I work (as network engineer) from home around 1 year and I am very satisfied. I have project based position and am the only one (within department) who is taking care of specific role. I have global customers so they don't care if I sit here or 500 kilometers over-there. Provided service is still the same. Here are my experiences from last year: 1. I have own workplace with stand-up desk, big screen. 2. I have silence for thinking and creating. 3. In case of lower workload I can work on some side projects or get some home-tasks or child-care. 4. I am out of noisy open-office. 5. Nobody is staring at my screen and asking silly questions what are you reading? What is it? Can you send me a link? 6. I didn't get any open-office illness. 7. I don't have to fight for air-conditioning/heating temperature. 8. I am home from work after 1 second. 9. Since I don't travel to the office I save a huge amount of money 10. I don't feel lack of social contact. I have neighbors at our street, family near to us. I am introvert. Maybe sometime I don't have someone with same technical expertise but never mind. 11. I am living in area with lower cost for living so I am saving money, I have higher quality of life. 12. I don't need afraid that my car will be scratched (as happened a year ago at private parking, of course no camera records, no witness). 13. Sometime it's hard especially if kids are getting insane and make huge shambles. 14. Relationship with your spouse require higher attitude because you are threatened by marine disease. You are together very often without break. I would not change it back to the open-office insane workplace. In regards to blogpost...I can confirm point #6 - third culture kid. After 5 years living abroad I moved back to my domestic country.
