Amen to that. Just another writer that has never held a regular office job; straight from Academia to Government to think tank. Michael Strain

Remote work works fine for jobs that can be done via computer. Slack is a great communication tool as is Google Meets, WebEx, etc. I've been 100% remote since mid-March. Direct interaction with others is definitely missed, but comms are there in other ways. The amount of work is the same (or greater since time is saved having to transit from one conference room to another in the office).

This experience has changed the expectations of an 'office' and all that is involved with it. The technology to work remotely effectively while still collaborating with coworkers/vendors/customers is now mature enough to support that lifestyle. I'm optimistic about this.

In a lot of cases, it’s cheaper for the company, just as effective, and much more enjoyable for the worker.

I’ve been remote 3 days a week since March. My dog loves it, I don’t have to commute, I’ve got a way nicer screen and keyboard. I can crank my music and cook meals that take all day attention like stirring.

Wow...the author, Mr. Strain contributed a chapter to Room to Grow: Conservative Reforms for a Limited Government and a Thriving Middle Class, a reform conservative manifesto that New York Times columnist David Brooks called “the most coherent and compelling policy agenda the American right has produced this century.” He was identified by Karl Rove in 2014 as one of the new “conservative reformers.”

With fans like Brooks and Rove...
