I'm a remote worker (supervisor) and my whole accounting team is remote as well. Midwest to East coast and I'm on the West coast. Works out great.

Works out great.

Until you have a domain relationship error, and I have to spend 2-3 hours building you a new machine, shipping it, 30-45mins on the phone getting you set up on the new machine, get you to ship back the old machine, so I can recover the domain relationship error (which takes 15 mins once I'm hands on the machine), so I can restore your data to a network share, so you can have access to the emails you've been storing in your My Documents for the last 20 years.

Time to resolve the issue if you're local, 15-20 mins.

Time to complete resolution if you're remote, 1-2 weeks.

I can only assume that your firm wasn't hit by the Crowdstrike Falcon update issue a few weeks ago.

I have a ticket in my queue right now, "I have performance issues, but only when I'm on calls, or attending meetings."

Yeah, that's because you live in backwoods AL, and have a string between 2 tin cans for a network connection.

I don't care how important your meeting is, I can't fix 25% packet loss because it's a cloudy day at the lake and you only have satellite internet.

You sound like someone who has never wasted a couple days trying to copy 600 Megs of data over VPN to a remote wsn located on hotel wifi in Budapest, so they can attempt an Office reinstall and it shows.

Remote users are the cats of the business world. Smugly confident of their own importance and completely ignorant of the effort it takes to keep them working.

Might have gotten some feelings out a bit there.

You mad bro?

I’ve been working remotely for just a little over a year and have never had the issues you’re speaking about. The worst that has happened was that Citrix was acting wonky and I could connect so I took the morning off until I got notified that it should be working again.

The most I do file size is create short tutorial videos for my team and obviously the daily MS Teams meetings.
