they have begun to "modernize" our office with doing less cubes, open cubes, open collab spaces, quiet zones, aka snowflake office type set up.
but this brings new classifications of workers. anchors, flex, full remote
i believe my group is pushing for flex/remote.

I'd love to work remotely, but since I build the silly thing, I'm stuck.
My break is going out to do installs. I get to go to new places, meet strange people (biomed folks are an odd bunch) and eat different food. I was in Spokane Monday & Tuesday, got there about noon on Monday and had time to explore a bit. I found a tobacco shop (!) and had a nice chat with the owner. I told him I was surprised to find a tobacco shop, considering the efforts Washington is going through to 'force' people to be healthy. He said "We are normal people on this side of the Cascades"....
I won't say my job is secure, but if I were to leave, they wouldn't have a clue about 99% of how to build this device. Oh there are drawings, work instructions and device history records, but the deep down 'ya gotta assemble it in this order' info isn't written down anywhere. The girl that I called 'the chief engineer' (had never assembled anything more complex than a wardrobe) decided she didn't want to incorporate the 'this is the exact order to assemble' in any of the documentation.
