After 8 years I've finally come to the end of struggling with working remotely.

I'm going back to 2 hour daily commutes.

The flexibility of remote work can be a real problem. It causes arguments because you don't have a 3rd party to blame for when you have to be in work or not.



Not sure I understand. Why do you need to blame a third party?


Same thing as using a GPS rather than a map. If you get lost or something goes wrong it's the fault of the GPS rather than the person reading the map.

The company you're working for fixes the working hours so there's no discussion about doing 'just this one thing' at some random point in the day.


seems like you didn't have that much 'flexibility' if you had to argue each diversion with your company. it's not the hours, it's the results.
