I work in software and we're permanently work from home. (I don't want to name my employer but they're a medium sized company)
Name one
Atlassian, block, build kite.
We're small. Very. But we all wfh forever. Software dev and support.
Same.
Same here
Is it an Australian company ?
Yes.
You can just search for 'fully remote' on the job ad sites: https://www.seek.com.au/fully-remote-jobs
Dont think these are forever ? They might give WFH for idk may be 6 months and then will say their policy changed.
Well you can ask them if it's fully remote forever, and then don't sign a contract unless it also states that.
yes since 2015. Workplace went remote, and my current one also supports remote. Husband also gets to work wherever the fuck he wants, does three in, two off, previously worked entirely from home but he dislikes it.
He's a dev and i'm a network/ systems engineer though. IT has higher instances of this.
Where I work went Work From Anywhere during Covid. I joined after the decision was made. They recently acquired a place in New Zealand and went about shutting down the head office to do the same over there.
They say there are no plans to get people back into an office but I wonder about that. There have been questionable business decisions up top that have affected my team and others, so I wonder if they'll start getting people back in for the sake of 'productivity'
Not in WA. We mostly sailed through the whole Covid thing business as usual. There's more work from home than there was before 2020, but I don't know any company that has all its employees remote.
My employer has a few people working from home, but it's usually because they're working for customers in different states. It's certainly not normal and not assured to always be remote.
I work as a software engineer for an Australian bank. My team works remote except for one day a fortnight which is in office to have some meetings that work better in person and so we can catch up and go for lunch. However I didn't go in for my last in office day because I had too much to do and it can be hard to get work done when we are in office.
Feel sorry for devs. What a shitty job! I did it for an year and fucked off. Now working as a BA
The trick is stop being an employee and start being an independent contractor. You decide how, when, and where to work.
Just be aware of all the other shit you now have to deal with like tax, insurance, super, etc.
Lol thats not true. Contractors get treated worst than employees so no WFH for them.
If you are a proper contractor not an employee paid as a contractor than you set your work terms because it becomes a B2B relationship not a e2e.
