While only 4% of working people in France worked remotely in 2019, more than one out of every five employees does so today. Employee monitoring has developed in parallel, explains Vincent Meyer, a professor and researcher in labor sociology at EM Normandie Business School. He analyzes how digital tools are redefining trust between employers and employees, and how young professionals, seeking autonomy and balance, are adapting to this new environment.

Your boss has never had more ways to peer over your shoulder. It's not new for bosses to watch workers, of course - especially on corporate devices. But technology updates that let employers better monitor whether you're in the office, or view texts on employer-owned devices, are giving employers even more control. Employer surveillance has grown because of the rise of remote work, and because of a proliferation of tools that allow for monitoring, a recent report from the US Government Accountability Office found.

Today's case examines how one cryptocurrency exchange navigated two major resets in a single year. The first was moving to a fully remote workforce, and the second was adopting a policy that explicitly banned political and social activism at work, sparking an intense debate about leadership, culture, and the boundaries of corporate engagement in social issues. Oh, and if that weren't enough, these decisions came at a pivotal moment just as the company was preparing for its historic IPO.

Working from home suits many people's needs because of the flexibility and the lack of a lengthy commute. But with remote work really only becoming popular in the last 20 or 30 years, many homes and rented apartments don't feature ready-made office spaces. As a result, the kitchen is often chosen as an office alternative due to its typically large size and proximity to convenient appliances like coffee makers and kettles.

SpaceX began launching Starlink satellites in 2019 to provide data in the large gaps that still exist between 4G, 5G, and traditional broadband networks. It now has a monopoly on high-bandwidth, low-latency internet that can be quickly and easily installed anywhere, be it land, sea, or air, or in response to a natural disaster. Other consumer satellite internet services exist with more scheduled to come,

Seven out of 10 companies have formal RTO policies requiring some in-office time. A surprising 93% of business leaders believe being in the office is necessary. Fully flexible setups (remote or employee's choice) dropped from 39% of jobs to 28% between 2023 and 2024. Only 7% of companies allow fully remote work in 2025, down from 21% in 2024. While 44% of employees say they'd comply with a 5-day office mandate, 41% would start looking for other work, and 14% would quit.

Remote work has become more popular and available in recent years. Some of these positions require plenty of experience before you earn $75,000, but others pay enough to allow you to boost your bank account soon after beginning your career. See if your skills match up with these entry-level remote positions where you can quickly make at least $75,000, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Public Wi-Fi has become an essential part of daily business life in London. From cafés and co-working spaces to hotels and trains, employees and entrepreneurs rely on wireless networks to stay connected on the move. Yet as Wi-Fi usage grows, so does the risk. Over the past five years, cybersecurity reports have consistently shown that public hotspots remain one of the easiest entry points for attackers. Business travellers, remote workers, and small companies-especially those without dedicated IT teams-are often the most exposed.

Working remotely can be a blessing and a curse. Sure, it's nice to work from your bed, in sweats, with no one to judge your snacking habits. But do it for too long and you might get cabin fever. Working in public spaces can be a great way to get out of the house, meet new people and get to know your city. And yes, we mean beyond the closest Starbucks to where you live.

I am a freelance writer who works from home. I like to make the most of my remote job by traveling, but I work from my desk for at least two weeks a month. Earlier this year, I realized that my laptop wasn't cutting it for me, and I purchased the , which I consider to be the best value-for-money Apple device.

A 2025 National Bureau of Economic Research study found that remote career professionals save about 72 minutes a day by bypassing a commute, but only reinvest 40% of that time back into the company. That's not exactly taking hours away from a day on the job, but workplace experts say it's the tip of the proverbial iceberg on the larger issue of so-called "office freeloading."

New research sheds some light on why that might be. In a recent paper, a team of economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the University of Virginia and Harvard University found that younger workers suffered career-wise by working from home, receiving less training and fewer opportunities for advancement. The economists found that remote work even contributed to higher unemployment among younger workers.

Crossing a mountain pass in my 1984 Toyota Tercel, it was a beautiful, sunny winter day, but coming around a bend I hit an ice patch and immediately started sliding off the road. It was next to a cliff, with no guardrail, and it was a slow-motion freak out. The car came to a stop just before going over. My girlfriend didn't even have room to get out on her side.

I was wasting hours just sitting in traffic,

We did not, however, come up with a comprehensive child care plan. This may seem like an oversight, but I didn't know what I wanted. My husband has a full-time job, and I'm a freelancer who works from home; my schedule changes often. It was hard to know how much child care I would be able to do when I didn't quite know what a day with a baby entailed. We decided we'd get started on our own, and then hire part-time help to fill in the gaps.

Estonia didn't stumble into this. It engineered it. It designed it with intention. And it might be the most visionary immigration strategy Europe has produced in decades. This long-form deep dive explores how a nation smaller than many U.S. cities became the continental leader in attracting remote workers and why thousands of Americans are now looking north toward a place they once knew only as that country with cool digital ID cards.
