We now have definitive proof that the traditional Monday-through-Friday, 9-to-5 is over for remote-capable employees. It’s based on a meta-analysis paper on productivity in hybrid, remote and in-office settings, published by researchers from Stanford University, the University of Chicago and the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México.
People will credit (or blame) the pandemic for this, but there's actually a much simpler reason: The traditional model is either less productive or more expensive than the alternatives, or both.
