Hand-picked articles, stories and ideas from the remote work community and beyond.
Employers’ push to end remote work and return to office is stalling
Don Lee | Los Angeles Times
Most workers, too, think the current setup will stick. Eight of 10 employees say they expect the present rules regarding remote and hybrid work at their place of employment will still be in place in 2025, according to Leger’s poll for The Times.
Remote work requires communicating more, less frequently
Ben Balter
Remote work requires communicating more, less frequently, because asynchronous communication involves less frequent, but richer communication, meaning there is less time talking about the work and more time doing it, allowing the system to optimize for throughput and flow.
The evidence on remote work is changing
Darian Woods, Adrian Ma | NPR
New evidence suggests working from home, at least full time, may not be as productive as we once thought.
The unexpected pitfalls of work-from-home parenthood
Anna North | Vox
For all its benefits, the practice can be a double-edged sword — especially for moms.
We’re now finding out the damaging results of the mandated return to the office–and it’s worse than we thought
Gleb Tsipursky | Fortune
Unispace found that nearly half (42%) of companies with return-to-office mandates witnessed a higher level of employee attrition than they had anticipated. And almost a third (29%) of companies enforcing office returns are struggling with recruitment. In other words, employers knew the mandates would cause some attrition, but they weren’t ready for the serious problems that would result.
Don’t Take a Workcation!
Heather Tal Murphy | Slate
No, I’ve finally concluded, three years into America’s compulsory experiment in remote work: The workcation is a farce.
Many people feel they work in pointless, meaningless jobs, research confirms
Tony Trueman | Phys.org
The theory that many people feel the work they do is pointless because their jobs are “bullshit” has been confirmed by a new study.
The research found that people working in finance, sales and managerial roles are much more likely than others on average to think their jobs are useless or unhelpful to others.
