Workplace flexibility is the way to win the war for talent

Then don't work from home?

I've got a flexible work schedule, "working from home" can mean many things for me:

-Work from home in the morning, then stop in the office in the afternoon (my commute is short).

-Work from a coffee shop, beach, etc.

-Meet up friends for the day while we do parallel-work.

-Head out of town for a 3-4 day weekend and work remotely for a couple days without having to use any vacation.

Also worth noting, my co-workers with kids get even more value out of this flexibility than me!

What is parallel-work? Would that be hanging out with friends while you all work remote jobs? That sounds like a very interesting setup.

Go to any co-working space outside the US/Canada and it's basically exactly this. Pretty fun.
