where you normally relax. Put your blinders on. Do whatever you did to help you study in college or grad school. Lots of potential distractions at home, but once I get working, I'm so much more productive with no one else around.

Sit at a table and just focus. Don't stand up to do home errands or don't even turn on tv. Use lunch time as a break where you can eat/watch tv/couch, then back to focused work. Do not work from bed or the couch.

A1 is spot on. I've been WFH for almost six months and I damn near went insane until I learned you basically have to treat it like you're in the office. Full office sched routine: wake up early enough to be working by 8, PUT ON PANTS, no chores around the house or what have you - unless you're doing it over lunch. Make a point to go to a coffee shop even for just a bit in between calls.

I’m struggling at the moment to gauge how much I should be getting paid in my position as i feel I’m heavily underpaid for the work I do, which includes managing digital marketing operations across 12+ countries, manage the studio/creatives plus lead on any campaigns and strategies, etc. I’m also remote UK-based although my company is international. So what do you feel a fair UK wage would be for the role? I love my job/team but the stress isn’t worth it for me atm. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone - I made it to the final round of interviews with Amazon for a Program Manager position. They initially asked if I would relocate and at the time I said yes - however, due to my husband’s new job I’m no longer able to relocate.

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either. Then you get an interview and they tell you it’s remote/hybrid(1-2-3days, take your pick)/on-site. So, if you work at TD, Scotia, RBC, could you let everybody know in the comments what’s the deal for each? Are you remote, on-site, hybrid of some sort?

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
