  1. Working remote has it’s pros and cons for running a business. I feel for Ms. Black in the article but hello; you have an employment gap of nearly 7 years and you’re 56 years old? That’s not a good look for employers looking to hire. It’s hurting your chances remote position or not.

  2. People can secretly working a second remote job. A friend of mine was pulling $120K before taxes last year as a soft engineer. Tell me how sustainable or ethical that is.
