What if the phone infrastructure goes down for any reason? Having the data backup is smart because many of these folks have satellite internet even when their phones don't work.
It's like going through life with autism and being called "neurodiverse" as if you haven't lived with an active disability your whole life, you're just a little different from everyone else.
Back in the early 2000s I saw someone refer to a wheelchair-bound person as "handicapable". The disabled fellow ran over his foot lol.
Point being I think it's best not to minimize people's suffering. Acknowledge it, respect it, and try to move forward together.
I dont think of Autism (as someone who has it) as a disability - even though it does make me different (normal people and their societal norms are often baffling to me, but I still follow those norms to the extent I am able).
I don't want others to think of me as disabled either (though a little understanding might be nice when I fail to mask well enough).
Maybe the problem is how we treat the disabled, not the words we use to talk about disability?
Without that, RES, or a third-party interface, I'm 100% out. I do not need to deal with cluttered, shitty interfaces that are designed to "increase engagement" instead of giving me what I want. Respect my time or fuck off.
It sometimes goes by different names, such as 'workspace' or 'screen'; but these days I think every major desktop OS has these.
It's just the name for "where the windows go".
So you might have your terminal full screen on one virtual desktop, and your browser on another virtual desktop, and use shortcuts to navigate from one to the other.
Lots of people are too shy or anxious to break perceived consensus or even just to challenge a "stronger" personality in person. Put them in a chat room and they get all fired up.
Absolutely nailed it. Remote work requires a bit more upfront involvement but the payoff is a more independent and healthy workforce (generally speaking). This will 100% highlight any failures in your current system/model.
Our onboarding system has been terrible for as long as anyone here can remember. Remote just made it stand out but it was always shit.
