Good point - if it's just a cost-savings, it less awesome. Not knocking it, I mean you gotta do what you can. But I love the idea of carving out your own balance of work and life.

I was thinking it would be great for a company to incentivize a family nomadic trip (during a school break or something) to a timezone that might need better coverage for whatever the remote worker does. You know, here's extra funds to spend some time in APAC or EMEA for someone who specializes in a needed topic. Bring the family, make memories for a week. Would be a wonderful perk.
