Yesterday we learned of the decision to terminate our company-provided internet access at our homes.  It’s a mixed blessing really as when the company paid for it, I was happy to be online and on-call anytime that they needed me.  However, it also meant that I never really felt disconnected.

So I look at it this way, once I pay for my own access, if I am needed to work evenings or weekends, it will be as simple as I will need to do it from an company location.  It will be different if I choose to work from home.  But otherwise, I’m not so very inclined to pay for the privilege of connecting to the office at home.  I think this will help the work-life balance as well.  So overall, I’m struggling to complain 😀
