Remote Job Positions
I am actively looking for a legitimate job working from home. My husband is a heart patient and has had surgery this year, making him high risk. I was forced to leave my last position as a payroll administrator due to my company allowing employees to work with fever and other symptoms of COVID. (An employee also tested positive and the company did not disclose that fact to the rest of us who had been exposed.)
I am terrified of getting another job and falling right back into the same situation. I did have this discussion during 2 interviews before accepting this position. I was assured that all precautions were being taken.
Working from home would be a much better solution for our family/health. However, it is so difficult to find a true remote position that is not a scam. Help?

A great resource if you are looking for remote work is https://www.flexjobs.com/ . They charge a small fee for membership and access to the job postings, but the site is specifically for those seeking remote jobs or flexible work arrangements with legitimate companies.

Check out PowerToFly. They have a lot of company listings for remote work. Also Remotely Possible (https://www.remotelypossible.tech/). There are many companies that have moved to a all remote workforce, so the opportunities are abounding. Best of luck!

I know that Deloitte, Pricewaterhouse Coopers and Cognizant offer many fully remote roles. Definitely check them out! Cognizant especially hires many positions. Good luck!

EXP Realty. Best job I’ve ever had. It’s a virtual real estate brokerage. Only my cute avatar goes into the office. Google EXP World Holdings and then click on careers.

How much of what you do in payroll benefits from you being in the office? Maybe you could approach your manager about WFH in your current role? I know there could be some constraints (your computer is a desktop, not a laptop) - well could you set it up at home in a working desk situation? If there are things you have to pick up/drop off, could you do it like restaurants...curb side with a co-worker?
Now granted, the company's attitude toward the health & safety of their employees is questionable. So if you apply the logic that they were ill prepared and didn't know what to do, maybe they need a nudge in the direction that's better and safer for everyone? This is really giving them the benefit of (a BIG) doubt. Depending on how you feel, you might consider trying to break down the barrier of working from home with them.
