As a remote contractor, they judge me by my results and trust me to do my job however I see fit. No hand-holding or micromanaging, only one standup every couple days.

Meanwhile at the office I've got to attend a morning attendance meeting everyday, a bunch of other useless meetings, and I need to ask for permission if I need to take a couple hours to go to the doctor and apologize if I happened to sleep in one day.

Can't say I miss office life.
