When a boss can’t visibly see you at your desk, they will often wonder whether you’re working or getting distracted by home responsibilities. Distance can create a lack of trust.

1 Corinthians 4:2 says, “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”
If you want job flexibility, be heavy on communication and prove yourself trustworthy.
