The Upcoming Remote Work Company Culture War
Ed Zitron | Ed Zitron's Where's Your Ed At
Furthermore, the remote environment has taken away their favorite thing to do - feel like they’re the King or Queen of their office, stomping around and “controlling” things. It’s so much less fun being a hashtag boss when you don’t get to see everybody, and say stuff to them and see them carry it out. I sound as if I’m joking, but I 100% believe that a lot of founders and CEOs operate in this way - and remote work disconnected them from their own ability to lightly bully those they pay.

Zoe Schiffer | The Verge

We’re All Paying for Someone Else’s 4-Hour Work Week, Not Ours
Jessica Wildfire | An Injustice!
Let’s get real about the actual prospects of making this plan work. We know some people pull it off. Everyone else? Not a chance. See, a global economy can’t support millions upon millions of people jetting around the world and running businesses online. There will always be a sub-class of people working constantly behind the scenes, in sweatshops and kitchens, in order to sustain this dream lifestyle for a tiny few.
Nine tips for interviewing over Zoom
Jim Grey
Don’t let these videoconferencing mistakes be a stumbling block for a potential employer.
I wish instead of "remote work" we started talking about distributed teams.
Remote work is popular because open plan offices are terrible.
A great leader can make any team situation work
If remote work wasn’t an option, I couldn’t have joined my team.
