But I mostly crunch data or I am on location for data collection. I have projects all over the world. My productivity INCREASED at home without the disturbances of the office. My employer want me back. I’ll go, even though there is no reason for it. I will not work extra hours anymore though. Those days are over. After 8, I am going home.
