Teleworking! Telework is another advantage that modern tech companies such as "starts up" have brought nowadays. Having a teleworking job allows people stay at home and work from there. You avoid commuting everyday and it's not necessary to lose your temper in a traffic jam during the rush hour. Moreover you cut down on expenses like petrol and money for lunch and if you work by shifts, usually, they are very flexible. The company also gets advantages because workers hardly ever take a medical leave or a "sickie" (a day pretending being sick). Also there are no problems of labour harassment. A friend of mine who works as a translator, puts Spanish subtitles in some TV shows to allow deaf people watching TV in an accessible way and his office is a beautiful cottage in the middle of the countryside...his own house.
