The workplace shift that makes you feel you're picking up co-workers' slack
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"For example, among professionals in occupations that can be done remotely, 35% to 40% worked remotely on Thursdays and Fridays in 2024, compared with only 15% in 2019. On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, nearly 30% worked remotely, versus 10% to 15% five years earlier. And white-collar employees have also become more likely to log off from work early on Fridays. They're starting the weekend sooner than before the pandemic, whether while working at an office or remotely as the workweek comes to a close."
The Independent reports across topics such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and invests in investigative projects like examining the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing the documentary 'The A Word' that highlights American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet rejects paywalls and relies on donations so journalism remains accessible and reporters can be dispatched to speak to both sides. Remote work patterns have shifted since the COVID-19 pandemic: 35–40% of remote-capable professionals worked remotely on Thursdays and Fridays in 2024 versus 15% in 2019; nearly 30% worked remotely Monday–Wednesday versus 10–15% earlier, and many white-collar employees log off early on Fridays, indicating a diluted barrier between the workweek and the weekend.
