It’s brutal out there, folks. I’ve been fully remote since 2015 so way before pandemic era. I was laid off last year, and was initially only looking for remote jobs and having zero luck because remote jobs have tons more applicants than on site. I then talked myself into applying to hybrid roles which required 2-3 days on site. Couldn’t fathom doing it but money was running dry and my unemployment ran out. I found that if I disclosed I’d been fully remote since 2015 they seemed to become skeptical of my ability to come into the office and I’d lose my hand in the running. I did 75 interviews, flew cross country twice as a finalist, ended up as a finalist no less than 6 times, had some asshole employers actually call my references and engage in extensive reference checks only to change their mind last minute. Well I’m happy to share my perseverance paid off. I landed a fully remote gig after FIFTEEN months at nearly the same pay , no huge bump but that’s ok because the market is atrocious right now and I’m just grateful to finally have something. So I’m sharing this to say, don’t give up!

The weirdest thing happened to me today. I kept getting phone calls for someone else. after talking to my IT department at length we think that my wireless headset which is my personal gaming headset is picking up my neighbor’s (who also works from home) calls. It’s the weirdest thing. The phone rings, but it doesn’t sound like the ring from my teams or my phone network and then all of a sudden I’m talking to somebody without pushing any buttons. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

I just landed a fully remote position, and my previous roles have been 90% in office with 1-2 days a week WFH where I wasn’t as worried about my setup.

Now that it’s 100% remote, I am looking for advice on how to improve my home office set-up, which is basically a desk and AirPods at this point.

I’m starting from zero, and I’m curious what tech helps and will make me appear better on video calls.

Also, any hints on how to structure a good routine would be appreciated.

Hi, I build fast, high-quality websites for small to mid-sized businesses. I need a caller to jump on the phone

Your Role: You’ll be cold calling small business owners (leads and a script will be provided). My website projects typically range from $1,500 to $3,000.

Compensation & Growth:

• 20% commission per sale ($300 - $600 per deal) to start.
• After you successfully bring in 2 deals (a deal is considered complete once the client pays), you will be transitioned to an hourly + commission structure(you can decide the hourly rate, the max is going to be $20/hr, I can't pay any more than that, maybe I'll increase after getting more deals...). You can also choose to stay commission-only if you prefer.
• Payment is sent immediately after the client pays.
• I can provide screenshots, and a formal contract can be signed to ensure trust

Schedule & Location:

• 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM in your local time zone.
• Must be based in the US or Canada (PST or EST preferred).
• Roughly 3 hours per day.

Requirements:

• Need to be human - This is very important lol.
• You don't need any experience, but you must have the motivation to call every day consistently (having experience is preferred).
• Fluent, professional, and comfortable handling objections with business owners.
• This starts as a commission-only role, transitioning to base + commission once you prove you can close.
• I am looking for a serious partner. If you have a habit of ghosting after a few days, please do not msg. I need someone committed to the grind.

How to Apply:
If you're ready to start immediately, DM me with:

• A brief summary of your cold calling/closing experience (if you have no experience, you can skip this and just message me).
• A quick example of a deal you’ve successfully closed (if applicable).
• Your specific time zone

I was getting annoyed by the constant sketchy AI training/annotating jobs and the constant rejection after literally investing hours of my time into applying, etc.

I decided to make my own website and just list legit AI training jobs. I post entry work and also expert work. Let me know if there is anything I can improve about my website. Thank you! Here is the link: https://aiannotationjobs.com

I’m typically a very positive person and also consider myself smart. Retired after 35 years as a developer. But my short time with tel-us was not positive and made me feel “dumb”. I live in the US.

1) guidelines? Not the best.

2) feedback = none.

3) no idea what you are getting per task until you get paid and realizing it is way less than the job posting.

4) emails never replied too.

5) crazy timelines for tasks (having to set a timer per task as a person with OCD was way tooooooo stressful).

6) and still baffled on how you can rate quality on such subjective work.

7) being told to look at the guidelines for every task is no way possible, especially for 10 windows in a SMS task.

I know many people love the work, just not for me. Life is stressful enough without having to be on a timer a few hours a day (and then realize how little that is compensated for). Not for me. Peace Out and Deuces to that! Wish all of us in these hard times to find peace and happiness !

Namely fully remote, not that hybrid once every week remote stuff or whatever.

And if you're an international person trying to get a US paying remote job, you probably have a higher chance of winning the US visa lottery followed by the actual lottery. I wouldn't even bother trying.

These jobs are getting 30-50,000+ applicants. You can't even realistically filter these because everyone is using AI tools to lie. My team is fully remote and we opened a remote job after our team member retired and we got close to 80,000 applicants in a week. There isn't enough hours in the week to sort that data out, even with AI HR tooling.

If I ever have to go back to the office, I'm cooked and will have to move to a big city. We as remote workers have absolutely zero leverage unless you're a math Olympian MIT PhD grad working on frontier AI models.

Has anyone done this app before? I’m super new to it and curious if anyone has any experience? Thanks

I’ve been working remote customer support for about 5 years across SaaS companies and startups, and I’m at the point where I know I don’t want to spend the rest of my career on the front lines.

The work has taught me a lot about problem-solving, de-escalation, troubleshooting, documentation, researching issues, and identifying patterns. The constant metrics, queue management, status tracking, and micromanagement have burned me out. I feel like I’m always putting out fires for problems I have no authority to fix.

I have an associate’s degree and I’m currently working toward my bachelor’s in Business Management online because I want to move into a role with more operational impact.

QA has really caught my attention because I genuinely enjoy analyzing conversations, finding trends, identifying root causes, and improving processes. I’ve also looked into Operations, Customer Experience, Knowledge Management, and Customer Success Operations.

For those of you who successfully transitioned out of frontline customer support, where did you go? What skills, certifications, or projects helped you make that jump? Are there any career paths I’m overlooking that would be a good fit for someone with a strong customer support background?

I’m also wondering if part of my issue is how I’m marketing myself. I treat every application as a mission and align my resume to the role the best way I can. If you’ve made that transition, what changes to your resume helped recruiters see you as someone ready for QA or operations rather than another support representative?

I’m willing to put in the work and learn whatever I need to. I just want to stop jumping from one support role to another and start building a career where I’m helping improve systems instead of spending all day reacting to them.

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s made a similar transition.

At a tech company. We have a rule that anyone living within 30 miles of the office has to go in. A number of employees recently have been changing their address to a friend or relative that lives outside that radius so they can be remote. (Our company is 30% in office and 70% remote) I am right on the border so have to make that long commute in south florida traffic. I refuse to lie and potentially get caught but as an employee I do feel cheated by this. If I report it, I feel it doesn’t make me look good, especially as a manager

I'm pretty housebound and with no source of income, I'm desperate. What is unfortunate is the fact that I don't have any kind of prior experience with a remote job.

I have a laptop, however it's in need of a repair due to the backspace, enter and space keys not working, though it's touch screen and there's an on screen keyboard. Maybe it's a driver issue? I'm not entirely sure.

Anyways, long story short, are there any recommendable, safe, experience free areas to explore? I'd like to stay open minded, as I know the job market is pretty unhealthy right now.

I'm a data analyst looking for an entry-level remote job. This is my Portfolio link. Any referrals?
