It really depends on a lot of things. I have worked places where there are firm remote work policies and ones where it’s entirely up to your manager. It also depends on the employee’s position and whether they require something only available in the office, like a VPN or dev terminal or physical materials, and whether they are expected in meetings.
Honestly I think this is the point of confusion. This guy has somehow never heard the word used anywhere other than the widespread military usage and his own field. Weird that that’s the case, but given that starting point I don’t think it’s crazy for him to say “why are people in my field acting like we’ve fought in a war? Maybe we should chill and take ourselves less seriously”.
Obviously there’s the additional problems of not googling things before trying to make a public point, and apparently doubling down when corrected. But I see where a sufficiently sheltered person could get there at least.
If this is real, someone’s bound to do it. Probably pays well, good travel, and basically write what you want on your resume. Just quit before the inevitable sexual harassment starts.
Yeah, but if you're offering an actually competitive salary, more often than not you'd just state the salary because you know people would go for it...
Especially because of the connotation of "competitive salary" has developed
