Remote work: the future. Flexibility to work anywhere, anytime? No brainer. Life’s too short to be stuck in a cramped office with a long commute. But, remember to set boundaries when working from home. It’s easy to blur the lines and end up working longer hours. Be strict with your time. Know when to switch off. #RemoteWork #WorkLifeBalance #Productivity

10 days ago, I woke up to every remote worker's nightmare - the absence of that comforting internet light on my router. At that moment, I realised that life had a curveball to throw, leading me on a whirlwind journey from the comforts of remote work to office work with a click of the fingers. While initially, it was a sudden shift, there are positives and negative. Pros of full-time office work ·        Seeing different people every day ·        When you need help/ have a question, and the person is in the office, you get this sorted in 5 minutes instead of 5 hours. ·        More productive as they don’t have those distractions from home. ·        When I leave work, that is the end of the day. Cons ·        Commute, which adds extra time to my day ·        Less flexibility- I enjoy exercising at lunchtime, which is hard working in an office. ·        More expensive, as lack of planning means I have become concerned about the meal deal (Sainsbury's, for me, beats anywhere else.) Over this period, I read articles suggesting that 50%+ would start looking for another job if told to come into the office. More or 50% plus from a Good Morning Britain survey would turn down a 15% pay rise to give up working from home. So, the last 10 days have taught me that I will visit an office more than I have been. But the key things that it taught me were i need a clear stopping point when working from home and what is important for me when its time to make my next move. #remotework #officework

Is this what regret looks like? Possibly. More importantly, is this why remote work is so important? 💯 How does a dog and remote work correlate you might be wondering - let me explain... Our lab, Belle, decided last night she was going to partake in the family dinner festivities and stole a piece of corn of cob after dinner. 😑 If you know anything about Labs you know they 💓 💓 💓 food! So, what do you do when this happens? You pack her up and travel 50 mins away to the nearest 24 hour vet to get her checked out. After waiting an hour and half and a $350 bill later 😯 - she was all ready to go home. So, pulling in the garage last night at 2:45am made me realize that remote work is so important because of the flexibility that comes with it. Most likely, if I had to commute into an office today I would be tired and miserable. However, this morning - I made some coffee, grabbed my phone and sat down at my computer and got to work ✅ So, when we have companies debating about bringing their people back into office 5 days a week or not offering remote/hybrid options at all - my feedback is always lets rethink that for a moment. 🤔 Oh and by the way - not an ounce of shame or regret from our girl, Belle - I know she will try it again...but we will be quicker next time! 😉 #dogs #labs #working #staffingandrecruitment #lifehappens #coffee #remotework #remote #hybrid #remoteculture #clients

THE EVOLUTION OF WORK FROM HOME: 2020 👇 "Your health and safety are our number one priority. So, given all that's happening in the world, we've decided to go fully remote, which means you can expense whatever you need to be productive while working from home." 2021 👇 "It has become abundantly clear that remote work is working. This is the most productive we've ever been, so we are happy to announce that we are officially rolling out the 'Work from Anywhere' policy. The world is changing. We're going to keep changing with it." 2022 👇 "We didn't mean you can work from the Mediterranean, or Caribbean, or some remote beach anywhere. There are rules, OK? So, moving forward, we are transitioning into a hybrid model. That means, depending on your function, you are expected and required to be in the office one to three times per week." 2023 👇 "Did you guys really think Work from Home is going to last forever? If you did, then I seriously question your judgement. We just renewed the lease on a beautiful office space. It's going to be great. See you there!"

There's a common misconception that remote workers are constantly on vacation. I typically address this in two ways: 1. My workdays frequently span 14 hours or more. 2. I derive genuine enjoyment from my work, so it often feels more like a creative pursuit than a tedious obligation. Sometimes, a simple change of scenery from the desk to the couch can provide a sense of respite. Don't confine yourself to a single workspace. #remotework #digitalnomad #sundayvibes

Friday Poll! 🔔 Believe it or not, some industries don't believe remote work is here to stay. What is your preference? 🗳️ Each has its perks, but if we went away with the hybrid option. What would you choose? Are our homes becoming too much of a workspace or do you dislike the commute to work and feel you operate better at home? 🤔 Remote Only? Office Only? #iGaming #EyespyRecruitment #RemoteWork #OfficeWork

Remote working is not about working from home for me. It's about avoiding having to commute. For me, that is such a huge time waster! Consider that you commute for one hour one way, door to door. That is two hours a day, or a fourth of your work day. I cannot use those hours for anything useful other than looking at the cows outside the window due to motion sickness. Which company would think it is OK to waste two productive hours everyday? I cannot think of any! By the same coin, why should I waste my precious time that I can never get back? It's not like the code I write magically becomes better in some way if it was written at the office... I'd rather use that time with my family or do something enjoyable and productive. I'd wish more companies went for remote-first positions. Instead many seem to bet that enough competence is within commuting distance from their office. #remoteworkinglife #computerscience
