Not for the hn user base maybe, but for a lot of people it is. I worked part time out of college, only job I could find, worked 36 hours a week, anymore and they'd would have to give me benefits. If I had to take time off that came out of my pocket. This is a reality for a lot of people.



This exactly. I haven’t had to take time off work for any personal reason or because I was sick in years - and then I was actually in the hospital. I can work from home, catch up on the weekend etc. But my wife can’t exactly work from home as a special needs bus driver.
