Taking a Remote-first Approach

An interview with Jason Morwick

At the end of the summer of 2021, I wrote about bringing people back to the office. At the time, some offices were thinking of opening back up in the fall. Little did we know that that the Omicron variant of COVID-19 would derail plans once again.

As you all know from your own lived experience, everyone being in the office is easy. Everyone being out of the office is moderately easy. A mix of people in and out of the office is a challenge.

How we work and where we work are shifting in fundamental ways. Our children and grandchildren will hear stories about large office buildings, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. work expectations, and the time suck we call commuting and barely believe that we lived this way. That is how fundamental our work habits will change.
