Remotely Happy: Upsides of the Zoom-centric worklife

Of course, many people, especially extroverts, would rather go into the office. It’s easier to get questions answered and to say hi to and take breaks with coworkers. Plus, some people like getting out of their home, which can be noisier and more stressful than the office. Some young people have told me that they feel more grown-up getting dressed up and going into a nice office.

But even if the pandemic subsides, many people will continue to work remotely at least part of the time. So it might be comforting to recount the Zoom-centric worklife’s advantages. I do so in my Psychology Today article today.
