When I started working, I was never required to go in to SSI’s offices to do any billing. I gave out my own personal number, had customers call me, and I used their billing system.
This was because SSI was not technically ny company but my father’s company. He knew I needed technology that I could install on the office computer, but it was better for me to work from home.
When I did volunteering at various places through the years, I realized how unproductive I was. I had to wait for people to give me the labels to label products as an example. Or I had to sit all day while others were delbt with and there was nothing for me to do.
As a tech person, yes, I’ve got my issues with talking to people, but if you have a genuine question, I’ll give you the time.
I don’t necessarily like meetings just to have them, but as I’ve seen with L.A. Metro, we learn things and can report back to our group we belong to. That’s why I go to those meetings.
But I come from a childhood where I basicly worked young, beta testing software for companies across the country, although not paid. I prefer working from home, and in one interview, I said my equipment is at home, but if I needed to go in, I’d be there.
I never got hired.
This is definitely a very interesting opinion piece that came across Tech Crunch. Working from home isn’t going away, even if some CEOs wish it would | TechCrunch is a very interesting article.
I really think that remote work can help people like you the reader and I the tech. Yes, we can work on our schedule, but we also have our own equipment at home where you don’t need to pay for software that could help us do the job.
We in this community, no matter our strengths, can do well because we have our stuff. What do you think of this article? I’d be curious.
