[Electronics-talk] Telework/work from home/work virtually/telecommute?

[Snow White Dove]

That’s the other thing about the work from home jobs that I saw.

I was not and am not about to pay for my own blood sweat and time to work for someone.

thanks for that advice, and hope you are doing well there.

Also, others need to remember that advice too.  

there’s no amount of desperation that should ever get someone to pay to work.  It doesn’t come out well.  Something else I’ve learned from hard experience.
