NEED TO KNOW
Remote work headlines:
Shocker: Amazon exec shares that he has “no data” to justify the company’s return-to-office mandate.
More proof that Amazon’s RTO policy was ill-designed, and most likely intended to cause resignations: they are now asking some employees to stay remote due to office space limitations.
Data shows that return-to-office policies are more likely to cause high performers to quit — and they’re much more difficult to replace.
Employees continue to feel stuck in what Gallup is now calling “The Great Detachment,” where a poor job market, disruptive remote and hybrid workplace changes, and bad performance management all add up to a less satisfying work experience.
AT&T is replicating Amazon’s RTO attempt, moving from a hybrid policy to requiring employees to work fully in-office.
A “seismic event is brewing” — unused commercial office space could lead to a billion square feet in converted residential housing.
TRAVEL BUG
Belize | Travel Off Path
These five sunny destinations don’t require a visa for stays up to six months: Mexico, Belize, El Salvador, Panama, Colombia.
Brasilia, Brazil ranked #1 in InsureMyTrip’s recent ranking of digital nomad cities to travel to.
Forbes shares another five locations worth considering for digital nomad travels in 2025, including St. Lucia and Lisbon. Panama makes another appearance on this list as well.
Check out these 15 safety devices for solo travelers. There are great devices in here I’ve never seen, like a door jammer, a portable door lock, and a hidden camera detector.

X, or Twitter, or… a Job Board?
An under-the-radar job board that’s worth knowing about is the one hosted by none other than X, formerly Twitter.
While it’s not frequently cited as a destination for remote jobs (perhaps because its owner is notoriously against remote work), the job board aggregates jobs from across the internet and has a filter for remote and hybrid roles.
I can’t tell how many total jobs are listed, but after some digging, there are likely thousands of remote jobs to search through.
Hint: you’ll need to enter a keyword or location (try “United States” as a location) before being able to access the remote filter.
