Is it just me or are my clients just finding any excuse to complain about working from home? Everyone is getting into a frenzy about how to handle this new norm. Perhaps I’m too practical.

I think we consultants develop the ability to work with uncertainties better than anyone else in the industry, given the nature of the job. Not to mention our work life and personal life is so intertwined that we find work from home pretty easy (and a welcome change) vs those who are used to waking up at 5:00 am to crawl to their desks everyday, day in day out, by 7:30 am - 8:00 am
