Emma Grede's Controversial Take]]></title> <link>https://remotejobshub.app/article/is-remote-work-secretly-sabotaging-your-career-emma-gredes-controversial-take</link> <guid>is-remote-work-secretly-sabotaging-your-career-emma-gredes-controversial-take</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 16 Mar 2026 15:00:27 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Forget daily Zoom meetings and telecommuting from home in your pajamas. If you really want to get to work, you’ve got to go to work, says Emma Grede, the London-based founder and fashion designer best known for collaborations with the Kardashians that have earned her ownership stakes in the denim brand Good American, Skims shapewear, and Safely, a line of plant-based cleaning and self-care products. Her net worth is estimated at $300 million. **Work-from-home culture is actually killing life**, Grede, 43, told attendees Saturday at the Inc. Founders House at SXSW in Austin, Texas. “That’s what I really believe. Look at the [post-COVID] statistics for marriage rates and birth rates. Indeed, there’s a loneliness epidemic. “I met my husband at work,” she said. “I met all my best friends at work. You might not like what I’m saying, but it’s the truth. You’ve got to get out if you want s—t to happen.” Grede expects her employees to report to the office five days a week. She believes **proximity and visibility are vital to success**. “You are not in line for the same promotions or pay increases when you are out of sight,” Grede contended. “Out of sight is out of mind. I’m working with the people who are in the room.” That stance has earned Grede considerable blowback from critics who argue a stringent in-office schedule can have dire consequences for working moms. But she rejects that knee-jerk response, pointing out that she leads by example. “I leave the office every day at 5 p.m. because I have four kids and I want to get home and have dinner with them and do bath and bedtime,” Grede said. “Because I do that, I’ve created the conditions for everybody else to leave at 5 p.m. if they have kids or a parent-teacher conference. You really have to model the type of behavior that you expect from your staff. It’s a two-way street.” She also urges women not to be shy about making money a top priority. “**Put money in the center of your plans**,” said Grede, whose new book, *Start With Yourself: A New Vision for Work & Life*, will be published in April. “When you avoid the subject of money, guess what happens? The money avoids you. “So, be really blatant. Have the audacity to say what you want and don’t ever be one of those people who say, ‘If I just do great work, the money will find me.’ It won’t. The money never finds you. You have to go after it unashamedly and be extremely focused on it. The women who do that, who don’t hide behind performative purpose, those are the women I see winning over and over again.” And none of those women are winning by avoiding the office and waiting at home for the next Zoom meeting. “I always think that a Zoom call gets, like, 10 percent dumber for every person that’s on there,” Grede said. “When I see 20 people on the screen, I’m like, ‘Nothing is getting done here.’”]]></description> <author>contact@remotejobshub.app (RemoteJobsHub.app)</author> <category>remotework</category> <category>career</category> <category>office</category> <category>leadership</category> <category>productivity</category> <enclosure url="https://img-cdn.inc.com/image/upload/f_webp,q_auto,c_fit/vip/2026/03/EMMA-GREDE.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[The Hidden Threat in Your Remote Team: How North Korean Operatives Infiltrate U.S. Companies]]></title> <link>https://remotejobshub.app/article/the-hidden-threat-in-your-remote-team-how-north-korean-operatives-infiltrate-us-companies</link> <guid>the-hidden-threat-in-your-remote-team-how-north-korean-operatives-infiltrate-us-companies</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 15 Mar 2026 15:00:24 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## The North Korean IT Worker Scheme North Korea has been running a sophisticated operation to place remote workers at U.S. companies, funneling money back to its regime and sometimes stealing sensitive information. This scheme relies on **laptop farms** – physical locations in the U.S. where North Korean IT teams trick companies into believing their remote workers are based locally. ![North Korean IT workers in an undisclosed location](https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2026-02/260224-north-korean-workers-mn-1400-2723db.png) *North Korean IT workers in an undisclosed location. Source: Dept. of Justice* ### How the Operation Works **Laptop farms** provide both a U.S. address for mailing laptops and a U.S. internet connection. Once equipped with remote access software, workers can log into these laptops from anywhere in the world. At least 10 alleged U.S.-based facilitators have been federally charged, including an active-duty U.S. Army member, for hosting these farms, laundering payments, and moving proceeds through shell companies. In one case, American citizen Kejia "Tony" Wang traveled to China in 2023 to meet with co-conspirators and IT workers. Laptops from over 100 U.S. companies, including a California-based defense contractor, were sent to Wang, who also set up shell companies to route wages earned overseas. Wang pleaded guilty to wire fraud, money laundering, and identity theft charges. "We believe there are many more hundreds of people out there who are participating in these schemes," said FBI assistant director Rozhavsky. "They could never pull this off if they didn't have willing facilitators in the U.S. helping them." ### Money Laundering Networks Once illicit money is earned, North Korean teams rely on **Chinese money laundering networks** to consolidate and convert it to government-issued currency. These networks operate across southern China and Southeast Asia, including Myanmar, Hong Kong, Macao, and China's Fujian province. "Every bad guy you can think of is using Chinese money launderers. Now, this is how money moves internationally," said Nick Carlsen, senior investigator at TRM Labs and former FBI intelligence analyst. Since Kim Jong Un took power in 2011, North Korea has expanded its cybercrime portfolio beyond IT work, pulling in billions through cryptocurrency thefts – including a record $1.5 billion heist last year. These operations have made Kim wealthier and more geopolitically relevant, validating his view of cyberoperations as an **"all-purpose sword."** ### The Growing Threat North Korean IT teams are now subcontracting work to developers in Pakistan, Nigeria, and India, expanding into fields like customer service, financial processing, insurance, and translation services – roles that receive less scrutiny than software development. "Unless you have external information, you might not know they're North Korean," said Michael Barnhart, who leads nation-state threat intelligence at DTEX. "They're trying to move themselves into middle management, and it's working." This expansion raises concerns that North Korean workers could cause real-world harm. In 2021, a North Korean hacking team infected a Kansas hospital's computer systems with ransomware, crippling servers and demanding $100,000 in bitcoin. The hospital paid. Barnhart helped investigate this hack and discovered that North Korea's malicious hacking teams sometimes cooperate with IT teams to support their missions. "It started off as revenue generation, but the lines are getting blurrier and blurrier. If the time comes, they've got chess pieces inside organizations all over the world – and they'll start acting from the inside," he warned. ### U.S. Response and Challenges The U.S. government has taken steps to address the threat, but experts warn it's intensifying as workers' use of AI continues to scale globally. On Thursday, the Treasury Department sanctioned six individuals and two entities for their roles in DPRK government-orchestrated IT worker schemes. Last fall, federal authorities announced a wave of criminal indictments, forfeitures, sanctions, and asset freezes targeting North Korea's illicit cyber activity. In October, the Treasury Department severed Cambodia-based Huione Group from the U.S. financial system, alleging it laundered billions in illicit proceeds. However, cybersecurity analysts say U.S. enforcement tools are struggling to keep pace with the scale and sophistication of Pyongyang's cyberoperations. Many individuals involved operate from countries without extradition agreements with the U.S., placing them beyond the reach of U.S. law enforcement. "It's a whack-a-mole game. It's virtually impossible to fully disrupt this," Carlsen said. "It's just a never-ending process." ![North Korean leader Kim Jong Un with soldiers](https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2026-03/260313-north-korea-mn-1515-df8546.jpg) *North Korean leader Kim Jong Un with soldiers in North Pyongan province.

That's kind of the tragedy of it," Carlsen said. "They've taken their best and brightest and made them criminals." North Korea has denied any wrongdoing, with its foreign minister condemning U.S. actions as "an absurd smear campaign" targeting the "non-existent 'cyber threat' from the DPRK." In response to questions about Chinese nationals' involvement, Chinese Embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu said, "We oppose false allegations and smears which have no factual ground at all." Lawmakers are seeking stronger defenses. Sens. Gary Peters, D-Mich., and Mike Rounds, R-S.D., introduced the Protecting America from Cyber Threats Act, which would renew key cybersecurity authorities for another decade and encourage private companies to share information about cyberthreats with the federal government.]]></description> <author>contact@remotejobshub.app (RemoteJobsHub.app)</author> <category>cybersecurity</category> <category>northkorea</category> <category>remotework</category> <category>moneylaundering</category> <category>threatintelligence</category> <enclosure url="https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_nbcnews-fp-1200-630,f_auto,q_auto:best/rockcms/2026-03/260226-nisos-north-korea-scams-cover-cs-9ee184.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Unlock the Secrets of Remote Work Accommodations: EEOC's New Guidance Reveals What Every Employer Must Know]]></title> <link>https://remotejobshub.app/article/unlock-the-secrets-of-remote-work-accommodations-eeocs-new-guidance-reveals-what-every-employer-must-know</link> <guid>unlock-the-secrets-of-remote-work-accommodations-eeocs-new-guidance-reveals-what-every-employer-must-know</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 14 Mar 2026 10:00:23 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[As employers increasingly require remote workers to return to the office, many are unsure how to handle telework accommodation requests. New federal guidance offers welcome clarity, providing a roadmap for private employers to navigate disability accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). ## What Happened? The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a joint technical assistance document on February 11 with FAQs addressing telework as a disability-related accommodation for federal workers. This guidance discusses when an employer must provide an accommodation, when it can be modified or ended, and best practices for exploring reasonable accommodations and engaging in the interactive process. ## 5 Key Takeaways for Employers 1. **Explains when telework may qualify** as a reasonable accommodation, narrowing it down to three categories: participation in the application process, performing essential job functions, and enjoying equal benefits and privileges of employment. 2. **Confirms that presence in the workplace can be an essential function** for some jobs, such as those where essential functions cannot be performed remotely, jobs with interactive requirements, or jobs where supervision and teamwork are needed. 3. **Encourages agencies to annually reassess** the effectiveness and necessity of accommodations, especially when circumstances change, such as new operational needs, changes in the employee’s condition, or updated job requirements. Telework accommodations may be reassessed now that COVID-19-related special circumstances no longer apply. 4. **Discusses how to navigate common issues**, like when an employee provides inconsistent medical documentation, posts social media content that may contradict their claims, refuses to try in-office alternatives, requests anxiety-based telework, or cites difficult or lengthy commutes. 5. **Telework accommodations do not need to be granted** to help employees mitigate symptoms, manage their condition, or improve quality of life. ## Reviewing and Approving Telework Accommodations The employer is the ultimate decision-maker when it comes to the reasonable accommodation offered, especially when telework is one of several effective options. However, employers must engage in a good-faith interactive process. Key aspects clarified by the EEOC include: - **Individualized assessment**: Employers should conduct an individualized assessment rather than take a blanket approach to employee accommodation requests. - **Flexibility to reassess prior accommodation grants**: Even if a telework accommodation was previously granted with insufficient documentation, employers may revisit their decision based on a full evaluation. - **Essential functions**: Many employees stopped performing essential job functions during the COVID-19 pandemic when working remotely, but employers don’t have to continue allowing this. - **Employee documentation**: Employees should explain why in-office accommodations are ineffective and provide medical documentation to support their claims. - **Anti-retaliation**: Employers may not treat an employee unfavorably because they requested or previously received an accommodation. ## 5 Compliance Steps for Employers Private employers should consider taking these steps in light of the new guidance: 1. **Review and potentially revise current telework accommodation arrangements**. Telework accommodations may be required in certain circumstances, but employers are permitted to reevaluate when there are changed circumstances. 2. **Conduct an individualized assessment**. This is a critical part of the interactive process and key to compliance. Don’t assume a particular request is unreasonable. 3. **Document the process**. Have employees put their requests in writing and have their treatment providers respond in writing to inquiries about the basis and necessity of the request. 4. **Don’t forget about state law requirements**. Many states have their own disability-related workplace laws which may be stricter than federal law. 5. **Consult an attorney**. Before denying significant accommodation requests, discuss options with experienced legal counsel to ensure compliance.]]></description> <author>contact@remotejobshub.app (RemoteJobsHub.app)</author> <category>eeoc</category> <category>ada</category> <category>telework</category> <category>accommodations</category> <category>compliance</category> <enclosure url="https://jdsupra-static.s3.amazonaws.com/profile-images/og.7295_415.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Discover 12 Lucrative Remote Careers That Pay $70K+ Annually]]></title> <link>https://remotejobshub.app/article/discover-12-lucrative-remote-careers-that-pay-70k-annually</link> <guid>discover-12-lucrative-remote-careers-that-pay-70k-annually</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 13 Mar 2026 15:00:27 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[As companies increasingly ask workers to return to the office, remote jobs may seem out of reach.

Even as overall home sales remained subdued, long-distance relocations increased in late 2025, signaling a profound shift in where Americans choose to live. ## Remote Work Fuels Interstate Migration In the fourth quarter of 2025, **18.8% of Redfin.com users searched for homes in a different metropolitan area**, up from 17.9% a year earlier and 15.9% about five years ago. This migration metric, based on users viewing at least 20 listings in an origin-destination pair, highlights how mobility persisted despite elevated borrowing costs and limited inventory. **Remote work remained more common than before the pandemic**, enabling borrowers to relocate for "affordability or lifestyle reasons without changing jobs." This flexibility allowed people to cross state lines as mortgage rates eased from their peaks and more homes entered the market, giving sidelined buyers and renters slightly more room to act. ## Tennessee Emerges as a Migration Hotspot "People are moving to Tennessee in droves—especially Nashville and its surrounding areas," said Aaron Glicken, a Redfin Premier agent in Nashville. "Compared to the West Coast, where many of them are moving from, we have relatively low housing costs and lower taxes." Glicken noted that many new arrivals worked remotely, while others filled local roles in tech, healthcare, or music industries. ## Florida Dominates, But New Destinations Gain Traction At the metropolitan level, **Sacramento and Las Vegas recorded the largest net inflows of Redfin.com searchers** in the quarter, followed by four Florida markets: Cape Coral, North Port, Miami, and Orlando. All ten top destinations—including Spokane, Boise, Myrtle Beach, and San Antonio—were relatively affordable compared to the expensive coastal hubs that people were most likely to leave. **Los Angeles and New York recorded the biggest net outflows**, followed by the San Jose–San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and Chicago. Redfin observed that outmigration from the Bay Area slowed sharply from 2021 and 2022 as return-to-office policies and a rebounding tech job market, especially in AI, kept more workers in place. ## Implications for Mortgage Professionals and Lenders For mortgage professionals, buyers have been trading big-city job hubs for cheaper metros and rural communities, often supported by remote-work incomes. Industry economists warn that such migration patterns risk exporting affordability problems to smaller markets, even as they alleviate some pressure in legacy coastal centers. For lenders, while purchase demand may have remained subdued nationally, the clients who did move were increasingly crossing state lines—seeking partners who understood both sides of the transaction.]]></description> <author>contact@remotejobshub.app (RemoteJobsHub.app)</author> <category>remotework</category> <category>housing</category> <category>migration</category> <category>affordability</category> <category>realestate</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn-res.keymedia.com/cms/images/us/073/0388_639087580187851792.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
