Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines immigrant IT workers' experiences with remote work. Through interviews with 21 immigrant IT employees, I find that remote work is used to bridge care/work obligations. Bridging occurs spatially , for example, when working from home enables family members to return to countries of origin for extended periods of time. And bridging occurs ideologically , by enabling remote workers to enact gendered self‐concepts that may be otherwise challenging to achieve. For women, this means they can maintain focus on paid work, while for men, it means engaging in involved fatherhood by taking on more childcare duties. These findings enhance the social shaping of technology perspective by delineating immigrants' gendered relationships with ICT‐mediated remote work, and the intricacies of time use. While ICT‐mediated remote work is conferred on individual employees, it is used to allocate a variety of (unpaid) care relations, both intra‐ and inter‐household. Remote work is not merely an individual‐level experience, and preferences for and against it may be incidental, in the case of immigrants. Rather it is necessary for many to bridge care/work gaps shaped by immigrants' experiences.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
