That feeling when you walk out of an office for the last time, to work on your own thing is exhilarating. I had my moment like that back in 2014 and can still remember it.

It was March 2006 for me, and I haven’t worked in an office since. What a great feeling.

  What you are doing since 2006?

  I went the other way, in 15 year career never worked a day in the office until last week. So far I can WFH but dunno for how long. There are positives with an office but I kinda envy how everyone celebrates the opposite move

I would love to (though I'm a long way off it, with not much to walk away to) but I wonder what the equivalent feeling is if you already/previously work from home? Shipping the work machine back? Turning it off for the last time? Unplugging web cam and microphone?

  Perhaps removing Slack. What a feeling to never have to be online constantly from 8-5 so no one will think I’m not working.

One year ago for me. I’ll never work for a boss again. And won’t be the boss of anyone again either - just as important to me.

  What do you do then? Live off the interests of some fortune?

    I am currently working all the time. Independently designed/developed/operated/owned apps, and worker coop structures for working with others. I like consent based decision making rather than hierarchical or consensus. Command is unnecessary for us to do well for ourselves.
