I have been working full-time remotely from home since 2012 and part-time since 2006.

I wrote about how I separate work and home lives almost three years ago deep in the pandemic days when people were asking me about it here:

@SusanPotter I think I'd reply "I assume this promotion to a hybrid work position comes with a 35% payrise to cover the 12-15 hours travel time per week, and a company car or equivalent allowance? if you can draw the contract up I'll review it later this week"

@gsuberland @SusanPotter Never in hell does 35% payment increase make up for losing 15 hours a week to stupid car time

gsuberland, 10 months ago

@Profpatsch @SusanPotter it wasn't qualitative; I calculated (40+12)/40 and rounded up to the nearest 5%.

@gsuberland @SusanPotter
Yeah, but car hours are just waste of energy and life time, unless you see your proper work the same way they should incur a steep premium compared to normal salaried hours imo.

gsuberland, 10 months ago

@Profpatsch @SusanPotter hence why I said it wasn't qualitative.

gsuberland, 10 months ago

@Profpatsch @SusanPotter and if the response to a linear scaling of salary to extra hours is scoffed at, you already know what their response would be to a more qualitative adjustment.

@gsuberland If not, sounds like constructive termination to me. I wonder if there's a work contract with severance in it.

@SusanPotter the hell is this nonsense. Sigh. I wonder how many companies are going to lose good people with this idiocy...

@darwinwoodka @SusanPotter right? This is how you make a labor union happen…..

@kentbrew @darwinwoodka @SusanPotter Finally, it's long overdue to have them in IT & software too.

@SusanPotter Seriously, WTF?

Last time a fmr. employer of mine flexed their #EscalatingCommitment to an overpriced office space, 75% of the #Linux team (including myself) left.

Pretty shure with your skillset recruiters at #HAYS & #roberthalf want to instantly offer you an exclusivity deal...

@SusanPotter oh dear god we do, but you'd probably expect to be paid as well.
