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”?

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.

    The company gave me a stationary pc. Where am I supposed to get a laptop from?

    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

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.
