Wisdom Wednesday – “This was the future at one point. Let’s use all this cool tech we have to make people’s lives easier, more fulfilling, and safer.”

Two months ago, my fully remote job of 3 years began a campaign to bring all employees back to office. This confused me, as I was originally hired to be fully remote. I lost that status because we recently moved into a temporary apartment while we shop for our first home. 1/ — Jauwn (@Jauwnio) […]
