NEED TO KNOW

Remote work headlines:

• Rigid return-to-office policies cost more than they benefit companies, due to higher attrition rates, lower productivity, higher real estate costs, and costs required to accommodate higher employee turnover.

• Sergey Brin, cofounder of Google and clearly a clown, recommended that his AI team should be working in the office “at least” every weekday, and that working 60 hours per week is optimal for productivity. Surely that lack of work-life balance hasn’t impacted his personal life, right? (Google it 😉)

• Returning to the office won’t solve the problems that JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon was ranting about in the first place.

• Most remote workers haven’t seen companies try to negotiate their salaries down in order to stay remote — but they might in the future.

• This former Amazon executive tried to play devil’s advocate to justify executives’ call for RTO, claiming tech executives are so rich they are completely disconnected from most employees’ lives; even if he’s right, that would never make up for the extreme lack of empathy they have for their workers.

• More employees (39%) feel most productive while remote than employees who feel most productive from an office (25%), among other pro-remote findings.

STATS

57% consider offsites essential

Surf Office, a company that organizes offsite corporate meetups, recently shared their State of Company Offsites report for 2025.

Among the fully remote companies polled, 57% considered offsite meetups to be “essential” to their companies’ success.

The three most common reasons for offsites were: (1) improving team collaboration, (2) increasing employee engagement, and (3) boosting morale and motivation.

62% of company offsites are held outside the country where the team is primarily based. And the most popular cities? Lisbon and Barcelona.
