'Let Them Fire You': Remote Worker Urged to Ignore Boss's 'Dealbreaker'
Shira Li Bartov | Newsweek
“There’s been a disturbing number of employers using offers of ‘remote work’ to entice candidates, only to require 100 percent in-office work once the job offer is accepted,” Stygar said. “Whether this is illegal depends on the nature of the employment agreement.”
Microsoft’s remote-work-friendly CEO puts his finger on the big problem with working from home
Jane Thier | Fortune
“I think the best way to bridge the paradox is not to have more dogma, but more data,” he said. “Instead of this being some kind of argument, let the data really help us move forward.”
Nadella practices what he preaches; Microsoft’s hybrid policy lets employees work remotely half the time—any time beyond that requires management approval.
Office time is not for video calls, says tech boss

Finding the joy in feeling tired
Jean Hsu | Jean's Newsletter
How we treat tiredness sometimes feels like how we treat anger — we try to avoid it, we try to distract from it, we try not to feel it. We drink one more cup of coffee, or play some upbeat music, or do some physical activity to feel more energetic.
How to find what I am really good at?
pr07ecH70r | Hacker News
In the past years I’ve been quite diluted in my personal and professional life. Changed several jobs, and in my hobbies, I am jumping from one project to another. How do you stay focused? How do you find 1 thing you are really good at and stick with it? Is there a book or a blog teaching this? Although, it seems quite trivial, for me this is a huge live hurdle.
I alone am in the true pessimist camp that says remote work is bad and will stick.
San Francisco went from 5% office vacancy to... 23%.
