As IT workers in general we have numerous advantages over most people.
First, we can work remote. Compare that to a fast food worker who has to risk exposure to feed their family.
Second, if you spend your money right you can say f it and leave any job that's too rough.

- AccountToUse 5y agoRemote probably hurts in a log4j situation. There's no separation between work and home. You are expected to be ready at the drop of a hat.

During major incidents in my non-remote roles I was expected to be in the office and available for the duration of the active incident, even if I wasn't able to actively contribute (contrary to what folks may have seen on NCIS, having two people typing on the same keyboard is not actually helpful when fighting hackers :P ) As a remote worker I can be at home and present with my family, with short breaks for actual activity, and longer periods for active response. This is not speculation - I have been active on incident response in the last month while helping my kids with homework, side by side at my home office desk).
