It's been a journey so far for me this year and just wanted to share a win. My flight got cancelled going back to the US on Nov 4th from the Philippines due to Typhoon Tino. I was supposed to be back for work that week. I spoke to my manager about working remotely using a VPN to connect to our servers and she agreed to give it a shot. Fast forward to now, I am back in the US. I asked my manager if I can work remotely from the Philippines and she agreed to it finally! My one way ticket back is on 12/8! Yee!!
