Remote work: Employers are taking over our living spaces and passing on costs
Richard Shearmur | The Conversation
Employers argue they make considerable savings on real estate when workers shift from office to home work. However, these savings result from passing costs on to workers.
Unless employees are fully compensated, this could become a variant of what urban theorist Andy Merrifield calls parasitic capitalism, whereby corporate profits increasingly rely on extracting value from the public — and now personal — realm, rather than on generating new value.

DNs with 2+ years of experience, what was your biggest mistake and how could someone else prevent it?
MarkDMill | Reddit
I’ll go first.
My mistake: I arrived overseas planning to use ATMs to withdraw cash for living expenses. I’ve been in this country before (cash society) and was able to make ATM withdrawals before, so I didn’t think anything about it. But between the first time and the second time, I switched banks…only to find out that my new bank couldn’t service ATMs in the country. I arrived with literally no way to pay for anything.
