Dropbox let employees work remotely and saw record-high turnover. Then it offered in-person retreats. Retention soared

Paolo Confino | Fortune

Before COVID-19 upended the workplace status quo in the spring of 2020, some 97% of Dropbox employees worked from the office. By that fall, the initial shock of the pandemic had subsided, but many employees believed they’d return to the office once vaccines became widely available.

Hybrid Work’s Sweet Spot

Colleen Walsh | Harvard Magazine

Does hybrid work harm the bottom line? As organizations across the United States wrestle with post-COVID office policies, researchers at Harvard Business School (HBS) present evidence for an optimally productive blended office-and-home schedule. Their findings may help managers cope with the shift to remote work that is transforming the professional landscape.

Remote work has become a right for knowledge workers. The data says we should create more fully remote jobs

Chantel Rowe | Fortune

Because I manage products for global talent mobility (business travel, relocations, distributed workforces, etc.), I speak frequently with CEOs and HR leaders who fear that remote work is a looming disaster. Their fears largely stem from false assumptions.

Remote Work Trends Are Rapidly Infiltrating Airport Spaces

Matthew Parsons | Skift

With the return of business travelers to the skies, more flexible office providers are honing in on airports as havens for remote workers.

The scourge of job-title inflation

The Economist

Does anyone else just feel... burned out? Disjointed? Stretched thin, like butter scraped over too much bread?

amoveablefis | Reddit

I’m done wandering alone, it’s finally broken my brain. No amount of cool vistas and exotic adventures can replace a sense of belonging for me in an actual community. I’m now planning to settle in my current country of residence long-term.

What should I get done before my new life as a nomad?

error_therror | Reddit

This summer I’m gonna be able to nomad. As of right now, I’m saving like crazy. Got a remote job where I can work wherever. Is there anything I need to get done before life on the road? My plan is to spend about a year around Europe, coming back home to the US for a bit, then Asia for about a year.

This spring, I’ll put most of my possessions in a storage unit. what else should I get done?

Dusko 📷 @bajicdusko
