Top PicksHand-picked articles, stories and ideas from the remote work community and beyond. How to quit like a bossJames Brady Along the way, I’ve seen quite a few people quit, fired a few people, and made some pretty big mis-steps when planning my own departure. The goal of this post is to summarise some patterns and anti-patterns, so that in the future you or I can leave our roles in the most professional and positive way possible. It’s Time to Embrace Slow ProductivityCal Newport | The New Yorker The central goal of Slow Productivity is to keep an individual worker’s volume at a sustainable level. A natural fear is that by reducing the amount of work each employee tackles at any given time, it might reduce the total amount of work an organization is able to complete, making it less competitive. This fear is unfounded. Omicron has exposed corporate leaders’ lack of vision about remote workGleb Tsipursky | Fortune Thus, in response to Omicron, companies like Google, Uber, and Ford have been bringing out the same old “delay the office reopening” play that they used with Delta.

Working was pointless at best and 'degrading, humiliating and exploitative' at worst, says Reddit moderator behind the influential 'antiwork'Stephen Jones | Business Insider A moderator of a viral “antiwork” Reddit thread has said she left traditional employment because much of her work was “degrading, humiliating and exploitative.” The thread — r/antiwork — has almost 1.6 million members and is part of a movement toward the “antiwork” rejection of the traditional idea of a nine-to-five job in favor of more leisure and fulfillment. Tulsa’s innovative program supports remote workers and economic development through COVID-19 and beyondDan Kreiter, Gareth Lewis | McKinsey & Company Tulsa Remote’s program to attract and support remote workers has become even more relevant during the pandemic and has big ambitions for the future of work. Why We’re Switching to A Four-Day WorkweekRyan Breslow | Bolt Here’s what many of us know but can be tough to admit: Work will fill the space you give to it. My bet is that we’re going to become vastly more efficient from Monday to Thursday. We’ll trim those excess meetings; we won’t send unnecessary communications. Because we’ll have less time, we’ll get more concrete work done. Is It Time to Embrace Work-From-Home Forever?Priya Anand | Bloomberg All the canceled return-to-office targets have the cumulative effect of making each new deadline seem less credible. After all, the major tech companies seem to be doing just fine with remote work. Future of work: we just smash keyboard buttons all dayFinally accepting the reality that remote work + a few yearly meetups + localized co working is mostly the future for all jobs where we just smash keyboard buttons all day Sybil and Blake have really taken to remote workSupport NoDeskAll of the content on NoDesk and the newsletter is available for free to everyone.
