🚔 The Remote Work Dilemma: Any company that isn't as remote as it's biggest competitor will perish

49,000 responses to one on Linkedin
3,000 responses to the other on Twitter
- 8 in 10 people want to work remotely majority of time

- 1 in 3 people want to work remotely full-time
The most interesting thing is that as I continue to poll with these questions the number of people who want remote most of the time and all the time grows
Let me make 1 thing clear, and I cannot stress this enough:
Any company that forces everyone back to the office full-time will not make it through this decade
Office work & culture extracted a massive toll on quality of life as commutes elongated, time in the office extended, and time for the things and people we care about most dropped
Remote work is not about the future of work
Remote work is a bridge to a higher quality of life
What people need after a global pandemic isn't an office
People need human contact but is that from colleagues or do you want to hug your parents?
Is that in meetings or do you want to eat dinner with friends?
Is that at the water cooler or travelling and seeing the world?
Theory: remote workers know the best remote workers
