That's not a remote worker.
Remote workers never go into the office. Anything else is a lie.
People who go into the office a little are Hybrids. If the boss calls that Remote, then the boss is a dink.
I'm a remote worker. I'm supposed to go into the office on Thursdays to "collaborate". I don't. That's why I'm a remote worker.
Well I go for special occasions, when I'm not supposed to work a whole day. Thats not 1/week and not even 1/month, more like a several times per year. And I can skip that too if I wish.
This is what i do. I go in maybe 2 times a year when its basically just a "party" at the office. I love an hour away though so I usually show up around noon and leave at 3.
It is nice to see some of the people I don't talk to on any other day of the year. Plus they have cats there.
