The COVID-19 pandemic radically altered the way many people & organizations feel about the potential for remote work. Some people say, "Now we'll never do in-person meetings again", but that's simply not the case.

In this #InfoQ talk, Rebecca Parsons describes the transition that #Thoughtworks made to remote working initially, and how they look today at the value of remote, hybrid, and in-office work: https://bit.ly/44jTBUC

I worked with an entrepreneur & futurist I know to help him write a really fascinating story recently, talking to a fascinating couple that has lived in AirBNB and similar housing since the end of 2019. How does that change you think about your lifestyle? How did it change their relationship with Sydney? You'll find everything from tips on finding good places to stay and on how to declutter your life, through to how your mindset changes when you're living a nomadic lifestyle but still within a commuter range for work.

The future of work is hybrid, but there is no one-size-fits-all approach yet.

At the latest MIT Thinker-Fest 2023 conference, a panel of experts shared advice on leading teams that are partially or fully remote. Lack of physical presence in the workplace is not an excuse to ignore remote workers. It's imperative to break down barriers to ensure equity and access for all employees.

Here are some key takeaways:

@sfchronicle Also relevant: congestion has fully returned to #sfba highways. And this is *with* #RemoteWork and #HybridWork still going strong.

One utterly cynical thing SF could do in the short term is to offer cash incentives to corporations to mandate their workers back into an office commute, congestion be damned. But even that is temporary: the economy will turn in the worker’s favor soon, and those who have had a taste of #RemoteWork will be lured away by the prospect of not having to endure a shitty commute every day.

In any case, I hope SF residents learn a lesson from this and make better decisions about housing and public transit when good times roll again.

It’s not a great hope, but it is a hope.

Soft skills like communication skills have always been very important for executives.
In this new era of video conferencing and hybrid work, leaders and managers need to sharpen presentation skills. It's not the typical presenting in front of a crowd, or delivering a TED-talk-like presentation. We need people who know how to communicate to an audience behind a camera, the use of lighting, microphones, teleprompters, etc.

@jenk similar day when I go to office versus work at home. 1800 total steps and ate like shit. Oh, and stink eye from dog all night once I got home! #HybridWork
