Now for the weekly roundup ⬇️

🏢 Global office values are expected to drop by $800 billion. Any guesses why? Global office attendance is at 70% of pre-pandemic levels, and US office attendance is closer to 50%; these figures aren’t expected to increase much, if at all. Lots of data in this 88-page (!) commercial real estate report. (McKinsey)

👴🏻 JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon is still living in the stone age. In a recent interview where he continued to push for return to office, he said “I do not believe you can be a leader and not be accessible to your people,” which raises the question: has he heard of cell phones? (Insider)

👨🏻‍💼 “Remote exposes how good you really are at management.” CEOs Hiten Shah (of Nira) and Adam Nathan (of Almanac) give expert advice on how to thrive remotely in this 4-tweet thread. (Adam Nathan, Twitter)

🌐 PwC’s biggest lessons from flexible work: trust employees completely from Day 1, give everyone the same amount of flexibility, and culture starts at the very top. This prescient article was written in 2019! (Harvard Business Review)

🖥 This 27” HP Monitor is 30% off for $159.99. If you missed Prime Day but still need a monitor, this is a high value option to consider. (Amazon)

🍁 Canada just launched a digital nomad visa. In summary: if you have a foreign employer, you can stay for 6 months. But Canada will extend the visa to 3 years if you join a Canadian company. (CNBC)

🇵🇭 Five countries where you can apparently live for less than $1K/mo all-in as a digital nomad: Philippines, Mexico, Romania, Argentina, and Grenada. (Travel Off Path)

🏔 Want to work from the Swiss Alps? One digital nomad in Lenk is developing a hub for remote workers, citing the relaxed way of life, abundance of outdoor activities, and gorgeous views all around. (Euronews)

🏝 These remote workers live abroad without telling US employers. One lives comfortably in Portugal on $50k, another was caught in Mexico and fired - only to do it all again in Canada. (Marketplace)

👵🏽 Remote work is impacting senior housing occupancy rates. Not only can remote work give parents more time with their kids — it gives adults more time to care for their aging parents, which has slightly reduced demand for senior living facilities. (Wall Street Journal)

🎓 WFH has disproportionately benefited college graduates. This working paper posits that existing gaps in outcomes by college attainment could be “exacerbated by the WFH revolution.” (National Bureau of Economic Research)

🥊 City of Austin employees continue to fight RTO. You might remember we wrote about the city employee protests a couple months ago; last week, panels formally requested the RTO policy reversal. (ABC KVUE)

Big movie week for people who like dolls and warfare (not together). Who would be the better remote manager: Barbie or Oppenheimer? I’m leaning toward Barbie - she’d have better meetups.

Cheers,
Grant
