NoDesk: Issue #137
A weekly newsletter with the best new remote jobs, stories and ideas from the remote work community, and occasional offbeat pieces to feed your curiosity.
By Daniel (@nodeskco).
This issue is brought to you by our new community partner: Echo.
Echo is “Slack for voice” - voice messaging for remote teams with features like automated transcription and Focus mode to help you stay in the zone and avoid distractions.
Echo fits perfectly between typing and “jumping on a quick call”.
It is designed for both interactive and asynchronous communication and combines convenience of voice and benefits of text. Click and hold to record messages to teammates or channels. Instant delivery and playback. Listen to responses as they arrive or catch up later in message history. Speak, listen, and read. No typing required.
All features are free for teams of all sizes until the end of 2020.

Our Work-from-Anywhere Future
Prithwiraj (Raj) Choudhury | Harvard Business Review
Individuals, teams, entire workforces, can perform well while being entirely distributed—and they have. So now we face new questions: Are all-remote or majority-remote organizations the future of knowledge work? Is work from anywhere (WFA) here to stay?
For those with disabilities, shift to remote work has opened doors

Making Remote Work: Part I - Building Trust With Remote Staff
Dana Jones | Dana Jones' Software Development Blog
Your team doesn’t owe you trust simply by virtue of you being their manager. They owe you respect, as we all owe each other, but trust is something you have to earn. But to be the most effective leader of a team that you can be, you absolutely 100% need their trust. You need them to feel comfortable disclosing risks and problems as early as possible, and they will only do that if they know you will address those things appropriately.
City of the Future: Remote Work
Eric Jaffe, Vanessa Quirk | Sidewalk Labs
In an era of remote work, when people can work from anywhere, where will they choose to live? And what can cities do to set themselves apart from the competition? In this episode, we look at the ways remote work could change not just the way we live in cities — but which cities we live in, too.
I'm deaf, and this is what happens when I get on a Zoom call
Quinn Keast | Fast Company
Can you hear me? No, but I can read you. A hearing-impaired product designer has his team experience his world and says we need to make work more inclusive for people living with disabilities.
How are Digital Nomads coping with travel restrictions?
mikhailfranco | Hacker News
Many countries have effectively closed their borders, by not issuing tourist/visit visas, or requiring 14+ days' quarantine, often at the traveller’s expense.
What happens when your short-term visit visa expires? … Get an easy extension? Register for ‘language school’ or other dodges? Suffer a month of quarantine for a visa run? Return to your home country?
