The Transactional Nature of Remote Work & How It's Killing Workplace Culture
Erin Blaskie
Today’s remote work environment is not remote-work-done-well.
This is remote-work-led-by-companies-who-weren’t-prepared-for-it. Many companies were forced into shutting down their offices and sending their workforce home without being able to properly prepare for the transition.
As a result, we’re seven months into the pandemic and we’re devolving… fast.
It's not you, it's work. The pandemic workday is 48 minutes longer with more meetings
Nicole Spector | TODAY
According to a recent study from the National Bureau of Economic Research, the average workday is 48.5 minutes longer than it was before the pandemic, and meetings have gone up by 12.9 percent. Mind you, this is just on average. Depending on your field and role, you could be putting a lot more time in on Zoom.
Advice to my young self: to succeed in your career, forget side projects and focus on your job
Manuel Darcemont
To develop my career, I was spending a lot of time outside work reading technical books, doing toy projects, going to meetups, browsing Hacker News. I was finding here what my company was fundamentally unable to give me, and I was feeling holding my fate in my own hands. I thought it was the best recipe to end with a successful career, while remaining free and protected from the meanders of corporate culture (or corporate politics, actually).
I was wrong.
