And meanwhile, in the world of micromanagers, AC and his people would have those managers tearing their hair out at the thought of a global team working together as techies and keeping them out of the loop.

I can testify that giving people the responsibility (and the backup support) to manage their own work and therefore, their work-life balance works.

I have spent the last 20 years primarily working from home. One day a week in the office became a chore until COVID hit. Now? We meet one day a month at an office that is rented for the day. Our old office has been downsized to around 20% of its former size. The company is still growing in terms of headcount and profitability and AFAIK, our service levels are better than pre-COVID.

My main customer is in the Middle East so I tend to work hours that match their workday. I'm done by 3pm. While it won't work for everyone, it works for me and in the summer, gives me quality time in my garden to relax at the end of the day.
