Ask HN: Why people think work from home and work from anywhere are same?

1 点作者 saasxyz超过 2 年前
I am building a site for fully location independent jobs. All jobs on my site are work from anywhere. I started this project after seeing all the popular remote job boards are filled with jobs that have some sort of location restriction. Job seekers can&#x27;t apply from other countries&#x2F; can&#x27;t move to a different country while working.There are reasons for the restrictions: tax implications, local laws, etc. These jobs are essentially work from home jobs. So, I built a site exclusively for work from anywhere jobs.<p>The most common feedback I received from day one is: how is this different from remoteok or weworkremotely? Further conversations revealed me that they don&#x27;t distinguish the difference between work from home and work from anywhere. In their opinion, remote means you can work from anywhere. But in reality most remote jobs are restricted to a location.<p>Why is this? how in 2022 people overlook this? Am I missing anything?

Work from &quot;anywhere&quot; can be problematic because of timing, data egress&#x2F;storage laws, etc<p>If I work for a US company that does DoD contracting, for example, I can&#x27;t work &quot;from&quot; Belarus<p>I could work anywhere in the US<p>Some companies have national, state, or local incentives to hire &quot;local&quot; (or &quot;domestic&quot;) ... even if those workers are remote, because they&#x27;re supposed to be helping the &quot;local&quot; economy (be it Macon GA, Iceland, Hawaii, etc)<p>There may be other concerns about having workers connecting &quot;from anywhere&quot; due to non-competes, same-named-but-different businesses in those other locations, tax regulations, etc

Work from Anywhere may be a nightmare in terms of tax compliance and labor laws for smaller companies. That&#x27;s one reason smaller companies have location restrictions. Larger companies have well-established processes and payroll systems to be able to handle that, not to mention the IT infrastructure.

I think you answered your own question. Work from &quot;anywhere&quot; isn&#x27;t really thing without breaking some tax laws in most countries. So it&#x27;s not confusion so much as you&#x27;re looking at a very small subset of legally grey behavior within the grander scheme of remote work, which like all things assumes that people have a fixed address and move rarely.

&quot;Remote work&quot; has always existed in one form or another for some of us but, for the majority, it all started a couple of years ago as &quot;not work at work&quot;. For better or worse, that is the new colloquial meaning of &quot;remote work&quot;.
