There is a large and growing divide in terms of who gets to work from home. Research on job postings found that remote work is far more common for higher paid roles, for roles that require more experience, for full-time work, and for roles that require more education. Managers should be aware of this divide, as it has the potential to create toxic dynamics within teams and to sap morale.

    This is more of the same narrative trying to pit worker against worker. Remote work needs to be based on the task being performed for the job. If you’re going to force me into an office to sit and have zoom meetings all day or type emails, then I can do that from home. Anyone arguing otherwise is full of shit.

      You can’t really teach children from home, so I’m never going to work from home as a maintenance person. That’s fine. Maybe just don’t have kids at school for 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I think 4 days for 4 hours is a good schedule for kids while we work 4 days, 6 hours a day.
