Hand-picked articles, stories and ideas from the remote work community and beyond.

Decades before COVID imposed remote work on the world, Jack Nilles pioneered WFH and championed its many benefits.

The possible shift back to entirely in-person work has sparked a very interesting debate. This move is probably less a return to the past than a sign that companies are still searching for the right balance. The hybrid model is not flawless, but neither is the in-person model. What is worrying is the number of decisions being made without dialogue or regard for the life changes that remote work made possible.

Does it get easier after the first year or is this just what it is forever?

Work location trends have remained stable since 2022, reflecting the durability of the hybrid work model.

I saw a couple at a cafe today holding hands and just felt this wave of loneliness hit me, they’re building a life together and I’m building a story for social media that makes it look like I’m having the time of my life. I think this looked so much better from the outside, now I’m here and just feel disconnected from everything and everyone.
