Items will be designed remotely. Built remotely. Delivered by amazon. But, used by you? Sent to recycling by amazon pickup. Only thing you need is a remote paycheck. Ah, govt welfare. That’s here now.

Before everyone gets all excited about working remotely, I did that for about 8 years and it has a lot of disadvantages.

This is, of course April Fool’s Day, and the very idea of remote-driving a forklift reads like an April Fool’s Day joke. It doesn’t even make sense financially, compared to having an hourly employee present on the jobsite.

[image] bing: Organizations need human contact for a number of functions Amazing as it is, I actually agree with you. Few jobs should be 100% remote. However, we should not have to go into the office every day. There are plenty of days where a worker sits in her office all day doing digital …
