One thing these women didn’t mention is that when you work remote you deal with less micro aggressions form THEM! I’m speaking from experience also there’s studies on it as well.

[@StephaniePerry]

Very true!

[@angelar.5683]

I thought about that, but thankfully I haven't really dealt with that in my work life. I've been lucky enough to primarily work under and with younger Black women. So I didn't think it would be right to speak on something I don't have first hand experience with.

[@litetorturelitetorture4027]

We just had an all hands EEOC training session about these facts, it was for management but I snuck in.

Ladles consider getting your life and health insurance license and you don't need experience. I'm also Medicare certified and work remotely. You can work on any state, the company ships you all the equipment. Some work is seasonal but there is permanent work as well. Pays about $22=24 an hour.

Cost of living in Texas used to be really good before people from 49 states have moved here. We are overflowing and the cost of everything has skyrocketed. Houses that were $150,000 are now $250,000. Apartments that used to rent for $900/month are now renting for $1200 - $1500/month. We are too full and traffic is HORRENDOUS.

[@PeacefullyRounded]

Been working in heath insurance since I was 19 starting as a admin assistant and never in a million would I have guessed I’d actually be working from home and I love it. I don’t have to deal with micro aggression previously dealt with my Texan very white supervisor, I started at $20 and I’m able to be here when my baby gets off his school bus. Now if only I can get past this 20 hourly I’m in there! Lol *still very thankful Lord!* 🙏🏽☺️😁

[@loriannrichardson7644]

Some years ago I worked from home. Although at first I thought, this is great, in time I came to hate it. I began to see my home as my place of work, and found I could never just relax in my own home. Anyone else experience this?

[@StephaniePerry]

Angela R. talked about this too. I can totally see how this can become a huge problem. I personally need some better guidance on how to create a separate work space and schedule so work doesn't take over my day and my whole living space. 💗

[@shoot4themoon406]

Yes, I agree. It was unexpected. It got even worse when my kid had to do virtual school. I think we have gotten used to it now, but it's definitely something to consider.

[@travelingthediaspora7996]

I have worked from home for over a decade. It works better when you have a separate work space, preferably with a door. I’ve had a home office and at the end of the day I close that office door and “go home”.

[@fdm2155]

Before the pandemic I'd worked from home twice a week. I always said that was probably ideal for me. March 2020 we went full time from home. While I appreciate being able to stay safe, I don't love being at home every day! I miss the social aspects, I miss leaving home, going downtown, etc.

[@callieduval3000]

Yes and all I want to do when I'm off is get out! It's like I've been shut up in the house all day.

[@bellavega8048]

You are a good interviewer, you asked all the questions I had in my head!

[@rebeccasamuell77]

There is a difference between remote and working from home. My employer has both types. The first woman that was talking had a work from home position. She still has to be in a specific location. Either her home state or a location where that company has a location, like she said, Canada. Remote workers can bop around unless there is a conflict with the location , for example certain countries in the Middle East, or Russia, China.

[@user-cd6ny9yp9y]

I retired at 53 thanks to my husband . It wouldn't have been possible without his company stock plan because it far exceeded the 401k we both have. He is six years older than me and was sick of the day to day grind but we had no clue if our savings and investments would be sufficient, we finally went to a financial management meeting and we make all decisions for a profitable Investment and prepared a plan for our early retirement. We should have done this years ago but never considered that we might ever have enough to retire early and I thank God and my husband for the ability to do investment . We are now financially stable with everything paid for and we have a good health insurance ! Don't wait time is something we have in short supply and no amount of money will buy you more.
