[Please respond] The case for working from home (and how to make this the norm at my fund... any ideas?)
Honestly: I like working from home. I get to workout during free pockets during the day, I get to spend a few minutes on the hour hanging out with my wife, I get to cook healthy food, I've gotten to know my neighbors, and I generally don't have to deal with going across town to visit lenders, bankers, etc. Management teams seem happier to be checking in via zoom than having our team fly out to bumble fuck nowhere for a day of feigned import.
Although working from home means working more hours because the ship has a few loose planks, I'd rather work more hours when it means I can live a more full life (and fuck my wife every day... I mean come on... no brainer...)
When I used to work in Venture Capital, my firm used to take Friday as a work from home day. How can I bring that to my current firm? We are in no rush to get back to the office, but I am thinking 20, 30 years out. I want to be working from home more than I was before the pandemic.
When my (future) nanny brings my (future) kids back from school, I want to take ten minutes every day within an hour of them home to talk to them about what they learned, what games they played, and what their friends are up to. Look, I know this career means I won't coach little league ball, but a day home is a good consolation prize.
I now know that taking that time is not disruptive to the workday, so I want to develop a strategy to institutionalize working from home at least one day per week. Has anyone implemented this at their fund? How would you approach management, especially at an old school, stuffy environment?
ALL comments are welcome, PLEASE respond! Thank you!
