How Remote Workers Can Overcome Proximity Bias

Remote but not forgotten: Ameliorating the negative effects of professional isolation through family supportive supervisor behaviors and schedule flexibility.
Trzebiatowski, T. M., Henle, C. A | Journal of Business and Psychology
We found employees who experience higher levels of professional isolation feel more depletion and less global and cognitive job engagement with the results not differing between the two. Further, employees who have a misalignment of resources (low family supportive supervisor behaviors paired with high schedule flexibility; high family supportive supervisor behaviors paired with low schedule flexibility) feel the depleting effects of professional isolation on cognitive engagement (and not global job engagement) more strongly than when both resources are high and when both resources are low.
Can foreigners really be responsible for driving house (and other) prices up all around the world?
Gino-Solow | Reddit
As I keep seeing it everywhere on country subreddits: Mexico, Spain, Serbia, France, Georgia, Turkey… Everywhere locals seem to think that they cannot afford to live in their home towns because of AirBnBs and foreign tourists / rich foreign retirees/expats.
But with the exception, perhaps, of selected central boroughs of popular cities where short term rentals may indeed raise accomodation costs, surely this cannot generally be the case everywhere. If all these foreigners move TO a place they also move OUT of another place thus reducing the demand for goods and services there. But prices are rising everywhere be it Toronto or London or Mexico City or Malaga.
