"Many years ago, my site Director gave a talk about how she hated that term. I was totally on her side until she unveiled her new term to try to change our culture with 'work-life integration.' It was pitched to us as, 'Bring your work devices wherever you go,' so you can blend your activities with work..."—u/swixstyx
