The rise of remote working will continue
<i>&gt;REMOTE EMPLOYEES ARE SIMPLY MORE PRODUCTIVE<p>&gt;remote employees simply produce better results than their traditional counterparts.<p>&gt;employees who spend a bulk of their working hours outside of the office are vastly happier and more productive.</i><p>As a remote worker, articles like these only preach to the choir (people like me) instead of actually convincing business people and decision makers.<p>Having a journalist repeatedly say <i>&quot;remote is more productive&quot;</i> isn&#x27;t going to radically change the industry.<p>What the business world needs is a high-profile example of a company beating all the competition specifically _because_ of their remote workforce. E.g. a Google&#x2F;Facebook&#x2F;Apple type of multi-billion dollar success that shows the remote workers at Company X beating the onsite office workers at Company Y.<p>If that happened, there would be endless writeups and case studies in Harvard Business Review and WSJ with CEOs and middle managers copying the &quot;remote work is our killer competitive advantage&quot;.  The evidence of &quot;more productivity&quot; would be so compelling that incubators like YC and VCs would <i>refuse to fund you</i> if you didn&#x27;t have a 100% remote work force because it would be business suicide to stuff everybody on site in a office.<p>Which company is closest to providing that compelling evidence?  I don&#x27;t see the remote work culture at Automattic &amp; Basecamp really changing that narrative yet.
