"WFH was the right thing to do twenty fucking years ago when IT presented the concept of Remote Desktop and VPN."
In the 90s we were using Remote Desktop and VPN to enable a lawyer across the US to edit contracts, print them, solve the dilemma, close the deal, all while everyone at the meeting was on the phone typing to explain to their office staff so they could, maybe, fax something.
Not exactly work from home, but wortk where you are.
BTW, the first incident of this 'magix' lead to our outfit having to fly cross country to train the locals in how to make all this work. Was fun, would do it again. The next one made our client an international reputation.
Point is, these technologies were actually invented to address remote administration, then work in the field. WFH has done what such good technology does, solve problems that did not even exist when it was thought up.
