The tech company blew up as one of the main means of communication for people forced to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I guess this could just as easily be posted in an anti-work community

        I know a lawyer in the Boston suburbs who went full WFH during the pandemic. He loved his job but was upset when his boss pushed for him to come back to the office. Boss said he lived too close to the office in Boston to justify it.

        Lawyer moved to Vermont with his girlfriend and still works fully remote for the same law office.

          I love it that the lawyer literally laywered his way out of having to return to the office.

      most have contingencies that if you are in the 50, then move out of the 50, that’s on you. You still gotta come in.

      see that little shack about 40 miles away, out town road 37, past the old faded barn and the tree that looks like homer simpson?..

      no. the other barn. the one on the edge of that huge dairy farm.

      yea. that’s the one. well, that shack is outhouse at your new office. the office itself is the smaller shack behind it.

      wifi? sure! at the adjacent on-site outdoor gym, there’s an old exercise bike hooked up to a generator to power it.
