Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed my weekday afternoon naps and time away from co-workers. But I've also come to realize that before the pandemic, we were putting a little bit too much gas on working from home. Is WFH convenient? You bet your ass it is. Waking up and not having to get out of bed - or get in the shower or get dressed because I'm taking all my meetings with the camera off - is a lifestyle I've come to appreciate.

Between March 2020 and March 2023, appreciated 36.1% in rural areas, more than doubling their rate of growth in the preceding three-year period, according to analysis conducted by researchers at the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies. In areas with high percentages of seasonal second homes and vacation properties, the surge was even more pronounced at 46.8%, rising from 17.4% from 2016 to 2019, a new working paper by Harvard JCHS' Alexander Hermann and Peyton Whitney finds. Alongside the appeal of nearby natural attractions, such as lakes and mountains, the communities also offer robust infrastructure aimed at supporting traffic flows brought by the tourism industry.

Remote work became a necessity in 2020, when lockdown orders were in place across the U.S. at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing employees to skip their commute -and complete their daily to-do list from the comfort of their couch. From being able to finish that load of laundry after your morning meeting to taking your dog outside for a midday walk, you don't need us to tell you there's much to love about working from home.

The answer depends on how your home and office are set up and what kind of connection you need. Wi-Fi routers are so good these days that a single access point is often the most straightforward solution. But if you have a larger home or your office is located far away from your router, a mesh network could be a game-changer, boosting the signal no matter where you are.

While only 4% of working people in France worked remotely in 2019, more than one out of every five employees does so today. Employee monitoring has developed in parallel, explains Vincent Meyer, a professor and researcher in labor sociology at EM Normandie Business School. He analyzes how digital tools are redefining trust between employers and employees, and how young professionals, seeking autonomy and balance, are adapting to this new environment.

Your boss has never had more ways to peer over your shoulder. It's not new for bosses to watch workers, of course - especially on corporate devices. But technology updates that let employers better monitor whether you're in the office, or view texts on employer-owned devices, are giving employers even more control. Employer surveillance has grown because of the rise of remote work, and because of a proliferation of tools that allow for monitoring, a recent report from the US Government Accountability Office found.

Today's case examines how one cryptocurrency exchange navigated two major resets in a single year. The first was moving to a fully remote workforce, and the second was adopting a policy that explicitly banned political and social activism at work, sparking an intense debate about leadership, culture, and the boundaries of corporate engagement in social issues. Oh, and if that weren't enough, these decisions came at a pivotal moment just as the company was preparing for its historic IPO.

Working from home suits many people's needs because of the flexibility and the lack of a lengthy commute. But with remote work really only becoming popular in the last 20 or 30 years, many homes and rented apartments don't feature ready-made office spaces. As a result, the kitchen is often chosen as an office alternative due to its typically large size and proximity to convenient appliances like coffee makers and kettles.

SpaceX began launching Starlink satellites in 2019 to provide data in the large gaps that still exist between 4G, 5G, and traditional broadband networks. It now has a monopoly on high-bandwidth, low-latency internet that can be quickly and easily installed anywhere, be it land, sea, or air, or in response to a natural disaster. Other consumer satellite internet services exist with more scheduled to come,

Seven out of 10 companies have formal RTO policies requiring some in-office time. A surprising 93% of business leaders believe being in the office is necessary. Fully flexible setups (remote or employee's choice) dropped from 39% of jobs to 28% between 2023 and 2024. Only 7% of companies allow fully remote work in 2025, down from 21% in 2024. While 44% of employees say they'd comply with a 5-day office mandate, 41% would start looking for other work, and 14% would quit.

Some of these positions require plenty of experience before you earn $75,000, but others pay enough to allow you to boost your bank account soon after beginning your career.

Public Wi-Fi has become an essential part of daily business life in London. From cafés and co-working spaces to hotels and trains, employees and entrepreneurs rely on wireless networks to stay connected on the move. Yet as Wi-Fi usage grows, so does the risk. Over the past five years, cybersecurity reports have consistently shown that public hotspots remain one of the easiest entry points for attackers. Business travellers, remote workers, and small companies-especially those without dedicated IT teams-are often the most exposed.

Working remotely can be a blessing and a curse. Sure, it's nice to work from your bed, in sweats, with no one to judge your snacking habits. But do it for too long and you might get cabin fever. Working in public spaces can be a great way to get out of the house, meet new people and get to know your city. And yes, we mean beyond the closest Starbucks to where you live.

A 2025 National Bureau of Economic Research study found that remote career professionals save about 72 minutes a day by bypassing a commute, but only reinvest 40% of that time back into the company. That's not exactly taking hours away from a day on the job, but workplace experts say it's the tip of the proverbial iceberg on the larger issue of so-called "office freeloading."

New research sheds some light on why that might be. In a recent paper, a team of economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the University of Virginia and Harvard University found that younger workers suffered career-wise by working from home, receiving less training and fewer opportunities for advancement. The economists found that remote work even contributed to higher unemployment among younger workers.
