I already work remote and have since the pandemic and it works for me and my employer. I do travel occasionally, but whenever I do I always think "wow, I'd get so much more done right now at home."

I've always been skeptical of the entire RTO storyline. I literally work on a computer all day with an Internet connection and can complete every aspect of my job remotely, no if, ands, or buts, about it. Also, at this point many are tracking our mouse movements and key strokes, and the work gets done, so they know we're working too

I'm used to the short sided mindset at this point, but the situation just got me thinking about it again.

Meanwhile, companies are throwing everything at AI (which works remotely), laying off employees to do so, and then having obsurd in office policies and skimping on benefits.

Now, I could argue that it makes things unreadable and so on, but honestly, who cares? Right? The AI can fix it if it breaks...

Most small businesses I've talked to do one of three things: send the QB/Xero auto-reminder and hope for the best, send a WhatsApp message themselves when the reminder doesn't work, or just let it slide because the relationship feels more important than the cash.

The second one is interesting to me. WhatsApp works — it gets read, it gets replies — but it's completely manual and people do it inconsistently.
