For pretty much my whole career, it has felt like the only serious complaints anyone has had about me have come down to dickering over petty "time spent in office" issues. My current job is remote, and I've never been happier. https://twitter.com/buritica/status/1260306904208769028

I've been remote a number of times now (early Square, my current job, consulting projects), and my opinion has long been that if you can't make remote work, it's generally a sign of deeper dysfunction (poor communication, gaps in decision-making, etc.) in your organization.

Another way to put this: if your organization's ability to function depends on everyone's constant, drop-of-a-hat availability, there's a good chance you have bad management.

I think my favorite example is the client who demanded that @pbowden and I slog in from Brooklyn to work in their Flatiron offices right after Hurricane Sandy (when many of the bridges and subways were still closed). We later learned that almost their entire eng. team had quit.
