The article discusses the benefits of remote work, highlighting the author's personal experience of improved work-life balance after a shift from classroom teaching to a work-from-home position. With the flexibility to manage daily tasks, attend to personal matters, and maintain a healthier lifestyle, the author expresses gratitude for this opportunity. However, it contrasts with the reality for many who are returning to office environments, emphasizing that not all jobs allow for such adaptability. The narrative connects this modern work-life dynamic with broader societal themes, including speculative portrayals in media, such as the Apple TV+ series "Severance."

Many careers don't offer remote work opportunities, and professionals across the country have been called back to the office.
