It was then that I realized how much time was wasted on commute, and during “gap hours” sometimes occurring between classes. Almost 2 years ago I started working in IT, fully remotely and my life has changed immensely for the better. It feels like each day has more hours, I have built the workspace I always dreamed of in the comforts of my home. I find myself very productive and little to no time is wasted. It is important, however, to have well established comms with the entire team both for the projects to proceed smoothly and to develop a level of camaraderie. I have better connection with my friends from remote work than I had as a teacher with other teachers. I love it, and I would love to see the reshaping of space in cities to have more residential places, green areas and entertainment services.

Podcasts to Motivate Remote Business Growth

Hybrid and remote work provide us an opportunity for a re-widening, a dispersal of human capital that unwinds some of the concentration to urban areas we’ve seen over the last century, restoring a better balance. Later, modern theorists understood the office as a factory-like environment. Even his concessions to the office environment, such as flowers, were intended to increase productivity. Deol noted that most employment agreements today have a clause that prohibits employees from working for another company. He said he’s heard of workers taking on 9-to-5 and 5-to-1 shifts or working two jobs during the day to free up their evenings.

Remote workers who are juggling multiple jobs may consider keeping track of their schedule with digital calendars. Some employees keep a second job as a secret from their employer. Despite those frictions, the movement is gaining momentum. Choudhury outlined three ways governments and employers can support the shift to work-from-anywhere. These “frictions of geographic mobility,” as he calls them, could be solved by a work-from-anywhere approach. To be clear, this isn’t necessarily about working from home in your loungewear 20 minutes from the office just to avoid the 5 p.m. Work-from-anywhere focuses more on choosing to settle in a desired geographic location while retaining a job elsewhere—the best of both worlds for many people.

Knowledge workers like me, who move out of the city, make urban spaces more affordable for essential workers who staff hospitals and restaurants. Meanwhile, small towns and cities that were hollowed out by deindustrialization over the last 30 years get an influx of new residents to support their tax base. Again, the majority of jobs don’t allow for remote work, but a great deal of wealth is concentrated among the jobs that do. Empowering or even encouraging those workers to live wherever they want could have a positive impact on the affordability of cities and the economic health of rural communities.

If you get left disabled with long covid, no employer will care to help, that’s for sure. I dont see why employees should help companies paying their rent. I think the one thing you failed to think about is the shift of highly paid remote workers to lower cost states and communities. They have more money to buy real estate and drive up the cost of buying a home for all those lower paid residents.
