[quote=Coronita][quote=XBoxBoy]It’s funny. We keep talking about tech workers, but the other day I called a company’s customer service and while I’m on the line with the service rep. I could hear her also telling her kid that she needed to be quiet while mom’s on the phone. I guess she could have brought her kid into work, but I suspect she was working from home. And if you think about it, she’s saving money because she doesn’t need to pay child care, and the company is able to get a low wage worker that they otherwise might not have been able to. I don’t think this work from home thing is just about high paid tech workers.[/quote]
It’s also school district employees, who called just a few days ago, and she said she’s not in the office and she’s working from home so it’s best to reach her via email….[/quote]
And it’s health care workers also. One family member meets with a therapist over zoom. Another family member just took a work from home job counseling patients with hearing issues.
Much of the mortgage industry is wfh now also. It’s a tech wave but has created many other ripples
