Working from home has changed so many people's lives. I know people who travel the world and are able to finance that not by being an underpaid au pair but by working for an American company remotely. There's a whole community on Reddit dedicated to the overemployed: people who have two or three remote jobs that they work at from home to bring home six-figure paychecks. Some of us like the small pleasures of working from home. My dad gets to join meetings with his dogs by his side, and I think that's beautiful.
With all the benefits working from home brings, there are always downsides. Just because your job can't control whether you work at the coffee shop or from your bed doesn't mean they can't dictate what city you live in. The remote worker in this story wanted to move to the land of 10,000 lakes, but his job prevented it.
