He absolutely hated remote working, hourly positions, more than two weeks PTO, people leaving before 5 or 6 PM, and pretty much anything else progressive and accommodating to the employees. Missed family outings, skipped birthdays, and worked while his children grew up without him around. He was about 65 years old, so he served in Vietnam, then came back and basically did nothing but work all of the time for the next 30 years. My former company had a previous owner who still stuck around a few days a week after "retiring". There is an entire generation of aging workers who grew up working all of the time, never seeing their family, spending weekends at work, and they haven't been able to change. I just feel like the old-school mentality that a lot of upper management people have needs to die. I decided my family was more important than work, now I work for the best company I can imagine, love my job, make more money, use Revit everyday, don't deal with traffic, and see my family all of the time.ĭon't let asshole employers hold you back from life, the opportunities are out there, it's scary to leave a job, but change is very good. My mentor lives in North Carolina, we communicate 100% over Microsoft teams, and I am so proud of myself that I didn't just bend over and let my former company screw me. It's an entry level structural designer position, using BIM of course so I use Revit nearly exclusively, about 95% Revit, 5% AutoCAD, and I work completely from home. I can't tell you how happy I am that I did, I found the best company in the world, an established, progressive, company that treats their employees like adults, not children. So I said screw them and started looking for a job that let me work from home. As a millennial with a wife and two kids, my family is far, far important than some shitty company who is stuck in the 50's.
I got a call from my boss last summer saying they were calling everybody back, no exceptions, and excuses, and I had to be back in two weeks. Got to see my family a lot more, didn't have to deal with traffic, and just had an overall better mental state. From about March of 2020 to last July, I worked completely from home, and I loved it. I worked for a rebar manufacturing company doing 2D rebar detailing in AutoCAD, that was from 2014-2021.
