THE BIG IDEA

Help! They want to Cancel Remote Work!

Weeks ago, it appeared as though Elon Musk was the only one raising a case against remote work, but that’s not the case. Remote work now has more enemies outnumbering your entire village people combined times 100!

The work-from-home policy was made commonplace by the lockdown, even though it had been existing long before then.

Now that the pandemic is history, major companies like Amazon, Disney, Salesforce, and others are calling their employees to return to the office. In fact, Apple led the movement last year, although its workers protested, saying they’d been working efficiently from home.

The point in all of these is that remote work is being threatened, and if you are a remote worker, you may want to brace up for the inevitable.

Founders are optimizing for profit and productivity, and if scrapping remote work is how they can achieve this, then why not? But employees —the workforce behind the running of these companies are insisting on maintaining remote work culture. Perhaps, this is how World War III will break out!

But if this turns into a battle, there are a couple of rhetorical questions to ponder on:

What side would win?
Do you think there will be a massive surge of return-to-office all around the world?
Who has the upper hand here: employers who own these companies and jobs or employees who actually run the daily functions of these companies?
Will there even be a unified move against the return-to-office policy, or are there more job seekers who’d actually prefer to do away with remote work?

Quick story: This 65-year-old boomer resigned from his 6-figure paying job rather than returning to the office. It’s looking like the battle is already drawn sha!

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

BOLT NIGERIA

Are you a woman looking for an internship in tech but feeling like there aren’t many opportunities out there for you? I just found something that might be perfect for you – it’s called the Bolt Outternship.

It’s an internship program where you get to work on real projects in the tech industry. But what makes it special is that it’s specifically for women – all about creating a supportive and inclusive environment for young women in tech.

And don’t worry about working crazy hours – Bolt knows that work-life balance is important, so you’ll have time to learn from accomplished women, be part of a great team, and still have a life outside of work.

So go ahead and apply for the Bolt Outternship – it could be the start of something beautiful (plus plenty money) for you.

Applications are closing soon
