NoDesk: Issue #143

Dec 17, 2020

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 year has been challenging for everyone.

But despite the challenges, it’s been a remarkable year for the remote work community. Companies have been embracing remote work beyond what’s required by the pandemic, and many have decided to go remote-first.

We’re also starting to see countries compete for talent by offering digital nomads and remote workers lower taxes, grants, and long-term visas. Is this the future of urban employment?

Here at NoDesk, it’s been a big year with the site rebuild that took place in September.

Happy holidays and I wish you all good vibes, health, and happiness for the new year!

Slack Is the Right Tool for the Wrong Way to Work

Cal Newport | The New Yorker
