IBM started doing this literally back in the 80s.
Lots of tech roles have been remote for decades.
I worked for a bank back in the 90’s and early 2000s. I had facilities in four locations in three states.
I was one of 30 Corporate Senior VPs, responsible for bankwide functions.
I did not have an office.
In a couple of locations we have “visiting” executive suites.
I loved it. My boss literally had no idea where I was most of the time. We would chat several times a day—but it was usually “arranged.”
Best job I ever had—other than working for myself.
