I’ve always been an advocate for working from home. While some would say working from home is rarely a good idea, decades of personal experience have proven otherwise. For one of those decades, my husband and I ran a successful marketing consulting company. Our work was done solely from our home office, all while raising five children. We started our days early before the kids woke up, and when they left for school, we worked feverishly until their return.

What have you done for me lately? For many in IT, the feeling that you’re only noticed when something breaks is ever-present. Thanklessness is hard enough to cope with. Couple that with a recent survey suggesting 84% of IT workers believe their jobs will get harder over the next three years, and two options come to mind: run screaming into another career, or prepare for burnout.
