How Work Became an Inescapable Hellhole
Anne Helen Petersen | WIRED
Instead of optimizing work, technology has created a nonstop barrage of notifications and interactions. Six months into a pandemic, it’s worse than ever.
Navigating Office Politics When There Is No Office
Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, Dorie Clark | Harvard Business Review
Even without the office, it’s naïve to expect office politics to disappear, much like a company’s culture isn’t erased just because people are working from home. In our view, there are three key opportunities that professionals can seize during this transition to office-less work politics:
The home office reveal: A battle of form and function
Verne Ho | Life & Muse
Conventional wisdom says we spend a third of our lives in bed, so we should invest in a good mattress. By that measure, we also spend a comparably large chunk of time working.

My chat with Jill Carlson, Principal at Slow Ventures
Sarthak Haribhakti
I think the same is true when it comes to developing a strong remote work culture. Software tools can be important in finding success here, but ultimately you have to be tapping into the creation of processes and behaviors that will lead people to collaborate effectively. It’s not just a matter of getting the right stack of Slack, Notion, Tandem, and whatever the latest product is. It’s a matter of getting people to use them well. And that is much harder product problem -- and much more interesting design challenge -- than is often framed.
Leaving a company is less emotional in remote work
Treating remote work as distant in-office work will burn people out
