I totally understand, there's a reason I used the word "fascinating" and not "exciting"
I would personally be open to trying it once, but I have no idea if it would fit in my life as a regular occurrence or if it would be miserable and make me want to quit.
- zdragnar 5y agoI did have a job previously that required 2-3 days of travel 4 times a year, and was able to make it work. In fact, a 2 week trip to a cabin to focus on work and team building sounds fantastic... for me. My spouse, on the other hand, would not be having a great time. It certainly has a whiff of unintentional ageism.

- mehlmao 5y agoWhat makes you think it's unintentional? The goal is absolutely to filter out people whose families are more important to them than whatever shitty webapp they're making.
- zdragnar 5y agoFor many people, it isn't much work at all. Maybe they dont have kids, or maybe their kids are old enough to not need as much supervision, or maybe they have other family or friends who can help chip in. That isn't my case, but I am also not going to assume the worst of someone for whom it isn't an issue and is simply not considerate. Then again, I have also avoided working for any company that failed to commit to a healthy work-life balance.
