> There is no such thing as "work stops when you leave the office"

um...I dunno about _you_ but it sure as hell applies to me. I leave my home office for the day and work stops. Emergency fires that affect customers are the only exception and i would help with those even if i didn't work at home. Being able to set boundaries like that when you work from home is _critical_ to maintaining mental health and minimizing stress.




That was a bit of hyperbole. But I'd say it is true for 9/10 companies I am familiar with that do remote work. Stories of bosses calling people and expecting them to pick up at 8PM abound.


Stories of 8pm calls are not limited to work from home employees though.
