I get it, not all firms are capable of remote work.

Hamburgers have to be cooked. Plumbing has to be fixed. And hair needs cut.

But for more and more of us, this is not the place we find ourselves.

60% of our time is spent in software and 40% of our time spent in email.

And Saddington is right.

It all boils down to the autonomy of time.

Do you have a choice in it, or not?

Firms that are capable will compete over this perk more and more.

And then, like most other benefits, it will be expected.

Most parents we remember always went off to jobs of one kind or the other.

I mean, providing is a big part of what parents do.

Right? Right.

But you work and save and sacrifice as a percent because that is what you are supposed to do.

You do what you must – until you can do what you wish.

Erickson did it here with his writing.

Between 1967 and 1982, I wrote every morning, then went off to jobs that brought in enough money to support my wife and family.
