Remote-Remote Control

Does back to work mean back to the office? For some, it does not. And will not. For our peaceful Contributing Editor, Mr. Kurt Huber, he has a clear direction and conviction of how he wants to play the game.

We are living in the age of post post-COVID and it can be challenging to find remote job opportunities for those of us who are accustomed to living this workstyle lifestyle. Many of these jobs went away last year, as many employers issued work return office mandates, but it looks like 2024 will be a strong year for remote job opportunities, as the work world has changed and is accustomed to the demand for remote jobs that benefits both the employers and the employees: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/12/21/remote-work-from-home-trends-2024/71991203007/.

Remote work requires you to be at your desk, ready to Skype or join Teams or Zoom instantly. Deadlines and metrics measure the amount of work you’re doing —in addition to screen sharing, conversations and chats — there is a need for constant proofs required throughout the day. Working remotely saves gas (and electricity, if you drive an electric car), and greatly reduces car value depression with the mileage savings, and it saves you money on car insurance, because it reduces the chance of collision damage —such as hail, hitting animals, getting stuck and running in the ditch during the Midwestern winter months.

Working remotely will offer the flexibility to do occasional or part time work when I do finally retire.Retirement was a beautiful thought for a moment.

Now, back to work!
