Localization Quality Manager, South Korea
Mother of two: one youth; one teenager
Excerpt from Grace's essay (p. 176)
“… The other major factor that makes working from home possible is modern technology, with our wonderful VPN system a good example. While it is not easy to carry my heavy notebook computer in the jam-packed Seoul Metro, it works wonders when I work at home. Like magic, I can access all the designated e-rooms, Powerlink, Channel EMC and network drives around the world. I think technology is a friend to working mothers around the world.”
Why she wanted to contribute her story to the book: I love working at EMC and wanted to pay a small token of appreciation to my great managers who trust me enough to allow working from home sometimes. And I also hoped my essay will show how these state-of-art EMC technologies can help to balance my work and personal life. It is a very exciting to witness that modern technologies really can transform the way of human living and working very drastically.
