This sounds great, but it brings problems of its own.
Will we move out of the big city?

Hybrid Work
According to Microsoft, over 70% of workers want to keep working remotely.
At the same time, over 65% want more time spent in-person with their teams.
And this is one of the main dilemmas with remote work that a hybrid model might solve.

Work from home means no commute and (hopefully) a more flexible work schedule.
This personal connection is essential.
Its also much easier to work remotely with colleagues when you already know them.
With a poor culture or management who doesnt trust employees, work from home may be even more stressful.
This is acting like a common thread.
Other companies organize virtual games, pop quizzes, and even bingo sessions.
Work-Life Balance
The clearest benefit to home workers is the improvement of the work-life balance.
Even country living is possible.
And small towns already are trying to lure workers from the cities.
The only thing that we can be sure of is that our post-pandemic work model will be quite different.
But exploitation and abuse also are possible, and we have to stay vigilant.
