Remote Work Chaos: Half of Office Workers Call Their Desk Jobs 'Remote' — While Bosses Push Return
A new survey from the New York Fed finds that half of in-office workers label their jobs 'remote,' and many remote workers are actually back at their desks. Critics say companies are failing to deliver the collaboration they claim is essential.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York conducted a survey on how workers describe their jobs, and for many voters this shows just how muddled the return-to-office push has become.
Half of in-office workers now describe their desk jobs as 'remote' — a sign that official categories no longer match the reality on the ground for ordinary employees.
Employees describing jobs as 'remote' are now often in-office, according to NY Fed research, as companies fail to create the collaboration they claim is critical. Critics of corporate and bureaucratic elites will see this as another example of policies that ignore the costs to working people.
