Work in IT? Share the love this Valentine’s Day

Motivation and fun

5 February 2016

Most small business owners love being their own boss and having no one to answer to – and despite 70% of them putting in more hours than the average 9-to-5 job – they love doing what they do more than punching a time clock for someone else.1

But being on your own isn’t always a bed of roses, with one in three home-working professionals often feeling lonely at work.2 When it comes to developers and programmers, a whopping 80% feel lonely at work, while 40% work more than 10 hours a day – which doesn’t leave much time for a romantic evening with your Valentine.

Now maybe the time of year has just got us all sentimental, but we don’t want anyone feeling lonely on Valentine’s Day. So we wanted to share the love – with a series of pun-derfully romantic cards for IT consultants, programmers and developers.

We're like two IPs in a pod.

We’re both so similar, but also so unique. We’re so made for each other.
