No office companies are the new sweatshops. There has to be a middle ground somewhere.<p>I worked for years at home and it made me sick because I didn't have a clear distinction between work and life. It gives the right to the employer to ask you anything anytime because <i>he could be working</i>. That way of working lacks the subtle connection that a team has to have and the more complex relation between management and workers.<p>But, I don't think that working 9-5 in an office is healthy either.<p>A company should offer office spaces to their employees accessible at any time of day with no obligation to get there. It may be a dream but I'm getting closer to it...
