šŖ Small companies win remote talent
Inside: Billtrust is hiring in sales and product management. Plus: Fortune 100 flub, a Croatian gateway for remote workers, remote jobs up 8%, Canadian banks playing "musical chairs," jailtime for a laptop farm, and more.
Good Morning,
I feel vindicated after last weekās discourse about how allegedly half of Fortune 100 companies are now fully back in-office 5 days per week.
The Flex Index newsletter quickly responded with their own data: 67 of the Fortune 100 are still operating with hybrid schedules ā meaning, at minimum, the in-office implication from the JLL report exaggerated claims by over 1.5X (33 companies are actually operating fully in-office, instead of 54). Iāll definitely trust the company thatās built around tracking workplace office policies, The Flex Index, versus a commercial real estate company thatās clearly pushing for higher office reliance.
Reminds me of our friend Bruce:

I suppose if a leaderās company has billions on the line, they may be inclined to straight up lie to the general public.
Stay skeptical, my friends š»

NOMAD LIFE
āThe Gateway to Croatiaās Islandsā

A recent Islands.com article lauded the city of Rijeka, Croatia. Situated on the northern coastline of the mainland, it has lots of appeal for remote workers looking for a high quality of life.
From the article: āRijeka seems almost perfectly set up for the remote-worker lifestyle. While there's a robust public transportation network, most places can be reached on foot within 30 minutes. There are a number of coworking spaces sprinkled throughout the city, with RiHub being particularly popular. Garnering an average 4.8 rating on Google Reviews, RiHub is an excellent spot to meet like-minded nomads ā and it was set up by the city, so it's free to use.ā
Always love to hear about local governments encouraging remote workers to visit and stay awhile. Done well, it boosts the local economy long-term, and provides digital nomads an opportunity to learn more about a place and culture they otherwise may have never seen.
