Working from home is the ultimate goal for many people today. From stay-at-home parents to travelers to students, working from anywhere with a strong wifi connection can create work-life balance unknown to previous generations. With the amazing technology we have at our fingertips, it probably won’t surprise you that many business are hiring web based freelancers or full-time remote workers in favor of the traditional nine-to-fivers.

When Keith Rubenstein’s problems with sleep first reared their head, almost four decades ago when he was just a teenager, they were dismissed as typical youthful laziness. Rubenstein’s inability to stay awake in classes was attributed to little more than boredom. He began to find any excuse to skip classes simply to avoid falling asleep at his desk, an amble he took so often, his classmates voted him “Biggest Hall Roamer” his senior year.

For a very, very long time, we lived in a society where the wishes and the needs of the worker were entirely inconsequential. Over the centuries, things became incrementally better (with a few massive leaps spattered here and there), and while things are definitely not perfect, it is safe to say that employees currently have it better in many ways than they ever did previously in the history of the human civilization.

To say that the Trump administration has launched to a rocky start would be a severe understatement. While battles over policy issues were to be expected, one source of Oval Office tension has been most unusual: the office politics. As leaks continue to pour out of the White House about President Trump’s shifting alliances within his inner circle, the only constant seems to be the lack of job security. His former national security adviser was forced to resign after just a month in office, despite having been in the President’s inner circle throughout the campaign. The calls for his attorney general’s resignation grow ever louder. Key Department of Justice officials, including the former Attorney General and the District Attorney for New York, have been fired. And within the President’s core group of advisers, loyalties are constantly shifting - with all the gory details being leaked to the press.
