I never thought about it before reading this but most couples I know fall into this category. Probably because they largely fit the "tech guy marries non-tech gal" stereotype.

I don't know that it means anything, but I'm a tech guy married to a tech gal and we still fit this category. In our case, it's because her work project is classified. The company itself allows full-remote work if your project is unclassified, but you can't get a SCIF in your house.

Why would someone's work location impact what house chores they do. It's still work-time not home-chores time.

a lot of work requires being "present" but not really being at a desk.

my 1-on-1s with my team dont require me or them to be at a desk. i take a notepad upstairs and do dishes while on those calls.

during COVID my boss used to get on calls with me and it was clear he was at the grocery store because i could hear the self-checkout sounds in the background.

as long as items are communicated, remembered, and acted on -- who cares what is happening?

I hope you enjoy living in delusion

Which Western or Asia nation is above replacement level without immigration and has is progressive?
