There is a large and growing divide in terms of who gets to work from home. Research on job postings found that remote work is far more common for higher paid roles, for roles that require more experience, for full-time work, and for roles that require more education. Managers should be aware of this divide, as it has the potential to create toxic dynamics within teams and to sap morale.

    Growing inequality? Sounds like it never really changed. Figure 2 (the figures are not numbered, but they reference them with numbers, I can also not c&p the title, since that is part of the picture) anyway so figure 2 shows that more people with lower education were able to WFH, so I would argue that it is actually less unequal today, the headline is in direct contradiction to this. As someone who has worked at both sides of this, I would have liked more people to not bother me by doing WFH. Other than “you simply can’t do it yourself”, I only see upside for those who have to go to work. Starts and ends with less traffic and has things like fewer stupid comments from bosses in the middle. I remember that night shifts were always the best in that regard, you could simply do your job.
