Remote Work in 2025 and Beyond

[eDJ_]

If you work remotely for a company are you expecting to be shifted into RTO ? (Remote to Office) I don't know if there any Van Dwelling Federal Employees here or not but there is slated to be crack down on Remote Work for them and private sector employers are wanting to return remote workers to their offices. Will you be effected ?

3 Remote Job Trends To Watch In 2025

"Looking to 2025, I believe remote work will evolve into a more balanced hybrid approach," he says. "While some companies may push for a full return to office, the ongoing demand from employees for flexibility will likely ensure that hybrid models remain dominant.

Still there are a lot of businesses who cannot find employable personnel living close by. It may owe to the cost of housing. Then if people have to drive to work some distances they may want to look at the pay being offered and the cost of tires for their vehicle and other operating expenses. (have you checked the prices for new tires lately ? They ain't cheap. A new set could cost more than a weeks pay and possibly a months. So many tires are made in China and tariffs won't help matters if you need replacements)

They had been cracking down on remote to appease interests of commercial real estate and other business owners. Literal slavery. Public servants, however, should not work remotely, they often use it to literally hide from the public they should serve.

There is a huge difference between actual slavery and the social construct of being a “wage slave”. Watch out because words actually do have meanings and sometimes modifying words do need to precede them.

I am in the private sector, oil and gas. It is such a big company that there has to be remote work depending on your job duties. It's cheaper that way for this company. They had been closing pencil pushing offices for example in CA because of the cost rent and gives the employee a choice to move out of state to their new HQ or work remote (depending on job duties) or get laid off.

I have not heard about going back to 4-5 day work weeks where I am at which is on site. I think this hybrid schedule will continue. Like I mentioned it has been going on way before the pandemic with this company. It was only a fully remote when the pandemic happened.

In the Federal though there probably so much overhead they will just cut the job outright.
