Comment on The CEO of Dropbox has a 90/10 rule for remote work

Eugh. Makes me so glad I’m working at a professional company and not one of those tech bro firms. We have an annual conference you can attend either in person or remotely, and it spans like two days. Doing some random corporate BS four weeks of the year just so your CEO can pretend to be some sort of popstar sounds abysmal to me.

    this is quite funny considering we’re discussing remote work… why should your location matters in this case?

    Employees usually have to be a tax resident in the country they are working for in Europe. Depending on the country you can go as a contractor. That can also be tricky as some countries have rules against freelance contractors only working for one client - to get around companies having employees but not registering them as employees and giving them full employment rights and benefits.

    Poorly worded by me, location doesn’t matter much, but language does. We work a lot with clients that operate in Swedish, and most of our internal communication is in Swedish as well.
    
    Location matters a little in the sense that we still have working hours. These are somewhat flexible depending on which contract you’re working on though. But if you’re far enough away you might en up working nights or something like that.
    
    That might also make you less likely to get the job due to extra compensation for work during nights etc.
    
    I dunno, I’m just a developer.

i totally agree with the sentiment. my last job was a “tech bro firm”. that entire attitude and working environment is stacked in favor of extroverts. as an introvert, that shit is extremely difficult and frustrating.
