The office is dead

Summary
The traditional office model is dead, argues this article, and remote and hybrid work is here to stay. While many business leaders may want their employees back in the office, the tight job market and a significant number of workers preferring working remotely make it difficult to force employees back into the office. Business owners should embrace remote work, suggests the article, which gets rid of expensive office real estate. Instead, invest in technologies that can make people more productive working from home or from other remote locations. Businesses can save even more money and increase efficiency by using virtual assistants and freelancers. The article suggests that businesses in general should adapt and flow along with work-from-home and hybrid-work trends, not fight and resist them.
Excerpt
“Yes, leaders stuck in the 20th century want everyone back in their office warrens and cube farms, but workers aren’t having it. And they’re the ones with the upper hand in today’s tight job market… As Bloomberg recently reported, ‘Job openings are at a historic high.’ Now is not the time to discourage would-be employees.”
