    When people say “remote,” is that the new code word for “working from home or wherever the hell I want to work, such as a swimming pool at a resort in Cabo San Lucas”?

      sometimes, not always

      I’ve found that people use “work from home” more often when they mean actual work. slightly more often. most people I know still use remote interchangeably for work from home.

      I wish. My work computer is a 2 monitor PC setup so not a lot of ability to travel. But I can sometimes move to my parents house for a change of scenery.

        ¿Huh?

        Just throw a laptop and a portable monitor into a backpack. I personally travel with 4.

            Welp, you didnt mention it was a desktop PC. To answer your question, you can ask your employeer to issue you a laptop, or, if a policy allows it, set up the things you need for work on your personal one. Neither is particularly uncommon
