Sean Blanda, 2020
What's inside?
Is remote work the white-collar future? Sean Blanda discusses the potent downsides of working from home.
Recommendation
In this hard-nosed look at the touted benefits of remote work, Sean Blanda describes the darker side of a practice that COVID-19 thrust upon many employees. He considers whether remote work’s supposed independence, convenience and productivity come at too high a price. As the threat of COVID-19 levels off or, in time, recedes, Blanda recommends that companies offer employees flexible work options, rather than making remote work the defining feature of the future workplace.
