Remote work was expected to eliminate location biases, but many employees find that proximity to management significantly impacts career advancement. New research indicates a notable percentage of workers fear that living far from the office diminishes their chances for promotion. Managers may unconsciously favor those they see regularly, leading to a workplace culture that privileges local employees over remote talent, potentially creating two classes of workers based on geographic location rather than capability or performance.
Many workers say they'd be willing to move farther from city centers, or even across borders, if it meant more affordable housing or better support from family.
Employees who aren't physically close to their bosses are noticing fewer opportunities coming their way, not because they've underperformed, but because they've become less visible.
