working from home risk losing it for all workers who work at home.

It takes discipline and a ingrained work ethic to pace one self, to work at home. Don't abuse it. This is from an old IT guy who had numerous people working from home (makes sense in an IT environment). The business I was at ended telecommuting because so many people were abusing it (not actually working).

The verdict is still out on whether working at home vs. work is workable, long term. We still did it (work at home) when the weather was nasty, but did not do any more it because of the abusers. Some places that I have heard of that still employed telecommuting actually resorted to counting key strokes etc. to monitor productivity, not a good measure of work.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
