Chloé Jo Davis is the development director at the non-profit legal think tank and litigation fund The Lawfare Project as well as the mother of three children and more than five rescued pets. She gets all this done thanks to being able to work remotely and she told Salon her life is flourishing. Telework allows her to work for a cause she believes in — fighting antisemitism — while maintaining a vibrant personal life.
“Working at home has allowed women like me to have a thriving career that can easily coexist with my mission to be a full-time mom,” Davis said. “The school hours are simple, and there's no time wasted with commuting or making myself office ready. Sweatpants are fine, and I'm blasting off with my cuppa and emails earlier than I ever would [otherwise]. I'm not getting whatever virus is going around on a packed train, and my lunch hour is spent walking my dogs. By the time my kids get home, I take a 10-minute break to get them settled into whatever they have to do (homework, snacks, hand washing) and then I'm back at my desk.”
