Exactly this. I keep my personal life and work completely separate.
My wife and I travel a lot and we have done the digital nomad thing for a year.
I go out of my way not to talk about that at work because I don’t want people to say I’m “being distracted” or when I actually do have something like doctors appointments for them to think that I’m goofing off during work hours.
I worked from 15 cities the year before last.
That’s partially PTSD from my time at AWS (Professional Services).
Indeed. I've heard people getting laid off, for other similar personal reasons, first over others because "well, A has kids and B doesn't, B can doesn't have to support anyone so we'll let B go first." One should not give an employer any more reasons than necessary to lay one off over others.
