I can’t blame someone for wanting to see a client face-to-face. The problem is much bigger than the occasional client meeting.
-We make our work, and our family, the defining central ways we define ourselves. At the same time we see both of those as hollow.
-Our work really tends to be ‘make work’, we have a routine and stick to it. And we don’t like breaking our routine. People don’t like flex time.
-We live in a cloistered, ‘nuclear’, family world. I see so many people isolated by their families. Moms left at home with one kid bored our of their skulls. Forced to put their careers on hold as they babysit a toddler.
