    New job that’s WFH if you want.

    I can now see my kid every day, stop wasting annual leave for a delivery or CBA days. I can keep on top of chores while working.

    I don’t get paid any more but I’m spending less and more importantly I’m gaining back time and seeing my family.

    It’s made me happier, more fulfilled and a better dad.

      It is a nice change in a lot of cases - getting that commuting time back can be a game changer, particularly if you have kids.

      Do agree with the other person about it being a double-edged sword (I’m definitely in the ‘it’s kind of isolating’ camp) - though at the same time it can serve as a push to creating more connections outside of work.

      (Though some of us, myself included, don’t really respond to the push I guess).

      Good answer! I’m glad this is working for you!
