Microsoft Teams appears to be suffering an outage, as users in major cities across the country are reporting issues.
Teams has become an important part of many companies’ workflow, especially in the transition to remote work. In fact, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has said the platform is becoming “critical infrastructure.”
Unfortunately for many Teams users, the application appears to be experiencing outages Wednesday morning. Some users on DownDetector are reporting chopping video, messages that only show up after quitting and reopening the app, messages not showing up at all and more.
The issues appear to be widespread, across the entire country, with one user reporting issues in Mexico City as well.
Microsoft has acknowledged the issue, but has not yet provided an ETA on a fix.
We're investigating an issue in which users located in North America may be experiencing delays when receiving chat messages within Microsoft Teams. Additional information can be found in the admin center under TM240228.
We've determined that Teams live events may also be impacted by this issue, and we've confirmed that users located in South America may also experience impact. Additional information can be found in the admin center under TM240228.
It’s the brand that won’t die, as OnwardMobility has announced it is bringing a 5G Blackberry with traditional keyboard to market in 2021.
Once the king of the smartphone arena, Blackberry was the device of choice for professionals and consumers alike. The company was known for enterprise-grade mobile software, combined with the best QUERTY keyboard in the business.
Unfortunately for the company, the introduction of the iPhone caught it off-guard and it lost its dominance. Since then, the core company has switched its focus to software, with a strong emphasis on security. Meanwhile, Blackberry has licensed the right to create Blackberry hardware to outside companies, OnwardMobility being the current one.
According to an interview with Naoki Watanabe, a writer with Nikkei, CEO and Founder Peter Franklin said OnwardMobility is planning to bring 5G-enabled Blackberry phones, complete with the quintessential QUERTY keyboard, to the US and Europe in 2021. While there is not a definite timeline, OnwardMobility hopes to release in Asia as soon as possible.
“It is a global flagship device, and Asia is very important to us,” Franklin said . “We are in the process of speaking to customers and mobile carriers on a global scale to develop our distribution plan.”
Franklin and company are hoping to capitalize on the current remote work trends as a result of the pandemic. Because more people are working from home, there is a renewed focus on mobile devices that can help them be more productive, with Franklin touting the new Blackberry as just such a device.
“Our smartphones equipped with a physical keyboard can help boost productivity”, Franklin added.
It remains to be seen if OnwardMobility will be able to make a dent in the market, but there’s sure to be at least some demand for a powerful, modern Blackberry, not to mention that legendary keyboard.
Zillow CEO Rich Barton has warned that a hybrid work model could lead to a two-class system of employees.
The pandemic has forced companies to reimagine the workforce, adapting to unprecedented conditions. As a result, more employees are working from home than ever before. Companies, especially in the tech industry, are increasingly adopting various forms of remote, flex, or hybrid work options permanently.
Barton, however, sees a risk of a dual-class system developing. This is especially a concern with hybrid work, where some employees are in the office and some remote, or where some workers only come in a day or two a week..
“We must ensure a level playing field for all team members, regardless of their physical location,” Barton said in an earnings call. “There cannot be a two-class system — those in the room being first-class and those on the phone being second-class.”
Other tech executives have similarly warned of the dangers of a hybrid workforce, with some companies going all-in on full remote as the solution.
Zillow CEO Rich Barton comments during Q4 Earnings Call:
Of course, there are challenges to not being in the office together, but that is temporal. In a post-COVID world, our workplace design goal is to maximize flexibility for our high demand talent. We will have awesome offices for those who want or need to come in. At the same time, we must ensure a level playing field for all team members, regardless of their physical location. There cannot be a two-class system, those in the room being first-class and those on the phone being second class. We are entering the most interesting and innovative period for workplace design in our lifetimes, and our people and facilities teams at Zillow are out in front.
Spotify has announced it will allow employees to work from home permanently, joining a growing list of companies that have made the switch.
Dubbed its “Work From Anywhere” program, Spotify is allowing employees to choose how and where they want to work. That includes working full-time at home, the office or a hybrid of the two.
The company is also becoming more flexible with the geographic location of its employees, allowing them to live and work from the city or country of their choice. There may be some limitations, due to regulatory or timezone challenges, but the company is clearly working to provide as much flexibility as possible. For employees that want some office time, but may not live near a Spotify office, the company will help them with a co-working space membership.
In the wake of the pandemic, companies are adapting to the changing circumstances by offering employees a greater degree of flexibility. Salesforce, Dropbox, Reddit, Twitter, Microsoft and Google have all committed to varying degrees of permanent remote work or flexible work options.
Employees, meanwhile, have grown accustomed to remote work, and want it to continue after the pandemic. In fact, half of workers would be willing to give up vacation days in exchange for remote work, while 29% would quit their job before returning to the office.
It’s a safe bet Spotify won’t be the last company to adopt more flexible work options moving forward.
A new poll has revealed major changes in the American workforce, with some 23% of respondents moving from a big city due to remote work.
Blind is an anonymous network of verified professionals that communicate, share advice, provide feedback and more. Blind conducted a survey of some 6,135 professionals, between January 29 and February 8, 2021.
Since work from home (WFM) began, 23% of respondents said they have already relocated out of a major city, while 19% said “not yet,” likely indicating they are at least considering it.
The cities registering the largest exodus were San Francisco/Bay Area (47%), Seattle (16%) and New York City (14%). Austin, Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami and Raleigh collectively made up another 22%.
Just as telling is where professionals have opted to move. Austin was the biggest single destination (15%), followed by Seattle (9%), Miami (7%) and Arizona (4%). Interestingly, 66% moved to “other cities,” which included Atlanta, Denver, Honolulu and Nashville. The most unique response was “exploring the US in a minivan while WFH from Airbnb.”
Blind’s survey is the latest indication that WFM is here to stay. Companies looking to attract top talent will need to provide remote work options to remain competitive.
“I believe SMBs deserve innovation,” says Bill.com CEO and founder Rene Lacarte. “That innovation that we focus on is around the digital processes that are lacking in the back office of SMBs. We’ve seen it in part with the pandemic showing that there’s a need for being digital and to be able to run your business from anywhere. It’s a requirement now. The pandemic reinvention is real and something that we think is going to stick around.”
Rene Lacarte, CEO of Bill.com, says that the pandemic reinvention is real for small and medium-sized businesses and that they need to innovate and digitize the back office:
SMBs Deserve Innovation
At the core of why I started the company is that I believe SMBs deserve innovation. That innovation that we focus on that I really believe is missing out there is around the digital processes that are lacking. We digitize the back office. Then we connect that back office to the banking system so money can move, to the accounting system so records can be reported, and to the accounting firms that they’re involved with.
All of that connection creates a connective tissue that operates and automates the financial operations. Because of that it’s driving demand, it’s driving opportunity, and it’s driving growth across our existing customers as well as the new customers coming in. That’s how we do it. That’s how we bring the back office into the back pocket.
Pandemic Reinvention Is Real For SMBs
Nobody gets into business to actually do the back office. I grew up in small businesses. My parents had small businesses. My grandparents had small businesses. A lot of our friends had small businesses. This was always the bane of existence. This is what people had to do on Friday night. Who wants to do this on a Friday night? That’s what people are doing when they’re trying to run their business from their back pocket when they don’t have the tools. They have to do it at night at home.
We take care of that. We automate the processes. That’s what’s driving the demand, it’s the opportunity. We’ve seen it in part with the pandemic showing that there’s a need for being digital. This opportunity to be able to run your business from anywhere is a requirement now. The pandemic reinvention is real and something that we think is going to stick around.
Pandemic Reinvention Is Real For SMBs, Says Bill.com CEO Rene Lacarte
Apple has started offering free battery replacements for 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pros with batteries that won’t charge past 1%.
According to Apple, “a very small number” of 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pros won’t charge above 1%. When looking in Systems Preferences > Battery > Battery Health, the status will show “Service Recommended.” If the status reads “Normal,” the machine is not affected.
Users with impacted models should contact Apple to arrange for a free replacement.
In the meantime, Apple has issued an update to macOS Big Sur and Catalina to prevent the problem from occurring with unaffected 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pros.
Salesforce is the latest company to embrace remote work and flexible office policies in the wake of a pandemic that has upended the workplace.
Brent Hyder, President & Chief People Officer, outlined the company’s strategy, as well as the research that led to it.
Early in the pandemic, Salesforce started using employee wellbeing surveys to get the pulse of how employees were doing and how they were adapting to the changing circumstances. Those surveys led to immediate changes, including office setup stipends, childcare benefits and extended parental leave.
The surveys also showed that nearly half of employees only want to go into the office a few times a month, but 80% of employees still want to keep a connection to the office. As a result, the company says employees will fall into three categories once it’s safe to return to the office.
The first category is Flex. The majority of the company’s staff will continue to work from home, only coming into the office 1-3 days per week.
The second category is Fully Remote. These employees will work remotely 100% of the time, either because they don’t live near an office or their work does not require office visits.
Office-based employees will make up the smallest percentage of the company’s workforce, and will be in the office 4-5 days a week if their jobs require it.
Salesforce also sees the potential to use remote work as a way to unlock access to new fresh talent and help create more equal opportunities.
This work-from-anywhere model will unlock new growth opportunities that will help us drive greater equality. Our talent strategy is no longer bound by barriers like location, so we can broaden our search beyond traditional city centers and welcome untapped talent from new communities and geographies.
The company is also redesigning its workspaces to emphasize community and collaboration, as opposed to traditional office cubicles.
Salesforce’s announcement makes it the latest major company to embrace the workplace transformation currently in progress. Dropbox, Reddit, Twitter, Microsoft, Google, and now Salesforce, are just a few of the companies acknowledging there’s no going back to the status quo post-pandemic.
Nissan may have unveiled the most unique remote work concept yet, the NV350, an Office Pod Concept camper van.
If the idea of sitting at the kitchen table or home office day in and day out seems boring, the NV350 Caravan may be the answer. Nissan’s Office Pod Concept is a caravan with a retractable office space loaded in the back, that can be extended using a smartphone.
NV350 Interior
The idea is to provide a truly mobile office, complete with desk, Herman Miller Cosm office chair, edge lighting and polycarbonate floor, not to mention a rooftop deck for relaxation.
NV350 Roof Deck
The NV350 has features specifically designed to help people deal with the pandemic, such as a glove box with an antibacterial UV lamp, as well as a DC/AC inverter to power any electrical devices.
It remains to be seen if the NV350 will be successful, or even see the light of day. Either way, it’s certainly an interesting concept that reflects just how much work has changed as a result of the pandemic.
Microsoft has unveiled “Viva,” a new employee experience platform (EXP) designed to integrate with Teams and Microsoft 365.
EXP is a $300 billion a year industry and is more important than ever during the pandemic. While an unprecedented number of employees are working from home, the response to remote work has been a mixed bag. The majority of employees want it to continue indefinitely, but many still struggle to feel connected with their coworkers or access the same resources available in the office.
Microsoft is looking to address these issues with Viva, while simultaneously disrupting the EXP industry.
Today we’re introducing Microsoft Viva, the first EXP built for the digital era. Microsoft Viva brings together communications, knowledge, learning, resources, and insights into an integrated experience that empowers people and teams to be their best, from anywhere. Powered by the full breadth and depth of Microsoft 365, it is experienced through Microsoft Teams and other Microsoft 365 apps that people use every day.
Viva will be rolled out in four modules: Viva Connections, Viva Insights, Viva Learning, and Viva Topics.
Viva Connections
Viva Connections is designed to help employees connect with each other, serving as the central point for employee interaction. This is especially useful for new hires who may never have been to the office or met their coworkers face-to-face. Leaders can host company town halls, while employees can access company news, policies, benefits and more, as well as join employee community groups.
Viva Insights
Viva Insights is designed to help employees, managers and leaders make better use of their time and prevent burnout. The module helps individuals maintain a healthy work balance, protecting time for breaks, focused work and learning. Managers can use the module to monitor the health of their team and see who is at risk of burnout, while company leaders can see overall trends impacting the entire organization.
Viva Learning
Viva Learning helps make learning a part of the everyday corporate culture. According to Microsoft’s LinkedIn, 94% of people would stay at a company longer if it invested in ongoing learning, making Viva Learning an important part of the platform.
Viva Topics
Microsoft describes Viva Topics as “a Wikipedia with AI superpowers for your organization.” It’s designed to save employees the estimated seven weeks a year spent searching for or re-creating information, putting all the company’s relevant knowledge and resources in a centralized place.
“There is no question that, over the last year, we have seen lasting structural change across ever aspect of our society and economy,” CEO Satya Nadella said when introducing Viva. “No area has undergone more rapid transformation than the way we work.”
“As the world recovers, there is no going back. Flexibility in when, where and how we work will be key,” Nadella added. “Today, we want to talk about what this means and how we’re ensuring every organization will have the technology required to support their employees and help them thrive in this new era of flexible work.”
Comcast is delaying its plans to impose data caps amid pushback from consumers and lawmakers alike.
Comcast announced in November that it would cap users at 1.2 TB per month, charging overage fees for those customers who exceeded that threshold. The plan was supposed to go into effect in January, although the company planned on providing a grace period before charging overages.
Needless to say, Comcast’s plans were met with widespread criticism and backlash. Many customers understandably pointed out the potential harm the decision could cause, especially in the middle of a pandemic when unprecedented numbers of employees are working from home.
Lawmakers were equally concerned, with members of Congress condemning the company, and Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro raising concerns. According to The Street, the cumulative concerns were enough to make Comcast rethink their decision, at least temporarily.
The company has said it is postponing its plans to impose data caps and overages. Although it’s not known when Comcast will resume those plans, customers will have a reprieve, at least for now.
Gartner is predicting companies will spend some $332.9 billion on remote work IT in 2021 as the digital transformation continues.
The coronavirus pandemic has sparked an unprecedented digital transformation, as organizations have turned to remote work, schools have turned to remote learning and individuals have had to rely on videoconferencing to stay in touch.
That trend is expected to continue full force for the next several years. In fact, Gartner predicts businesses will have to accelerate their digital transformation by at least five years through 2024, as they continue to deal with a permanently altered workforce — one where remote work is part of the new reality.
“There are a combination of factors pushing the devices market higher,” said John-David Lovelock, distinguished research vice president at Gartner.. “As countries continue remote education through this year, there will be a demand for tablets and laptops for students. Likewise, enterprises are industrializing remote work for employees as quarantine measures keep employees at home and budget stabilization allows CIOs to reinvest in assets that were sweated in 2020.”
As a result, Gartner predicts remote work-related global IT spending will reach $332.9 billion in 2021, an increase of 4.9% from 2020.
“Digital business represents the dominant technology trend in late 2020 and early 2021 with areas such as cloud computing, core business applications, security and customer experience at the forefront. Optimization initiatives, such as hyperautomation, will continue and the focus of these projects will remain on returning cash and eliminating work from processes, not just tasks,” said Mr. Lovelock.
Gartner’s report is the latest evidence that remote work has become a permanent part of society, with workers continuing to demonstrate their preference for it.
The pandemic has resulted in a major shift in software engineers, with 8 in 10 wanting remote or hybrid work options post-pandemic.
Terminal conducted a survey of 1,108 software engineers. The respondents were primarily from Canada, Mexico and Latin America, although also included ones from the US, Europe and Asia.
According to the survey, 80% of engineers want remote work anywhere from 60 to 100% of the time post-pandemic. 83% of respondents said they wanted some kind of hybrid option, allowing them to work from both home and office.
“The rise of the remote work movement, fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic’s stay-at-home orders, has established a new era of engineer expectations,” said Clay Kellogg, CEO of Terminal. “Our findings show that overall, engineers love the flexibility and benefits that remote work offers and aren’t going back to the old ways. Business leaders risk widening the tech talent shortage at their companies if they don’t build a long-term remote work strategy that focuses on mental health, flexible schedules and team-building.”
Terminal’s research is the latestindication that companies will need to make permanent changes if they want to retain top talent post-pandemic.
Facebook is facing backlash from workers in Ireland, as they demand the right to work from home amid the pandemic.
Like many companies, Facebook pushed back its return-to-office date as the pandemic drags on, allowing employees to work from home until July 2021. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to apply to content moderators that are working as contractors via a third-party.
Subcontractors for Dublin-based CPL claim Facebook has forced them to return to the office, even as Ireland is in the midst of a level five lockdown, according to The Verge. Level five means that nonessential retail is closed and household visits are forbidden.
The contractors have taken their complaint to Deputy Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, who has agreed to contact both Facebook and Covalen, a CPL subsidiary.
“They’ve made it abundantly clear that our health & safety and lives don’t matter to them,” said Paria Moshfeghi, a Facebook content moderator. “They’re forcing us into the office, putting us and our families at risk of COVID-19, even though our colleagues keep getting COVID. Facebook employees working on the similar content as us are safe and allowed to work from home. Why aren’t we?”
A new report sheds more light on the state of remote working, suggesting permanent adoption may be more widespread.
According to a report by the National Association for Business Economics’ (NABE), only 11% of those surveyed expect all of their employees to return to the office once the pandemic is over.
The NABE’s report echoes research from other organizations that shows a permanent disruption occurring in the workforce. One recent report showed that 50% of workers would give up vacation days to continue working remotely, while another showed that as many as 29% would quit instead of return to the office.
Obviously, some industries are more flexible than others, with the NABE’s report showing that companies in the services industry were most likely to want a full return to the office.
Either way, the pandemic has forced companies and workers alike to rethink their work/life balance, and it seems likely that flexibility will continue to be an important factor long after the pandemic is over.
“Once you get to the cloud all of a sudden the lid is off,” says Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman. “People can just pursue their backlogs and whatever they can imagine. We’re now in a situation where technology is ahead of what people are capable of and imagining what they could actually do with it. That’s really a big part of what you see in Snowflake’s growth profile, a completely variable paradigm.”
Frank Slootman, CEO of Snowflake, says that on-premise data centers can only accommodate a tiny fraction of what their real demand for data analytics really is:
Once You Get To The Cloud The Lid Is Off
The important thing to understand is that there’s a couple of long-term secular trends that are coinciding and driving the development of the market overall. One is, as everybody knows, the movement towards cloud. It’s really a modernization play. We’re moving from on-premise data centers and we’re taking workloads to the cloud because we get to take advantage of better economics and utility models. Then we no longer have to manage capacity, we pay by the drink and all that sort of thing.
The other aspect that’s really important for our business is that we’ve had an extraordinary amount of pent up demand. The on-premise data centers could only accommodate a very tiny fraction of what their real demand for data analytics really is. Once you get to the cloud all of a sudden the lid is off. People can just pursue their backlogs and whatever they can imagine. We’re now in a situation where technology is ahead of what people are capable of and imagining what they could actually do with it. That’s really a big part of what you see in Snowflake’s growth profile, a completely variable paradigm.
Notion Of Headquarters Is Evaporating
We don’t have a yearning to go back to where we were. I can see why people would have that because of lockdowns and things of that sort. From a business standpoint, there’s a lot of positives to the shock to the system that we received. It’s almost like a wake-up call that is just opening our eyes to the opportunity. This whole notion that the office is your workday home we just realized that it’s nonsense. In other words, offices need to be there for specific purposes, for events, for training, for meetings specifically, but not a place to hang out nine to five. That’s definitely changing. It’s going to really reduce the real estate footprint that companies have.
The other trend and you’ve seen it with companies leaving California, the likes of Oracle and HP and Tesla, and so on is that the whole notion of headquarters is pretty much evaporating in front of our eyes. We’re no longer operating with a physical center of the universe. We’re completely virtual. We’re connecting as needed. We’ve been operating for the better part of a whole year without a headquarters and it’s just fine. All of a sudden everybody’s staring at each other and saying like what is the headquarters anyway. You’ve seen companies like Pinterest and you’re writing up massive leeches in San Francisco and saying we’re going to be headquarter-less. It’s just a concept whose time has gone away… and that’s very profound.
We Are Buying Talent And Technology, No M&A
Usually, big M&A is a function of people running out of market and running out of a lot of opportunity. They’re trying to invade adjacent territories to give themselves new runway. That is obviously not the case for Snowflake. We’re in a tremendous marketplace and we are buying talent and technology. We sometimes refer to it as stem cells that we can use that we don’t have ourselves that we can build very specific technologies around that are very much built snowflake way. We can really enable our platform mission or footer. That’s really been our mode. If you looked at our history we don’t have a history of doing big acquisitions.
Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman: Once You Get To The Cloud The Lid Is Off
A large portion of the East Coast, from D.C. to Boston, was hit with an outage Tuesday and the FCC plans to find out why.
Around 11:00 AM Tuesday, users of multiple companies began reporting outages along the East Coast. Verizon soon announced a fiber line had been cut in Brooklyn. While the company did not say that was responsible for the widespread outage, it no doubt played a significant role. Unfortunately, however, details are still hard to come by.
Acting FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel wants the FCC to get to the bottom of the issue, especially given the widespread impact on remote workers.
We have seen reports of internet-related outages on the East Coast, making it difficult for people to work remotely and go to school online. The @FCC Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau is working to get to the bottom of what is going on.
A major outage is impacting customers on the East Coast, with some of the most critical companies being affected.
Users of Google, Slack, Verizon, Zoom, AWS and others began reporting issues around 11:00 AM Tuesday. According to DownDetector, the issues seem to be localized to an area ranging from Washington, D.C. up the cost to Boston.
Replying to one customer on Twitter, Verizon seemed to indicate the issue was the result of a fiber line being cut in Brooklyn, NY.
As Verizon says, there is no estimated time for repair. Needless to say, in the meantime, the issue is wreaking havoc on remote workers and schoolchildren.
Just four weeks after saying Microsoft has “unparalleled” cloud advantages, Wedbush has raised its target price from $260 to $270.
Microsoft has been making moves in the cloud industry, outpacing the industry’s growth rate and posing an ever bigger challenge to AWS. In particular, the company’s vast installed base give it a huge advantage in the cloud market, as existing customers have a sense of familiarity with the company’s products and ecosystem.
On the verge of Microsoft’s earnings on Tuesday, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said the remote work environment is also working to boost Microsoft Azure, according to Business Insider.
“This current work-from-home environment is further catalyzing more enterprises to make the strategic cloud shift with Microsoft across the board with Azure growth remaining brisk,” Ives said in a note to clients.
Wedbush has raised its target to $270, but see $300 per share as a distinct bull-case possibility. According to BI “Ives estimates that Microsoft has only met 35% of the market for its cloud product and that permanent telework will accelerate other companies’ deployments of cloud-computing deals.”
The report is good news for Microsoft as all eyes look to its earnings report Tuesday.
Microsoft and SAP are partnering to integrate Teams across SAP’s suite of solutions, with the goal of streamlining customers’ cloud transitions.
Microsoft Teams and Slack are the two dominant corporate messaging platforms on the market. Salesforce recently inked a deal to acquire Slack in a move that was seen largely as a way to fend off threats and remain competitive. It’s not surprising that Saleforce’s rivals would want to offer similar levels of integration. This is especially true for SAP and Microsoft, both among Salesforce’s biggest competitors.
The partnerships builds on a joint commitment by the two companies, and will see Teams integrated with SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Customer Experience.
“New ways of working, collaborating and interacting completely transform how we operate,” said Christian Klein, CEO of SAP SE and member of the Executive Board. “By integrating Microsoft Teams across our solution portfolio, we will bring collaboration to the next level, jointly determining the future of work and enabling the frictionless enterprise. Our trusted partnership with Microsoft is focused on continuously advancing customer success. That’s why we are also expanding interoperability with Azure.”
“The case for digital transformation has never been more urgent,” said Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft. “By bringing together the power of Azure and Teams with SAP’s solutions, we will help more organizations harness the power of the cloud so they can more quickly adapt and innovate going forward.”
The new integrations are expected to be available in mid-2021.
In further evidence of the rising popularity of remote work, a new poll shows that over 50% of workers would choose remote work over vacation.
Office Depot conducted a survey of professionals to better understand the state of the remote workforce. Interestingly, while just under a third of workers were working remotely in March 2020, that number had increased to nearly 70% by May.
While some workers prefer being in the office, it seems the majority not only prefer telecommuting, but would even go to extreme measures to keep doing it. In fact, only 25.2% percent of workers prefer to go back to the office. 50.2% prefer to keep working remotely, while 24.6% would like a mix of both.
Most telling, however, is that 51.2% would even be willing to forgo vacation days in exchange for remote work.
Office Depot’s poll is among a growing number of indicators of just how successful and accepted remote work has become, such as one showing that 29% of workers would quit their jobs before returning to the office.
It’s clear that employers looking to attract the best and brightest will need to ensure some form of remote work as one of their standard benefits.
