It works both ways. I don’t understand people who have to be in an office environment. While being home may as well be house arrest, walking into an office IS house arrest since you surrender much of your personal freedom as soon as you walk through those doors. I also see going to the office as a pay cut, since now your commuting costs are decrementing from your income. Work from home = no commuting costs. For me that is an extra $400-500 in my pocket every month.
Lastly, I commuted for years to my office and missed much of my kids “growing up” while I was stuck in traffic or at work, leaving before they woke up and not getting home till seven at night. They are teens now and I realize that the time I missed with them when they were young, is time I will never get back.
Good point about loss of freedoms in the office.
but it was okay to expect nurses and doctors to be there for your every whim and call, or for the restaurant workers to be available, or the cops to patrol, because none of these people have children....
geez louise...talk about self absorbed..cry me a river....
do you know how many Christmas mornings are "missed" by doctors,cops, nurses, and firemen?......
