Ask HN: How to negotiate continuing to work remotely?

I said I am moving to another city do you want me to try remote working or not? Yes. Within 3 months my productivity rose 5x, I received a large raise. Who knew not working in the equivalent of a hog barn (yes I have debugged code in a literal hog barn, one very thin door from the action) would raise your efficiency?

Ha. I said I was moving to another city, can I work remote from there? No. So I handed in my notice and moved. And this was at a company that proudly trumpeted to the press that they were "virtual first" and has been remote since Covid started last spring.

Your mileage may vary with these conversations.

Lol, I've been working out of a cattle ranch for the past 5 years. It's usually pretty quite though. After hardly touching it for a year due to COVID, today I was inspired to clean my desk. There was probably a millimeter thick of dust in some places.

The trouble with that, is that if you try that, it's a prefect reason for them to get rid of you. Oh they're moving! Perfect, lets fire their ass and hire somebody new!!!!!!!!

I wonder about the kind of manager that actually thinks that.
