> And investigative reporters are not only completely within their right to cultivate and use such leaks, I'd say they're obligated to do it! So it's only right and fair that when this is turned at Basecamp, at least when evaluating the reporting, we take it on the chin.
True, but companies will then learn a lesson the hard way. They will see unhappy employees leaving their company, figure there's a problem due to discrimination in compensation and then try to fix it.
But didn't the remote employees feel discriminated? It might become a real problem if there 2 people in the exact same role, one working remotely & the other in office.
Yes, some of them did. But I always explained these reasons openly and told remote people if they wanted to come into the office, they would make more.
We have been working on Remote Tools for over a couple of years, trying to speed the growth of remote working.
However, we still felt there was something missing. Current communities around remote work only focus on jobs in the form of job boards. They miss the basic human need - to interact.
We built The Remote Clan, a community for remote workers to build a strong career with the help of those who are pursuing the same goals.
I have always felt that self-care is often misunderstood, ignored and even misused. The question isn't 'Do you take of yourself?' rather it is 'In what ways do you take care of yourself?'. I use a lot of self-care apps myself including Calm for meditation, WaterMinder to remind me to drink water or Reboot for taking breaks. So thought, why not create a mini directory of such apps with a short review on each.
Remote work is invigorating, tough and undoubtedly, the present & future of work! We took it upon us to bring forward personal stories & experiences of successful remote workers - motivation, transition, challenges, likes/ dislikes & their overall journey.
It surely takes some balls to say this.
