You’re pinning the “lunatic” flag on someone spreading a good message. Why?
In the spirit of the original reddit forum, I’m just pointing out someone who seems to be self-congratulating. It would be less “lunatic” to just do the deed and then not post about it. Your “Why?” seems rather pointed, as if I have some nefarious agenda against working from home.
I think the reasoning behind it is to counter the LinkedIn corporate slave driving culture where upper managers think everyone should be tied to their open air desk like dogs in a kettle so they can feel in control.
He’s trying to set an example for others to follow.
Who knows what their intentions are, but they’re still spreading a good message. And to be fair there is a difference between a fairly lax work from home policy and wanting to work from home permanently. It could also just be a smaller company where they don’t really have official policies for things that haven’t come up yet.
