Was just told to start prepping for work travel for our “special” clients who want to see us in person. No thanks. Getting ready to search elsewhere.

Working remotely works, I’m going by my own outcomes not some scientific study. I’m not going back, ever.

You don’t want travel but that has nothing to do with remote work tho.

I actually look forward to work travel from time to time now since we went fully remote. I’m never going back to office setting as well but occasional meet up is awesome in my experience thus far.

I can see occasional traveling as fun, and a break in routine. But I wonder if parent meant, "remote work from a hotel forever".

I ended up doing this unintentionally for the last ~1.5 years and...I have to be honest, I didn't hate it.

Maybe it was just pent-up energy from being stuck on a small island (Singapore) for the first two years of covid - and it probably helped that I was mostly in major European capitals - but once I got back into the swing of traveling again it was frankly delightful.

I've found air travel for business to be increasingly unpleasant in past years, mostly due to shrinking seat space. (I'm about 6'3".)

For that reason alone I try pretty hard to avoid it, unless there's a compelling reason.

I'm actually a little surprised there hasn't been a class action discrimination lawsuit by tall people against airlines. I'm only 6' with shoes on, and it's getting tight for me.

6'3", I buy the extra leg room.

I'm very lucky to work for a company that's understanding about this, and lets me get Economy+ -type tickets for this reason.

But it's the first company I've ever worked for that's so considerate.

I came to the same conclusion. I have no desire to fill the gap in social lives of my coworkers. I prefer to spend the time with my kid. It's just a job and I'm fine without the whole office thing.
