🎶 I can buy myself coffee. Sign into the group Zoom. Talk to myself for hours, with my headset unplugged. I can take my own dance breaks. And I can manage myself. Yeah, I can work better at home, thank you! 🎶

There's a lot of conflicting news about remote work right now. Here's what I predict: The Covid pandemic brought remote work into the mainstream as a temporary fix. The upcoming recession will cement remote as a normal way to live and work.

The fight for work-life balance took a hit when Elon Musk ended remote work at Twitter. But if he thinks that's gonna derail the movement, he's got another think coming.

Psst! You might not need a new job in order to work remotely. If you don't like your in-person job, ask your boss to let you work from home. If you can't work from home, then get a new job.

Most people switch to remote work because they want more work-life balance. Why did you switch to remote work?

Hey, wanna hear something cool? Remotive started an audio series for remote workers, by remote workers, about the remote work/life experience! The first installment features Remotive's founder, Rodolphe Dutel, discussing how to find remote work.

The good news is September is a great time to apply for a new job...The bad news is that doesn’t guarantee you an interview.

Summer is over, y'all. 😿 Time to refocus on work or restart your job search. Use this September to reboot your life and make it better.

The Remotive team went on our first-ever company retreat this year. Yay! 🙌 I wrote an article about the experience, then turned it into a video. Let me know what you think.

✌️ Two things: 1. You get a say in how this day goes. 2. You are going to have a great day.

What is your dream job? Is it fully remote or hybrid? Flexible or fixed schedule? Front of house or back of house? If you don't love your current gig, find a better fit. It's possible to love your job even in these turbulent times.
