this is also a good & interesting angle, personally i hate the "8 hour workday" i would much rather have a mixed day of work time blended with social time & time to myself but as in other cases the relaxing of boundaries can get messy and do you trust employers to not abuse ithttps://twitter.com/sovietmoonbase/status/1260656284224720896 …

can't tell if i just like blended structures because i'm still too close to the total ambient work-play-life soup of college but i think there is also real value to better integrations of work and life it feels unnatural to expect that kind of mental separation of concerns

The older I get (kids, etc) the more important it's become to have blocks of time where I'm not expected to answer work stuff. The other side of that is that my coworkers want me to be consistently available during the other times which makes the blended time thing hard.

kids are interesting bc the standard workday obviously lines up w the school day but i feel like eg in summer it'd be cool to have more flexible hours to hang out w your kids during the day and not be forced to find all day camps for childcare

but agreed on guaranteed times that you won't be interrupted by work, i feel like the ideal is where you can set nonstandard/noncontiguous hours (mod teammate overlap etc) but the work side has to respect those hours, ie the flexibility is controlled by you not your employer
