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

Will You Make Good on Your New Year’s Resolution?

Stefanie Fernández | Harvard Business Review

We all tend to make resolutions that are aspirational—and thus quickly abandoned. And when societal systems are failing—in the form of widespread isolation and loneliness, wage exploitation and theft, violence, and mass death—it feels harder than ever to maintain a personal one that works.

Is there a better way? As 2024 turns to 2025, three new books aim to provide insights.

Seven ways to be a successful remote-working manager

Olga Epitropaki, Anders Friis Marstand, Ilias Kapoutsis | The Conversation

Our recent research shows that in remote contexts, what matters most is something we have termed the “psychological distance” separating workers from their leader. By psychological distance, we mean how connected staff feel to their managers.

In addition, we found that leaders can still keep their teams close despite being separated physically.

Seattle, the remote work capital of the U.S., is in denial about its effects

Danny Westneat | The Seattle Times

Seattle has led the nation in remote work among the 20 largest cities, for the five-year period from 2019 through 2023, new census figures show. The gap between Seattle and many other cities is surprisingly wide.

Meet the People Who Refused to Go Back to the Office and Lost Their Jobs

Callum Borchers | The Wall Street Journal

These people are coming to terms with the fact that they might never work from home again.

Study: Remote Work Policies Are Leaving Lower-Paid Workers Behind

Sarah Lynch | Inc.

Recent data shows that higher-income workers are holding on to remote work privileges more than their lower-paid counterparts.

Packed Cubicles, Empty Corner Office: Remote Work Is Increasingly a Right of the Rich

Rachel Greenley | The New York Times

The shift from back to the office is not only ungrounded in research; it is also damaging, particularly for people with disabilities and for caregivers. During the pandemic, employment for workers with a disability rose by 22 percent.

Remote work is a game-changer for addressing burnout in workers

Claudine Mangen | The Conversation

Research indicates that remote work provides employees with greater autonomy, time savings and flexibility, enabling better work-life balance and contributing to addressing burnout.

Return-to-office mandates are associated with an exodus of high performers, research finds

Sasha Rogelberg | Fortune

A working paper from associate professor of business administration Mark Ma and colleagues found that prominent technology and finance companies who implemented return-to-office (RTO) mandates lost their most skilled and senior employees. When they tried to fill job vacancies left by those workers, they had a harder time doing so.

Dissatisfied with the office? Hybrid workers opt for remote work instead

Helsinki Times

A new study by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health shows that dissatisfaction with office conditions in the hybrid work era leads employees to opt for remote work. The primary complaints remain unchanged: a lack of peaceful working conditions and poor usability of the office premises. However, the consequences are different now, as workers have the option to stay home if their needs are not met.

N Korea made millions from remote work scheme, US says

João da Silva | BBC

A federal court in St Louis has indicted 14 North Koreans for allegedly being part of a long-running conspiracy aimed at extorting funds from US companies and funneling money to Pyongyang’s weapons programmes.

The wider scheme allegedly involves thousands of North Korean IT workers who use false, stolen, and borrowed identities from people in the US and other countries to get hired and work remotely for US firms.

Why conversations are better with four people

Rhys Blakely | The Times

Three might be a crowd but four appears to be the magic number when it comes to conversation. And, according to an academic who has spent decades studying how we socialise, William Shakespeare instinctively understood that.

People who are good at reading have different brains

Mikael Roll | The Conversation

The number of people who read for fun appears to be steadily dropping. Fifty percent of UK adults say they don’t read regularly (up from 42% in 2015) and almost one in four young people aged 16-24 say they’ve never been readers, according to research by The Reading Agency.

But what are the implications?
