Actually it’s been this way since the late 90’s at least, I have colleagues who live and work on the big Island of Hawaii and another in Hong Kong (where no office exists), Others who do take off early to coach their kids team (they are boomers BTW) and they have been doing this for a very long time, but they are the exception not the rule.
There is also a regular purging about every 6 months to a year.
