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

They’re going to make sure by withholding raises and promotions.

One major trend that we are spending a lot of time studying is the rise of place-based organizations such as business improvement districts and place-based civic alliances. These organizations are typically some variation of a public-private partnership, and because they are place-based, they enjoy very high levels of trust from their stakeholders. We see companies collaborating together and all sorts of creative experimentation between these organizations and governments.

Amazon isn’t the only major company cracking down on remote work — the tech giant joins other companies, including Citigroup, Walmart and UPS, in requiring workers to spend more time in offices in recent months.

Even so, the share of people working remotely and hybrid has ticked up in the last year, while those working from an office full-time declined, according to a new report.

Rosabeth Moss Kanter | The Wall Street Journal

It might seem radical. But giving employees a say could create wide workforce support for tackling problems and moving the business in new directions.

Cathy Bussewitz | AP

Companies exploring the option of letting employees work four days a week hope to reduce job burnout and retain talent seeking a better work-life balance, according to the chief executive of an organization that promotes the idea.

Many of us have embraced remote work because it liberates us from distractions and unproductive meetings, often hailed as the cornerstones of “office culture.” It especially benefits those of us on the spectrum, who need a quiet place where we can focus.

Vanessa Fuhrmans, Katherine Bindley, Chip Cutter | Wall Street Journal

Amazon’s CEO just called everyone back to the office full time. If you thought your two days a week at home were safe, think again.

Jeanne Sahadi | CNN

Whenever a big player publicly cracks the whip on requiring employees to be in the office full time, the worry is that other employers will follow suit.

But for two key reasons, these kinds of public proclamations don’t signal a broader demise of remote work benefits.

| Fortune

“The idea that being on-site all day every day is necessary to establish and sustain a strong culture is a myth,” the report concludes. “Don’t be afraid to offer flexible options for fear of diminishing it.”

The Economist

It is unfair to blame remote workers for gentrifying neighbourhoods and raising rents.
