Remote Work

“Burnout” is a particularly modern affliction, feeling simultaneously overwhelmed and paralyzed. I’ve found it’s best to think of burnout not as a disease but as a symptom, with many different etiologies. The big three: permanent on-call, broken steering, and mission doubt.

Prediction: There will be a bimodal distribution of remote work. At the top end it will allow organizations to employ the best people regardless of their location, and freed from the drag of commuting and distractions of the office, they'll be even more productive.
