A lot of companies still see remote work as a hindrance rather than an as opportunity. I know these kind of talks, and sometimes just getting a day or two within a month can be a challenge.
At best they do want people to speak face to face, at worst they assume you are just slacking off as long as they cannot watch your monitor. -

@py2js Wait until you realize that there are jobs that are entirely remote, no office attendance needed.

@k0pernikus 100% correct

@k0pernikus
Where the fuck are these jobs? And please can you tell my wife about them!
She believes that you can only work from home if you "work for yourself" -
@py2js
They were proverbially "coming to the party" -

Remote work in South Africa seems to be a faux pas, and almost seems frowned upon -
@GinjaNinja one source of finding these: https://stackoverflow.com/jobs/...
So, I put forward to the recruiter that my T&Cs are that I would like to work from home for a minimum of 3 days per week due to the travel time and traffic involved, and that the recruiter should put that forward to their client.
The recruiter received this in response...
"We would be open to looking at flexitime. In terms of days at the office, we would be need him to come to the office three to four days a week as communication is challenging when we have people working from home."
Have they never heard of Slack or Skype... or the Internet? Or am I missing something?
