Good Morning,

This week, one of the posts in r/remotework really struck a nerve:

Bosses: please stop making your employees commute in for zoom meetings (or worse, for no reason at all)! It will do wonders for their happiness and your company’s talent retention.

And if your boss doesn’t listen to that request… the job board surpassed 21,000+ jobs this week. Happy hunting!
