Hello friends,

Wishing a very Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates. I’m grateful you’re here, reading along, and being part of the NoDesk community.

As we roll into Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I know many of us will be browsing for gifts, gear, or something fun for ourselves. If you’re planning to shop on Amazon, you’re welcome to use my affiliate links. It’s an easy way to support this newsletter. I may earn a small commission, but you don’t pay anything extra.

And if shopping isn’t calling your name this year, that’s great too. Enjoy time with friends, family, and the great outdoors.

Cheers,

Daniel

What We Lose With Remote Work—and How to Minimize the Damage

Peter Cappelli, Ranya Nehmeh | The Wall Street Journal

Offices have historically been where relationships are built and learning happens. The key is figuring out how to keep those things with hybrid work.

Remote professionals are quiet quitting Fridays. Their rebellion could open the door to a 4-day work week

Christos Makridis | Fortune

When I examined how the typical workday changed between 2019 and 2024, I saw dramatic shifts in where, when and how people worked throughout that period.

The secret to remote work that actually performs

Gleb Tsipursky | The Hill

The debate around remote work has reached a fever pitch, especially across public-sector institutions and large enterprises wrestling with post-pandemic workplace norms. As some federal and state agencies and many corporations move to reinstate mandatory full-time office attendance, they risk discarding one of the most transformative advantages modern work has to offer.

Working from home could get people back into work

UK Parliament

Home working could support the Government’s plans to get people back into work, by enabling people to work who might not otherwise be able to do so. This is one of the key findings of a new report, ‘Is working from home working?’, published today by the House of Lords Home-based Working Committee.

I Work For an Evil Company, but Outside Work, I’m Actually a Really Good Person

Emily Bressler | McSweeney’s

I love my job. I make a great salary, there’s a clear path to promotion, and a never-ending supply of cold brew in the office. And even though my job requires me to commit sociopathic acts of evil that directly contribute to making the world a measurably worse place from Monday through Friday, five days a week, from morning to night, outside work, I’m actually a really good person.

Christos Makridis | The Conversation

Do your office, inbox and calendar feel like a ghost town on Friday afternoons? You’re not alone.

Work-life balance tops pay in a historic talent shift—but CEOs say it’s a pipe dream

Emma Burleigh | Fortune

Work culture in the U.S. is changing, and employees are fed up with five-day RTO mandates and late-night calls from their bosses. Disillusioned with corporate America’s grind, they’re finally putting their work-life balance first—even above a hefty paycheck.

There’s Just No Reason to Deal With Young Employees

James D. Walsh | Intelligencer

AI is taking entry-level jobs. What happens when Gen-Z-ers can’t start their careers?

Your primary income as a nomad?

AppropriateNebula224 | Reddit

In an age when everyone’s a digital creator or a seller of courses, is it really possible to live as a nomad? What do you actually do?

Why Hotel-Room Cancellations Disappeared

Ian Bogost | The Atlantic

In the past, a hotel booking had been an easy thing to cancel. Up until the day before check-in, you could generally modify your plan without incident, and absent any fees. But this no longer seems to be the case. The age of travel flexibility is over. Hotel cancellation has been canceled.
