I’ll joke sometimes that everyone should work from home, even surgeons. The truth is that it wasn’t all that long ago when surgery was performed in the home — typically that of the patient — which might explain why so many ended up dying from the surgery or from an infection they got during the […]
When people think of gig jobs, they often think of rideshare workers like those who drive for Uber or those who deliver groceries or even packages for Amazon. There are loads of gig jobs that require the worker to drive and loads that don’t. But one thing that all gig jobs have in common is […]
When I think of food service jobs, I think of jobs in restaurants. Some are back-of-house such as cooks and dishwashers. Some are front-of-house, such as waiters and bartenders. But they’re all in person. Or are they? Are there jobs for people who both want to work in food service and work remotely? We asked […]
Finance is almost inherently a knowledge-based field. Early during the Covid pandemic, the vast majority of finance workers suddenly found themselves working from home. For some, working remotely was great. For others, they couldn’t wait to get to the office full-time. And for still others, going from fully in-person to fully remote allowed them to […]
