Is Remote Work Working Out?
Nicholas Bloom | Econofact
Despite concerns at the outset of the pandemic, working from home had a positive impact on productivity. Evidence from SWAA finds that hybrid working from home increases average productivity by about five percent. In fact, the productivity gains seem to be rising as companies and employees learn how to take advantage of remote work opportunities.

Inverse
Consider this: You’ve got a headache and a runny nose. You also have a job and your colleagues count on you to turn up. What do you do? You decide to work through it and hope no one notices you are a bit less chatty.
This is presenteeism, or working while sick. It’s both a “public health hazard” and a “worldwide phenomenon.”

Often, when I’m reading a resume I’m thinking: “This guy is great, look at all this experience. He clearly knows Ruby and JavaScript like the back of his hand, and this interview is just going to be a formality”. Then, come the interview, the guy can barely code, much less know the ins and outs of variable scope. It turns out there is very little correlation between how good a resume is, and how the interview actually pans out.
Workers Are Winning the Return-to-Office War Because They’re Right
Adrian Wooldridge | Bloomberg
The deepening clash between knowledge workers and companies is more than just a struggle over commuting and convenience. It is a clash over the meaning of work.
