- Alexandra Karplus credits office jobs in New York and Singapore for many of the friendships she's formed over the years.
- Since she started working from home, her personal relationships with coworkers aren't as strong.
- She still wouldn't want to go back to office life.
"I want to invite you guys over to my place for Thanksgiving," I told a few coworkers while enjoying a picnic at the Singapore Botanic Gardens back in 2008.
It had been a month since I moved from New York to Singapore and I felt happily settled in my new life. I was 27, just married, and thrilled to start the next chapter of my life on the other side of the planet.
