As I write this, I’m sharing my desk chair with my cranky elderly cat. We’re listening to music, being warmed by a space heater, and I’m wearing slippers. It’s freezing outside, but I haven’t had to step foot out of my apartment to go to work. What’s my secret? I’m a fully remote worker.
It wasn’t always this way, though — aside from a few months in 2020, I always worked in person before I changed careers. One of the few positive developments we’ve seen in the wake of COVID-19 is the increasing acceptability of remote work. In fact, the U.S. Census Bureau found that the number of Americans primarily working from home tripled between 2019 and 2021, going from 9 million to 27.6 million.
