Gitlab has a report of a survey they did on remote work. It an interesting survey that includes a wide range of occupations where the work product is some sort of digital output. The report gives a nice summary of of the beliefs and attitudes of remote workers.
Among the interesting findings are the facts that:
- Most remote workers are not traveling nomads and that, in fact, 52% of them travel less than other workers.
- One in four remote respondents work for “all-remote” companies and 43% of them feel that it’s important to work for an all-remote company.
- About 50% of the respondents found believed themselves to be more efficient and productive.
- There’s no one reason given for preferring remote work. The respondents all had their own reasons.
The article is full of demographics and information. There’s a link to the full report but it appears to be the same as the Web version. It will be interesting to see how things change as a result of our current enforced work-from-home mandate.
