Many people, including myself, struggle with this as people rack up years in InfoSec. Remembering the behaviors that got you to where you are now might not be sustainable for 3,5,10,20+ years in your career, and that's ok. Many of us worked night and day on side projects, research, and whatever else to achieve some position or career goal. Eventually, you must balance those achievements and enjoy your life between hobbies, families, or whatever else outside of this space. It's not defeat or giving up. Understanding your efforts got you where you are, and using your experience to maximize your work and free time will give you longevity in this space.

Wonder which PSC Commish did the motion to put a solar field in front of the nuclear plant? Ummm, let me check. Yours truly did this to show that solar plus nuclear is a path forward for home grown GA energy.

Important paper showing the gains to mothers and society from WFH. A 10% increase in WFH is shown to increase mothers employment by 1%. This is particularly true in professions which are more family unfriendly, like finance and marketing. Two implications:

1) WFH is driving faster economic growth by increasing the labor-supply of mothers. This is a huge benefit to society, and likely one reason for the post-pandemic surge in US economic growth.

2) WFH supports children's development by allowing parents to spend more time with them. This provides individual family benefits, and also wider social and economic benefits.

So the big-name CEOs and Politicians claiming WFH is damaging growth have got it 100% wrong. WFH is likely powering the current economic boom by increasing labor supply and productivity, while also improving personal and family time.

New paper studying the impact of 137 Return to Office mandates on S&P500 firms from 2020-2023. Three key results:

1) RTO mandates are more likely in firms with poor recent stock performance, and in those with powerful male CEOs.

2) Glassdoor data finds RTO mandates significantly reduce employee ratings for job satisfaction, work-life balance and senior management.

3) There is no significant impact of RTO mandates on either firm profitability or firm stock-returns.

My interpretation is that RTO mandates are often a response to poor recent company performance, perhaps adopted by under-pressure CEOs. These RTO mandates upset employees, but do not appear to yield performance benefits in return.
