If you get the work done, you get the work done. IF you can’t 0or won’t, you shouldn’t have the gig.

Some people can do 300% of the required work from a laptop at the beach in 25 hours for the week. Some can’t cut it with a 10 gigbit connection and three 27” monitors in an ergonomic cube in 60 hours
