"Obituaries have already been written and all evidence points to the death of
remote work.

When Zoom, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the remote work boom, asked
employees to return to the office, it seemed like the final nail in the coffin.

90% of all companies have claimed that they’d be implementing return-to-office
strategies by the end of 2024, and a huge chunk even threatened to fire
employees if they didn’t comply.

Some of the less pessimistic viewpoints claim that while remote work isn’t
fully dead, most employees will need to have a significant office “attendance”
and could perhaps work remotely a couple of days a week — in a hybrid setting.

However, that doesn’t help — as the benefits of fully remote work get negated
the moment any kind of commute is involved.

Despite all the evidence suggesting otherwise, I believe that an inevitable
second wave of the remote work renaissance is coming.

And if my thesis holds, this one is likely going to be a bigger and
longer-lasting surge.

Here’s why."
