    There’s a powerful note that echoes through every day. It is self-respect, setting a tone for how you treat yourself and how you expect others to treat you.

    If you stuff away who you really are, you’re sending a message to subserviate your needs. If you prioritize self-care, that self-regard will echo through the choices. One area will touch the next, like notes cascading to create a beautiful melody.

    Take a tiny step and let the symphony of your life begin.

      Sometimes it’s a tax legal thing…in my country, you need special paperwork for that and it’s an accounting nightmare..but if your country’s tax and per-diem policy allows for it…go nuts 😊 nothing is stopping you…

    😃Remote working is truly an opportunity to be with your family, have a better quality of life, etc., as long as employers don’t increase workloads simply because an employee doesn’t commute any more, then productivity will decrease and burnout will increase. You want the opposite! 👍

    A problem arises when those who remote work send their work they can’t do from home to those in the office!! When they can’t be bothered to come in.

    I’m 20 and terrified, I don’t want work to follow me home the way school does. I have enough trouble setting boundaries without the work following me home. The world we are building feels bleak and suffocating.

      Also, online school has been horrible in my experience. I signed up for “in person”; We have 30 people in a classroom typing on laptops and not speaking. The curriculum is online, we just sit in a room together and do online school.

      Government mandated lockdowns, plague, A.I stepping forward

      The world we’ve inherited is intimidating and confusing. I miss talking to real people 🙁

      Well I personally recommend that every first time employee avoids hybrid or remote for at least two years, to build up work ethics and personal guidelines. So your unease is perfectly fine and accepted 😊 I’ve been leading teams on remote/hybrid/distributed modes for 5 years now and as a leader I can tell you – it’s super difficult to not bring work home…I had times when the last thing before sleep was not kissing my wife goodnight, but checking my work mailbox…I hate that phase of my life…but I realized that it’s toxic and made that decision for myself…I set my boundaries and I set the expectations for my bosses (who at that time we’re on the other side of the planet so .. timezones) but I had to be the one to set these rules for myself, I had to communicate them clearly to bosses..and to my amazement, they all were fine with that…and then I realized…if I show I’m responsible enough to utilize my time the way I want and still deliver quality work…nobody really cares 😅. Yeah, there are a few old school managers who don’t get it…but it’s their loss, not mine 😊

Gaming gear company, Razer, is under scrutiny after falsely claiming their Zephyr face mask had an N95 grade. Why is a company mostly known for glowing keyboards making a high tech mask? And why are so many companies shipping out hardware that just doesn’t work and expecting people to pay? Hardware is hard, as we’ve seen with Humane’s Ai pin, Rabbit’s R1, and the Cybertruck’s faulty pedal.
