using people who can work remotely. Remote work might just be the wave of the future, saving companies a fortune on office space and allowing their workers to live in affordable areas far away from the bosses and without being exhausted by lengthy commutes. It would reduce global warming as well as increase employee satisfaction and productivity.

Sadly, the bosses want people around so they can be bossed.

Most of my neighbors worked remotely during the worst of Covid and they all loved it.
