As the Pandemic Recedes, Millions of Workers Are Saying 'I Quit'

I’m seeing similar sentiment among my peers.

Even some of the people who thought they wanted remote work are realizing it’s not always as fun as it sounds.

We read a lot of headlines about how the future is remote work and the HN bubble is full of people claiming they’re never going back from remote work, but I’m not seeing a huge shift toward remote work in actual job listings.

I worked remote pre-COVID. It anything, it feels harder to even land interviews for the few remote job opportunities because so many people are competing for a similar small number of remote jobs now.

1. Depends if the large companies who have committed to indefinite remote work will stay true to that policy. Then you'll still have a great deal of remote positions.

2. Those peers and their companies usually have had remote work forced upon them. See what it's like in a less traumatic time when people can work out of cafes and public spaces, maskless.
