7 reasons why Remote Work will lead to a higher quality of life for millions of people
[ a thread ]💻🏠🌍
❤️ Closer Relationships: The office leads to shallow superficial relationships that lack depth & breadth with inane interactions to pad out 8H days
More time with the people you care about most allows you to forge deeper bonds and have the human connection 'social animals' need
⚖️ Diversity Equality Inclusion: Whether you're a single parent, caring for another person, or have a health condition or impairment that makes the office impossible, access to opportunity should be universal
Few things are as important as remote work to help ensure that it is
🌍 Live Anywhere: The highest paying jobs for the most exciting companies have historically been in the biggest cities
90%+ of people never want to work in a city globally. Not being handcuffed to an office and having no daily commute enables workers to live wherever they choose
💰 Disposable Income: Workers waste a lot of money getting to work, buying the 'uniform' they need, and on food or other things associated
Full-time remote workers save $5K-$8K per year by not having to live in an expensive city, own two cars, or pay for things they don't need
📆 Schedule Flexibility: 9-5 working is designed for the collective. Remote work is personalized to the individual
Working when you're most productive, drop and collect kids from school, recharge with an afternoon run produces better outcomes for individuals and their employers
✈️ Travel More: A requirement to be in an office every day prevents you from being able to spend time in other locations
Remote work will empower an entire generation to travel while continuing to work
🧘♀️ Health and Wellbeing: A 2H daily commute and 8H sat in an office chair prevents you from having the time to focus on your health and wellbeing
Remote work lets workers take control and prioritize the things that are most important. That means time for hobbies and self-care

Physical retail is no longer economically viable because eCommerce is more convenient, cheaper, and it offers far more flexibility, control, and choice.
