If you've walked away from an awkward or uncomfortable interaction at the office wondering what happened to good manners, you aren't wrong in thinking nobody knows how to behave at work any more. Years after remote work became prevalent during the pandemic - and under hybrid arrangements that have permitted employees to continue working from home since - the workplace has become far less formal, and less attuned to the often unwritten rules of modern workplace behavior.

Despite the ways in which its forced some uncomfortable adjustment, it's ultimately allowed for a more work-life balance, with the scale slightly tipping more towards life for many. In fact, the "microshifting" trend that's recently surfaced on social media, which references the idea of breaking up your work day into shorter blocks of time so that real-life responsibilities can be squeezed in, proves that with the right kind of strategy, there's always time to do it all.

While laptops and Wi-Fi made location independence possible, immigration systems remain built around assumptions that no longer fit modern work. Most countries that offer remote work or digital nomad visas do so cautiously, relying on one blunt tool to manage risk: income thresholds. If you can prove you earn a fixed amount every month, you're welcome. If your income fluctuates, arrives in bursts, or doesn't fit neatly into payroll documents, the door often closes even if you are financially stable in practice.

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.
