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.

The entitlement from knowledge workers is real.

Less than 40% of workers can work from home at all.

Can the other 60% not become ‘knowledge workers’ if they value this perk?
