As a remote work advocate, I was excited to see remote work in the spotlight. I predicted that 2020 would be the year that remote work would go mainstream but I thought it would be due to employee, not government, demand. Working remotely can be a positive, productive experience IF executed the correct way. Having it forced on you during uncertain times without the proper tools, systems and processes in place can make for a miserable experience.

Are companies and workers really ready for remote work?
Are the tools and processes in place?
Do they understand the differences between remote work and more traditional work arrangements?
Is remote work being treated as the new normal, a perk or a contingency plan?

In this book, I will be discussing the benefits and drawbacks of remote work and how to make it work for you. Whether you are an employer or employee, it is important to understand that there are some very real differences between working remotely and working co-located with the rest of your team in the same office.

The benefits of remote work are great but the drawbacks are very real. To make remote work, work for you, you need to be prepared to work differently. Once you understand the facts, you can decide for yourself if remote work is for you.

How remote are you?

An excellent case and mental model for rethinking remote work.

The author presents a concise state of remote work in 2020. Whether you are wondering how to ask your manager to occasionally work from home, are seeking for your first full remote position, or are looking to add remote workers to your team, this book will get you up to speed. The author draws on lived experience while establishing clear actions for a host of audiences. The detailed links and examples provided gave hours of additional reading. The lens is software engineering, but the same principles can be applied across industries.

I found the book thoughtful, reflective, and inspiring. As someone who has worked from home for over three years, I wish I had read this at the onset of my own remote journey.
