NoDesk: Issue #403 – NoDesk

A weekly newsletter with the best new remote jobs, stories and ideas from the remote work community, and occasional offbeat pieces to feed your curiosity.

This issue is brought to you by Granola.

Looking for an AI notetaker for your meetings?

Granola is a lot more.

Most AI note-takers just transcribe what was said and send you a summary after the call. Granola is an AI notepad. And that difference matters.

You start with a clean, simple notepad. You jot down what matters to you and, in the background, Granola transcribes the meeting.

When the meeting ends, Granola uses your notes to generate clearer summaries, action items, and next steps, all from your point of view.

Then comes the powerful part: you can chat with your notes. Use Recipes (pre-made prompts) to write follow-up emails, pull out decisions, prep for your next meeting, or turn conversations into real work in seconds.

Think of it as a super-smart notes app that actually understands your meetings.

Download Granola and try it for your next meeting. Free month with the code NODESK.

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

Andrew Van Dam | The Washington Post

Our analysis shows how the odds of working change as you change — and some surprising recent shifts in who’s most likely to work at home.

Carolyn Crist | HR Drive

The program’s interactive modules focus on productivity, collaboration, leadership and long-term career growth in the remote economy.

Business Today Desk

The long-running battle between work-from-home and office attendance appears to be nearing its end. According to Sander van’t Noordende, global chief executive of hiring firm Randstad, the so-called return-to-office war is effectively over, with companies increasingly resetting expectations around where and how employees work.

Jessica Grose | The New York Times

Certainly the job market seems grim in this moment. Michael Madowitz, the principal economist at the Roosevelt Institute, described it as “an awful traffic jam.” “If you’re just out of college, you’re trying to merge into a freeway and nobody is letting you in,” he explained.

Eva Roytburg | Fortune

There’s something missing in this boom: the jobs. Hiring this year, at best, has stalled, and at worst has collapsed: unemployment has climbed to 4.6%, and even Fed Chair Jerome Powell has warned recent data may be overstating job gains.

Sydney Lake | Fortune

This year’s job market has been bleak, to say the least. Layoffs hit the highest level in 14 years; job openings are barely budging; and quits figures are plummeting. It’s no wonder people feel stuck and discouraged—especially as many candidates have been on the job hunt for a year.

Our study provides a comprehensive characterization of which features of the college experience are more and less valuable during the high-stakes, first-job matching process.

I am mass cooked. Like actually cooked. Please learn from my mistakes.

Kiera Feldman | LA Times

The air you breathe on airplanes comes directly from the jet engines. Known as bleed air, it is safe, unless there is a mechanical issue — a faulty seal, for instance. When that happens, heated jet engine oil can leak into the air supply, potentially releasing toxic gases into the plane.
