i love remote work. i’ve done it for most of the last 12 years, and some of that time was spent traveling. i hates most of my office years (the other 14). most offices had bad lighting, poor ergonomics, open office plans or low wall cubes, blasting AC, and always a few employees who loved to check voicemail over speakerphone. regarding loneliness, i know some people who can be lonely in any situation. and then there are people like me who are rarely lonely, enjoy solitude, but also maintain a few long lasting and meaningful relationships. perhaps the big difference between me and the author is age. spend a decade or more in sucky offices and remote work feels like heaven. i’ll work my ass off, 12+ hours a day, if i can choose where i work from day to day.
