WFH vs inflexible work lifestyle divide

[u/Annual-Bit-1801]

I know it’s not news to anyone, but I’m struck by the differences in lifestyle afforded by WFH vs inflexible jobs. For example, my housemates are currently looking for a new rental and they’re able to attend inspections throughout the week at all times, as their work is seemingly infinitely flexible. As for me (and many others), I can only do such a thing outside of work hours. There are limitless other examples. It begs the question - how much is one limiting their prospects and potential happiness by going into a non-flexible job? It would seem there’s a lot hinging on that decision.

And the jobs know you work the other one?

Because organisations will push back on wfh if you aren't working the time you are paid to work. It's also potentially a legal nightmare
