title: Is the remote work ”immoral” or the commute?

Once you master the location of your work, you will realize it is not about the space, but the time.

| View in browser Remote work may be ”immoral”\*, but so is stealing people’s time   I remember some of my old work experiences in pre-pandemic times, when I was a junior proud to have my own cubicle and a plastic access card.   Depending where I was living in the city at that moment, I would spend almost an hour getting from home to the office. An hour going, an hour returning. Every single day, for years, never questioning if this has any logic or sense. At a new corporate job, on the very first day, my manager called me perplexed because I had finished my work and left the office at 6PM, without asking permission.   I think many of us have memories like this and the perspective of returning to this nonsense where you have to be physically present in the same fixed spot every day is simply dreadful.   True, not everybody can work from home or from flexible spaces.   Not everybody has the same profession. Or the same background. Or the same expectations.    But all of us have choices. There is the choice to do a certain job, the choice of an employer or an industry or the type of laptop you want to use. So why not choose the place you want to work from, be it your home or a coworking or another town?   Once you master the location of your work, you will realize it is not about the space, but the time. Your time, the one resource that is finite and very precious.   \* ”immoral” according to Elon Musk Anca Șerban, Head of Marketing @Pluria & #WorkFromAnywhere enthusiast Pluria Raises $2M to help bring flexibility to more companies We have announced a $2 million investment round led by Eleven Ventures, one of Southeast Europe's most prominent early-stage venture capital firms.
