Simple answer but… Small business
Plenty of them still about in most places
It’s been a while, but at one time most people were employed by SMB (small-to-medium businesses).
I work from home and often go weeks at a time only communicating with coworkers over IM.
It’s pretty nice for an introvert, but also real easy to feel completely out of the loop.
If my time working on a zoo taught me anything you’re normally on your own for pretty much your entire day.
Working as a Field Service Technician can sometimes mean being alone for hours on the road in between bouts of installation/service/training/etc.
I used to work as a Night Auditor at a small upscale hotel. Other than the security guard and the engineer, most of my shift was doing small tasks by myself.
If you can swing the hours, it’s not half bad. Pay could be better though.
Any odd stories from that job?
I had a coworker who was a night auditor at a hotel. She had two jobs, but night auditor was her “main” job. She really liked it, and she said it was mostly very quiet. At her hotel, the night auditor also checked in guests who arrived at night. She said she only had a few a night, and she worked in a tourist town.
Trucking, even in lots of local roles where you are home every night.
