Default On the future of working remotely

Before the Covid pandemic, working remotely was something not actually utilized in large scale ways across Organizational America.

I read somewhere earlier today that one business (Yelp) had a few laptops available for working remotely. But when the pandemic exploded, they needed 3K laptops, stat, so they could keep moving forward during the pandemic.

I know, at my work campus, many private sector business and our anchor parent business stradles a 50/50 divide, on a normal basis, but since last March, our parent anchor business has gone from 50/50 to 70/30: meaning that 70% of the parent company business ooperates remotely, with major dept leaders working from campus but their work groups work remotely from home.

In case anyone is interested, i found two news articles concerning the current status of working remotely and another scolarly article which discusses the positive upside to working remotely, as well as addressing the downside remote workers contend with.

See what you think, ok?
