After experiencing the joys of remote work, some folks have decided they’ll never go back to cubicle life. And who can blame them? If you’re one of those office workers stuck in a cramped cube, why wouldn’t you prefer the comfort of your own home?

When it comes to working from home, employees can have different views. Some find that they can focus much better, get more things done, and save time during the day when they don't have to commute.

The job market is not easy these days, ask anybody looking for a job right now. It's no walk in the park. One guy had a comfortable job that paid him a pretty good salary of $78k—however, it wasn't work-from-home and he was getting bored. Then, out of nowhere, he got a job offer from a “fully remote” company that offered him full benefits and a $90k salary. Who would turn that upgrade down, right? He turned to Reddit asking if he should make the change, and every wholeheartedly agreed . So, he…

I'm all about that sedentary lifestyle, baby

A good rule of thumb if you know you're eventually going to quit your job: keep a list of all the so-called "questionable" moments.

Working from home has changed the way that businesses operate, but micromanagers everywhere are rolling in their graves over the fact that they can no longer survey their employees like they used to.
