The tech company blew up as one of the main means of communication for people forced to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I guess this could just as easily be posted in an anti-work community

    I’ve been getting a lot of messages on LinkedIn from recruiters, a lot of these are asking me to be in the office 2 to 3 times a week. If I was to commute, I’d leave before my son is awake and arrive after he has gone to bed, working from home, I see him whenever I want.

      Never saw my dad growing up unless it was the weekends and by then he was tired. He commuted a decent amount. Now he’s in his later years and unable to physically do much. I wonder what kind of relationship we would have had. I wish I knew him at his best.

        I missed all my kids young years due to work and commute, I’ll be damned if I miss their middle/older years. work from home isn’t just a preference it is literally giving our family irreplaceable time back. your comment made me sad, I hope you have a good relationship now

      I always ask if there’s in office and will flat out reject anything more than 1-2 days per week
