    I never felt like I fit in in a traditional 9-5 job and have loved the transition to being a remote worker. I now run Hacker Paradise, a community of traveling remote workers, and love being able to collaborate with a great community of remote workers every day. I have no regrets leaving corporate America to join the remote workforce.

    I've been working remotely as a UI designer for the last six years for several tech/software companies around the world. It's harder to find remote roles in the UK though, but many London based tech companies do offer part remote as a benefit, which makes me laugh because it's to their benefit too. Trust is the big thing though and if you love the work you do, then you'll always get the work done!!

    I'm a construction project manager that when we had a hot job to estimate, I would take it home and knock it out from home over a weekend, effectively teaching my employer that my best, most productive work takes place with me working at home. Then I just did that more and more until I only came in to the office for required meetings and all of my work was done from home and my employer was never even asked. lol

    For me it's soooo much harder to focus working from home. I'm ok if I have something I absolutely NEED to get done that day but otherwise I'll take ridiculously long breaks and work inefficiently.
    My job requires a time sheet so I end up working like 10-11 hours of work to fill out 8 hours of time sheet. If it's slow and it's more like be "on call" from 9-5 then WFH is easier to stomach.
    I know someone will say I could focus if I really tried but why make things harder than they need to be.

    Majority of companies these days are shifting away from remote workers for employees and only allowing their task workers to do so. Because they know that remote workers rend to goof around and hard to reach. So they rather make sure they show up and are easy to reach. The most annoying thing is when we have a meeting with 10+ people, there always some idiots that work remotely can't get their damn mics to work.
