everyone should upvote this comment.

i’d love to try it. do you need a beta tester in the US 10003?

i wfh, am a ux designer.

yes

a right implies it would be enforceable in some way.

housing should be a human right imho. sadly, it's not a right in the US and it's gotten worse with every decade i've been alive.

it's an obscenely expensive commodity out of reach by many, even working people, and those who find themselves not 100% covered by their US health insurance who go broke.

non-profits and government subsidizing housing help a miniscule amount of people.

i'd love to pack up and leave the US and move to northern europe or switzerland but it's easier said than done especially when you have no family and friends there. i've tried moving away twice. it became too lonely and in one case too much driving required.

any friends and family group in northern europe or switzerland want to "adopt" me into their social group? i'm financially independent and but it takes more than that to pack up and move. :)

imagine the line you'd have to wait in to do the returns. no thanks.

UX design?

i work a predictable 40 hours a week schedule but it's corporate, conformist malaise that's killing me.

mary knowles, the artist the author talks about, sounds wildly fascinating!

the video seems like a parody

i used oscar for the past 3 years in NYC as a self-employed freelancer. yes, oscar has great customer service.

but that doesn't make up for the limited network of crappiest doctors at the crappiest facilities - mount sinai beth isreal is NOT a network of quality doctors or a "quality" facility. and i had the most expensive platinum plan. i bet these oscar execs don't use the dr offices i used.

thank gaia i took a staff job with decent insurance.

Sitting in a cubicle with intense fluorescent light above and cut off from natural light all day feels like it's killing me. And, I can't get an ergonomic set up easily. I need a doctor note. I just want a fucking comfortable chair to sit in 40 hours/week.

Otherwise, I like my job.

Wait, I thought Columbus discovered 'Murica. (Kidding.)

i'm 51 (altho i probably pass as 40-something) and if during an interview it feels right, i'll mention that i'm child-free and unmarried (thus free to travel and work flexibly i try to say implicitly).

i know employers aren't supposed to take those things into account but i think they do anyway.

my 'Background muzik 4 werk' playlist on Spotify. i do ux not programming, but it's still excellent imho.

I've worked at places that allowed many of the flexibilities mentioned.

I sometimes felt that it was more socially acceptable for men and women with kids to use the WFH and leave early flexibilities than it was for those of us who are child-free.

"ladies" is old-fashioned and patronizing. say "women" instead. :)

i'm sad that they're closing

i like how the article is simple and to the point. thanks.

Yes. I need quiet. And I slack off too much when I wfh. I however live in NYC.

NYC rents

Time Warner Cable Internet Service

NYC needs this too.

this is the best work-related article/essay i've ever read since i started in this field in the 90s. (except for the collared shirt part lol that's odd.)

thank you for writing this. #respect

I wish this were real.

birth control in the hands of women when they want it is a wonderful thing.

Uber is a superior service compared to NYC taxis. If NYC taxis want to compete, they should use clean cars (!!) and get an app on the market!
