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

Thomas Ricker | The Verge

I’ve worked from home for 20 years. In that time, I’ve seen technologies supporting remote work advance considerably. But nothing has been as transformative as the arrival of Starlink, SpaceX’s internet service that lets me “work from home” anywhere I choose, be it from the open road, forest, or desolate beach.

The roadmap states that the Act could tackle AI in the workplace, especially the use of AI-driven software to manage workers. The EU has already discussed and passed rules for these kind of uses of AI in the case of workers providing services through platform companies like Uber. But the Commission is considering going further.

The Quality Jobs Act will also build on input from employers and unions regarding conditions related to remote work – centring around a potential “right to disconnect”.

Our Culture

Remote work has changed so much about how we live, but one of the biggest shifts is happening in places many people didn’t expect. Second homes, once reserved for long weekends or summer getaways, are turning into something more flexible and practical.

The guidance explains when working remotely might mean a company is considered to have a permanent establishment in another country.

Employees leave employers when their work arrangements fail to match their preferences, according to new research that tracked 482 workers over two years across Australia and Europe.

Tim Paradis | Business Insider

The frustrations of applying for jobs can make it easy to blame technology. Yet often, labor market observers say, it’s people, not bots, who reject a résumé.

Devika Rao | The Week

Younger workers are embracing career minimalism, in which they move between job opportunities rather than strive for upward mobility. The method could provide more security, flexibility and fulfillment.

Steph Solis | Axios

The increased pressure to bring people back to the office four or more days a week is prompting employees to get creative about their schedules.

White-collar jobs are viewed as more vulnerable to disruption by AI and automation than manual labour. In Britain, one in six employers expect the use of AI tools to allow them to reduce their headcount in the next 12 months, according to a survey last month conducted by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, a professional human resources body.

The cheap and chilled ‘beach office’ loses its charm and takes a personal and financial toll.
