I’m getting a bit confused by tech companies’ thinking around the future of remote working, and I imagine I’m not the only one.
Months of working from home have made many businesses and their employees question whether the typical 9-5 working model is necessary in an age where work is increasingly done in front of a computer that provides instantaneous connection to anyone, anywhere in the world.
Tech companies have had a particularly vested interest in the notion that effective working can transcend geographies and time zones – not least owing to the fact that, in exchange for a monthly subscription fee, they can provide you with the software that allows you to do just that.
