The will allow every worker to work from home 2-4 days a week, and come into the office 1-2 days a week
I've spoken to 2,000+ companies over the last 12 months about their plans for remote work going forward
Here are a few things I've learned
[ a thread ] 💻🏠🌍
The will allow every worker to work from home 2-4 days a week, and come into the office 1-2 days a week
Companies doing this have seen their workers decentralize rapidly, leaving expensive cities to be closer to family
Rather than hiring the best person in a 30-mile radius of the office, they can hire the best person in the world for every role
Rather than spending $20,000 / worker / year on office space they can provide the best remote setup on the planet for $2,000 / worker / year
Their biggest concern is that workers burnout because they are working too hard
They are actively exploring ways to combat this
The most popular we hear is flying the team into remote locations for ~week. Portugal, Spain, Puerto Rico seem to be the most popular
The most exciting companies I know personally all plan to hire remotely this decade
~90% of the workforces we’ve spoken to never want to be in an office again full-time
The majority of companies have replicated the office remotely and it is causing strains that are beginning to show
Expect this to remedy this quickly by providing better, ergonomic equipment to workers
We spoke to early-stage companies, publicly listed tech companies, through to legacy incumbents with hundreds of thousands of employees
All will be more remote
108 million tons of Co2 less every year
Almost every company we talk to believes that their workers will be happier as a result of remote work
There is a fear inside companies that if they don’t go remote they will lose their best people to their competitors
They are scared about intangible things they can’t measure
‘quality of communication’ && ‘collaboration in person’ && ‘water cooler chat’
Many have realized these were excuses
The measure of performance while working remotely has to become output. Tools that enable this to be tracked more accurately are something we are asked for a lot
Companies are searching for ways to do this more effectively. Tools that enable others to write better will explode
Companies need coaching and facilitators to maximize organizational effectiveness
Expect these to be built in incredible locations and focussed on providing the best on-site experience possible
This will give workers the option to choose where they work, and many companies are acting before they are forced
The benefits of in-person are eroded by the benefits of not traveling
Conferences and quarterly networking events will be where people cultivate & maintain in-person relationships

(1) Kushner is worth $324 million.
(2) Since 2016, Kushner has connived, with Saudi help, to force the Qataris (literally at a ship's gunpoint) to "loan" him $900 million.
(3) This is consistent with the Steele dossier.
(4) Kushner is unlikely to ever have to pay the "loan" back.
2/ So as you read about his tax practices, you should take from it that it's practices of this sort that ensure that he's able to extort money from foreign governments while Trump is POTUS without ever having to pay the money back. It also explains why he's in the Saudis' pocket.
3/ It's why the Saudis *say* he's in their pocket. It's why emoluments and federal bribery statutes matter. It's why Kushner was talking to the Saudi Crown Prince the day before the murdered Washington Post journalist was taken. It's why the Trump administration now does nothing.

Jared Kushner has a net worth of almost $324 million. But it appears that he paid little or no federal income taxes from 2009 to 2016, according to a review of confidential financial documents obtained by NYT. https://t.co/pMQDeCeDNq
