Should people be allowed to telework?

[Babygirl_S]

I believe it is unfair that some people get to work from home, whereas others can't.

Yes

No

[RandomUser1000]

Yeah sure.

If you can do your job as well (or even better) from home,
Then why waste time and money by commuting to work if all your commuting is causing a time waste and pollution.

If you don't live within walking distance from work then it's more environmentally friendly to not commute if you don't have to.

Life is unfair.
Some need to commute others don't
Some are paid more, others are paid less.
Some are single, others are in relationships
Some are healthy, others are not

and so forth.

Why should it be fair in this one regard when all else can be unfair?

Would you be jealous of someone who doesn't have to commute to work but they are in a wheelchair or have some other handicap if you are healthy and have a fully functioning body?

Yes, they should. Life is unfair. Some people do physical labor outdoors. Some people work in an office on a keyboard. Some people are paid much more than others. I believe that society should provide enough for everyone to have a reasonably pleasant life -- health care, housing, enough income to obtain the necessities.

Um, yeah. 👀 Life isn’t always fair. If you want to work from home, start your own business, freelance, or develop skills in an area where remote work is common. by the way, some people have to work from home as they don’t have transportation, have physical limitations, or their job doesn’t have a physical location.

[Jennz6]

Yes, but I am not sure if women in your country are allowed to?

[Jennz6]

@babygirl_s PM me

[RebelinSteel]

Yes of course they can. If it’s not possible in a job then that’s just tuff. Also a lot of people do hybrid working, for example 3 days at home and 2 days at work

[Red_Arrow]

If it is a job that can be done remotely, then yes. But driving a truck remotely can't be done.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes, people should definitely be allowed to work from home. I wish I was one of them. Unfortunately in my field of work you can't do that. But everybody that can should

[Jennz6]

@bklynbadboy12 what field of work are you in?

[Bklynbadboy12]

I'm a high voltage splicer

[Jennz6]

@bklynbadboy12 Wow 😯

[gorydetails]

You’re 27 and still think life should be fair? Damn.

[OtterMan68]

if they can do their job and do it well that way, why not?

[Astarlessnightsky]

Everyone who can, should do it.

[jahaims]

Life isn't supposed to be fair

[Amur8711]

Not possible for my job

[BarryLiverstone]

It’s fair
