DEALS ON WHEELS

Office chair upgrade

Interesting find from a fellow Grant. If you decide to try this out, he points out that you’ll need to determine the right caster size (60mm, 75mm, etc.) before placing an order.

STATS

7%

Of those who have the ability to work remotely, only 7% want to be in the office full-time — the lowest level I can recall seeing.

A recent Gallup survey showed data that’s not dissimilar from data from surveys in the last several years, when we typically saw a 60/30/10 split among preferences for hybrid/remote/onsite.

With a choice in work location:

• 60% want to be remote some of the time (hybrid)

• 33% want to be fully remote

• 7% want to be fully in-office
