I feel like I enjoyed a golden age of WFH 2020-2025 which perfectly coincided with my kids being small and massively contributed to being a good dad & good husband. Also the most successful period in my entire career!

That is a delight to hear! The idea that ALL must be work is so toxic (I say as someone who blurs fun and work all the time...but that's work for myself not a company). Committing wholly yourself to a non-sentient thing, a corporation, leads nowhere good. Even if they have ping pong tables etc
