Two years ago, you would have thought I was a fool for saying that nearly every white-collar professional would be working from home. If I added that people can be just as productive remotely as being in an office setting, I’d be met with mocking derision. You’d laugh at hearing me say new online video technologies would connect remote workers with their co-workers and bosses so seamlessly that they’d use it too much and it’d become tiresome.

Working from home often pays more than working in an office for jobs in the tech industry, new research has claimed. HR company Remote collected data on more than six million jobs ads from 2022 from employee resource Glassdoor and found that web developer and software engineering roles had the most amount of remote opportunities compared to other professions, making up 37% and 36% of the total remote job market respectively.

The pandemic has completely transformed people’s working lives. Employees across industries have gotten used to remote work, and they want to hold onto it, fighting back against efforts to bring them back into the office, and experts warning that if companies don’t welcome remote work, they risk losing talent.

Most people in the world hate their job, especially their boss, according to a 2019 global poll conducted by Gallup, the US analytics and consulting company. The statistic is staggering, but if you could put things into perspective, you would feel much better.

Make the case for working remotely — but not so much that your job gets outsourced.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has taken a hardline stance against his employees working from home, Electrek and Bloomberg report. In an email apparently sent to the company’s executive staff with the subject line “Remote work is no longer acceptable,” the CEO said employees must spend a minimum of 40 hours per week in the office, or else “depart Tesla.” He said this should be a “main Tesla office,” and not a “remote branch office.”

Staff at iPhone and laptop giant Apple are reportedly so unhappy with the company’s return-to-office policy that half of all workers is considering to leave. In March, Apple informed most of its employees they would be expected to return to the office on 11 April, and the company made clear it expects its staff to be back in the office full-time overtime.

Earlier this month, Apple had employees return to work at the corporate office in a hybrid format. The process has been gradual. They’re currently in the office one day per week, but according to company policy, by May 23 employees will need to be in office at least three days per week.

Microsoft's Teams communications and collaboration platform topped 270 million monthly active users in the December quarter, continuing to add users but at a much slower pace than in the initial…

Zoom fatigue may be a real condition, but for some people, the “constant mirror” effect of seeing their own faces didn’t appear to make virtual meetings more unpleasant, a Washington State University study has found.

The world of event planning has inevitably changed ever since the global pandemic hit. Even though we have vaccines now, we still have to be careful about bigger groups of people meeting in person. Here is how you can plan a successful and safe live event in 2022.
