    Honest to god if you offered me like a 30% pay increase but I have to come into the office and do a 40 minute commute everyday…I don’t think I would actually take that deal. Speaking as a formerly single parent: work from home has been the greatest thing for my mental health and personal satisfaction I can honestly remember. Being able to clock in and out not only to get kiddo from school doesn’t just save a fortune on childcare and grief in logistics management but also as a guy who does programming its easy to go knock out a load of laundry or prep some stuff for dinner and let my mind kind of ruminate on the problem I’m dealing with. That means when its finally time to clock out for the day I was able to actually handle my household responsibilities and still get a little ACTUAL goddamn leisure time.
