Spot on
Having tried it for about 7 years, I can say this article is spot on. It had to stop as I was far more stressed working from home and I even willingly swapped it for a new job that involved a 1.5 hour drive each way. That obviously wasn't much fun either but I have thankfully moved much closer now.
In one particularly notable incident, where I was working from the other side of the country, I made my monthly visit to the office, only to discover by accident that the boss had promoted the relatively new guy to CTO and hadn't told me for 3 months. Suddenly the arguments I'd been having with the guy beforehand made a lot more sense. The other staff were shocked that I hadn't been told.
Unfortunately my close colleague has just moved to the back of beyond. I really hope it works out but I feel it may be a challenge for both of us.
