If 99% of what you do is in front of a computer and the other 1% is in meetings there’s no reason there shouldn’t be remote work.
I moved fully remote a year ago for several reasons, and as much as I miss the office camaraderie, my wallet, belt line and mental health all appreciate it a lot.
I agree. I also agree with the person who replied to you that said for some working onsite is still the best option. I think that both options have benefits and detriments. Mainly depending on what type of responsibilities you have at home. If I lived alone I might want to go on site just so I wasn’t alone for a majority of my life. As it stands I have a wife and two kids and a kitty, so being home to help out (and avoid the 1000$ a month daycare bill) has been a great benefit to my mental health
Yep, and while working from home should never be in lieu of actual child care, cutting out 2-3 hours of commute time in each side and being able to help at lunch is HUGE.
Even if you still put your kids in daycare, you would still spend more time with them and it’d be less stressful if you were working from home. You can get a daycare close to your house vs on the way to work/near work.
