I first wrote and published this blog topic back in July of 2015. That was nearly six years ago and, with recent events revealing racial inequities along with an increase in anti-Asian and other hate crimes, I thought it was time to bring this topic once again to the forefront as it seems to be a precursor to what we commonly refer to these days as microaggressions which eventually can lead to more insidious actions of violence.

As I’ve gotten older, I better understand why many “old folks” (speaking from the viewpoint of me as a kid) got so grumpy. They’re tired of dealing with years of B.S. from so many people and have had enough of it. They just want to live their lives in peace and will no longer accept subpar work or attitudes. Me too. During our young adult years, we’re still concerned about “fitting in” and finding our place in “work world” – which is either far different from or eerily similar to “school world”.

Let’s imagine that you’re an account manager with 200 customers. If you know that 80 percent of your revenue comes from 20 percent of those customers, what do you think happens to the other 80 percent that only accounts for 20 percent of the revenue? Yep, you guessed right, not much. However, the reason not much happens with these accounts could be influenced by the biological amount of bandwidth you have for maintaining relationships.

Today more and more companies are recognizing the benefits of allowing their employees to work from home (WFH), or more accurately, work from anywhere (WFA) that best suits their lifestyle. In fact, Global Workplace Analytics estimates that 25-30% of the workforce will be working from home multiple days a week by the end of 2021.

I’ve done some work with some folks in the software as a service (SaaS) space and have lots of colleagues and friends who are also working there.
