surveymonkey's revenue is the only validation for mr. Goldberg's work schedule given in this article. (correct me if i missed something)

an opinion either way on the work schedule has so little evidence given this article that it would qualify as a value judgement.

this article is a successful individual expressing mostly value judgements about his work philosophy.

i would love to discuss work from home policy with you. i don't believe this article contributes meaningfully to that discussion.
