A general takeaway is that **people tend to spend less time collaborating and more time on independent tasks** when they work remotely. That’s fine for some professions, but in roles that depend on frequent coordination, that pattern can complicate communication or weaken team cohesion. **Colocation – being physically present with your colleagues – does matter for some types of tasks**. But even if productivity doesn’t necessarily suffer, every hour of unscheduled, independent work can be an hour not spent in coordinated effort with colleagues. That means what happens when people clock out or log off early on a Friday – whether at home or at their office – depends on the nature of their work. In occupations that require continuous handoffs – such as journalism, health care or customer service – **staggered schedules can actually improve efficiency** by spreading coverage across more hours in the day. But for employees in project-based or collaborative roles that depend on overlapping hours for brainstorming, review or decision-making, uneven schedules can create friction. When colleagues are rarely online at the same time, small delays can compound and slow collective progress. The problem arises when flexible work becomes so individualized that it erodes shared rhythms altogether. The time-use data I analyzed suggests that **remote-capable employees now spread their work more unevenly across the week**, with less overlap in real time. Eventually, that can make it harder to sustain the informal interactions and team cohesion that once happened organically when everyone left the office together at the end of the week. As some of my other research has shown, that also can reduce job satisfaction and increase turnover in jobs requiring greater coordination.  ## The future of work To be sure, allowing employees to do remote work and have some scheduling flexibility on any day of the week isn’t necessarily bad for business. The benefits – in terms of **work-life balance, autonomy, recruitment and reducing turnover** – can be very real. Flexible and remote arrangements expand the pool of potential applicants by freeing employers from strict geographic limits. A company based in Chicago can now hire a software engineer in Boise or a designer in Atlanta without requiring relocation. This wider reach increases the supply of qualified candidates. It can – particularly in jobs requiring more coordination – also **improve retention by allowing employees to adjust** their work schedules around family or personal needs rather than having to choose between relocating or quitting. What’s more, many women who might have had to exit the labor force altogether when they became parents have been able to remain employed, at least on a part-time basis. But in my view, the erosion of Fridays may go beyond what began as an informal tradition – leaving the office early before the weekend begins. It is part of a broader shift toward **individualized schedules that expand autonomy but reduce shared time for coordination**.]]></description> <author>contact@remotejobshub.app (RemoteJobsHub.app)</author> <category>remotework</category> <category>hybridwork</category> <category>productivity</category> <category>collaboration</category> <category>workweek</category> <enclosure url="https://images.theconversation.com/files/700373/original/file-20251104-56-8kt8bp.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&rect=0%2C166%2C5669%2C2834&q=45&auto=format&w=1356&h=668&fit=crop" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Amazon Shuts Down Last US Call Center, Moves All Jobs Remote by 2026]]></title> <link>https://remotejobshub.app/article/amazon-shuts-down-last-us-call-center-moves-all-jobs-remote-by-2026</link> <guid>amazon-shuts-down-last-us-call-center-moves-all-jobs-remote-by-2026</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 14 Nov 2025 10:00:29 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[The **Amazon Customer Service Center** in Huntington, West Virginia, is set to close its doors next spring, marking a significant shift in the company's operations. An Amazon spokesperson confirmed that **customer service associates** from the Huntington site will transition to **virtual positions** starting in May 2026. While specific numbers of affected jobs were not disclosed, the company emphasized that employees will retain their positions, wages, and benefits while working remotely. Amazon stated, "With this change, our associates will work remotely while keeping their positions, wages and benefits. We remain committed to serving our customers, and we'll be providing support to our team members over the next six months as they move into virtual positions." David Lieving, president and CEO of the Huntington Area Development Council, expressed disappointment but highlighted the **talented workforce** that has supported Amazon for 15 years. He noted that this center was the **last operational call center** in the U.S. for Amazon and praised the company's community contributions, including donations to local schools and charities. Lieving added, "It is our sincere hope that Amazon continues to make community investments here even though their workforce will soon be working entirely remotely." Huntington Mayor Patrick Farrell attributed the changes to **market dynamics**, not the location's viability. He emphasized Huntington's strengths, such as **dependable infrastructure**, **affordable costs**, and a committed workforce, which offer lower energy, labor, and real estate expenses compared to other regions. Farrell pointed to Marshall University's new Institute for Cyber Security and Innovation District as evidence that Huntington can produce talent for the modern economy. He concluded, "Change is constant. What matters is how we meet it, and in Huntington, we are meeting it head on." *Copyright 2025 WSAZ.

However, under RTO mandates, women who continue WFH due to caregiving, health, or other responsibilities experience disadvantages, such as reinforcing bias and proximity privilege. These dynamics may unintentionally favor those with greater ability to be physically present, thereby widening existing gender gaps in career advancement. - Second, **the impact varies across organizational contexts and individual circumstances**, as some women choose to either drop out of the labor force or take a pay cut to be allowed to work from home. - Lastly, although a substantial body of literature examines the evolving nature of RTO, we find that RTO mandates are widely discussed in public and organizational discourse, but **few studies have quantitatively measured RTO’s impact**. Overall, this underscores an urgent need for more rigorous, data-driven research to better understand the evolving and complex magnitude stemming from RTO mandates. Our findings align with this theme, but we believe that future research should look less at the loss of flexibility under RTO mandates and more about what is gained when flexibility exists — and what and who is at risk when it disappears.]]></description> <author>contact@remotejobshub.app (RemoteJobsHub.app)</author> <category>womeninstem</category> <category>remotework</category> <category>rtomandates</category> <category>genderequality</category> <category>careerflexibility</category> <enclosure url="https://alltogether.swe.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Adobe-Express-file.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Unlock $1,000+ Monthly: 10 High-Paying Remote Side Hustles You Can Start Today]]></title> <link>https://remotejobshub.app/article/unlock-1-000-monthly-10-high-paying-remote-side-hustles-you-can-start-today</link> <guid>unlock-1-000-monthly-10-high-paying-remote-side-hustles-you-can-start-today</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 11 Nov 2025 10:00:31 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[With holiday spending in full swing, many Americans are looking for ways to bring in a little extra income — without sacrificing their time or commute. To help, **FlexJobs** identified 10 in-demand remote side jobs that can earn **$1,000 or more per month**, based on Payscale data. From virtual assistants to freelance writers, these positions are actively hiring, fully remote, and designed to fit around your main job — so you can boost your income without burning out. ## The Top 10 List Here’s a look at the list FlexJobs put together: 1. **Therapist** ($32/hour) 2. **Nurse Practitioner** ($58/hour) 3. **Customer Service Representative** ($17/hour) 4. **Copywriter** ($25/hour) 5. **Executive Assistant** ($25/hour) 6. **Accountant** ($24/hour) 7. **Interpreter & Translator** ($24/hour) 8. **Content Writer** ($23/hour) 9. **Graphic Designer** ($21/hour) 10. **Tutor** ($20/hour) ## Finding Remote Side Jobs What are the best ways to find these kinds of jobs? ConsumerAffairs spoke with Toni Frana, Career Expert Manager at **FlexJobs**, to learn more. “First, focus on roles that match your skill set so you can facilitate an effective job search,” Frana said. “It’s also important to understand what your availability and time looks like for what you can commit to a new side hustle. “Finally, know your worth. Your experience is valuable, even for something that isn’t done full-time. Identifying these first will help you conduct focused research to make sure you are searching for jobs in the right places.” ## Resume Do’s and Don’ts If you’re not sure how to make sure your resume is as attractive as possible, Frana offered some expertise. "Your resume for a side hustle won’t be noticeably different from the resume you use when applying for full-time roles,” he said. “In fact, **tailoring your resume** for side hustles is equally as important as it is for full-time roles. Employers want to see that you have the right skill set and experience for the job, regardless of the number of hours per week it requires. “**Highlighting your remote-friendly skills and experience** is also important for hiring managers to see on your resume. And, in some industries, particularly creative fields, it may be beneficial to put a portfolio together that you can include a link to on your resume.” ## Turning Skills Into Income Frana recommends that consumers start with what they’re already good at, and try to find ways to turn that into extra income. “Knowing what your **top skills and your transferable skills** are is very important for finding a new role,” he said. “Yes, side hustles offer the opportunity to increase your income, but also allow you to expand on skills you already have and leverage them to learn new and valuable skills that can open future doors as well. “Once you know what skills you can leverage into a side hustle, you can consider using some of those skills as **keywords in your search strategy**. Searching for job titles is generally what we default to, but oftentimes job searching sites allow searching with keywords, which can really help optimize your search efforts by focusing on some of your top skills as keywords.”]]></description> <author>contact@remotejobshub.app (RemoteJobsHub.app)</author> <category>remotesidejobs</category> <category>freelancing</category> <category>workfromhome</category> <category>sidehustle</category> <category>careertips</category> <enclosure url="https://media.consumeraffairs.com/files/news/stay-at-home-mom-jobs-ca-2025_3HHxRjO.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Unlock Your Dream Career: 11 Remote Jobs That Pay Over $100K Annually]]></title> <link>https://remotejobshub.app/article/unlock-your-dream-career-11-remote-jobs-that-pay-over-100k-annually</link> <guid>unlock-your-dream-career-11-remote-jobs-that-pay-over-100k-annually</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 11 Nov 2025 15:00:31 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Remote work has surged in popularity, offering unparalleled flexibility and the chance to **earn a substantial income** from the comfort of your home.

But beneath that comfort, a quieter crisis has been brewing. New findings from **Gallup’s May 2025 workplace report** reveal that the emotional toll of working remotely is far greater than many realize. Only **36 percent of fully remote workers** say they are "thriving" in their lives overall, compared with 42 percent of hybrid and 42 percent of on-site remote-capable employees. The only group faring worse was those in fully on-site, non-remote-capable jobs (30 percent). Gallup further notes that fully remote workers report **higher levels of anger, sadness, and loneliness**, and **45 percent said they felt significant stress** the previous day, surpassing their on-site counterparts. "These findings suggest that being a fully remote worker is often more mentally and emotionally taxing than working on-site or in a hybrid arrangement," Gallup stated. The message is clear: Remote work may have rewritten the rules of flexibility, but it has also blurred the lines between professional success and personal survival. ## The Loneliness Tax of Working Alone Remote work was once the promise of balance, the ability to log off early, take a walk, cook a meal, and be present for life’s quieter moments. But as Gallup’s findings reveal, it has also become the great isolator. Fully remote workers were more likely to experience anger, sadness, and loneliness than their hybrid or on-site peers. A staggering **45 percent reported feeling a lot of stress** the previous day, compared to 39 percent of on-site remote-capable workers and 38 percent of non-remote-capable ones. It’s not the work that has changed, it’s the absence of shared humanity. The impromptu conversations, the reassuring nods in a meeting room, the subtle emotional cues that help people feel seen all vanish behind muted microphones and pixelated smiles. The human heartbeat of work, it seems, doesn’t travel well over Wi-Fi. ## The Hidden Emotional Costs of Freedom The freedom to work from anywhere has come with a steep emotional price. The same screens that connect remote workers to their teams have also become walls, silent barriers that separate them from human warmth and spontaneous connection. Without the shared laughter of colleagues or the subtle affirmation of in-person interaction, isolation festers quietly. Even more striking is Gallup’s conclusion that **income levels did little to influence well-being outcomes**. The strain of remote work isn’t purely economic, it’s deeply emotional. The issue is not where we work, but how disconnected we’ve become from the rhythms of real human engagement. ## How to Protect Your Balance in a Boundaryless World The Gallup report isn’t just a diagnosis, it’s a wake-up call. Remote work is here to stay, but balance must be reclaimed deliberately, not assumed. Here are some strategies for those navigating this paradox of modern work: **Redefine boundaries, and defend them fiercely** Remote workers often blur the lines between home and office, turning comfort zones into productivity traps. Define physical and temporal limits: Designate a specific workspace, establish a start-and-stop time, and communicate those limits clearly to colleagues. Boundaries are not barriers; they are acts of preservation. **Prioritize “offline hours” like meetings** In an always-on culture, disconnection requires intention. Schedule your downtime the same way you schedule work, block out “no screen” hours, go for walks, or cook without your phone nearby. Treat these rituals as non-negotiable meetings with yourself. They’re not luxuries; they’re lifelines. **Replace virtual noise with human connection** Gallup’s data shows that remote workers feel lonelier than their hybrid peers, a reminder that digital communication can’t replicate human warmth. Make space for real connection: Meet a friend for lunch, join a local community activity, or simply step outside for face-to-face interaction. Even small moments of shared laughter can re-anchor emotional well-being. **Rebuild your morning and evening rituals** When home becomes the office, the brain loses cues that signal transition. Reintroduce those boundaries with deliberate rituals, dress for work even if you’re not commuting, light a candle when you sign off, or take a walk after logging off. Rituals signal closure, helping the mind distinguish between work time and life time. **Communicate with intention, not just efficiency** Remote communication often becomes transactional, reducing conversations to checklists. Go beyond “Did you finish this?” to “How are you holding up?” Cultivating empathy in digital spaces not only boosts team morale but also creates emotional safety, the cornerstone of sustainable work culture. **Revisit what success means to you** Gallup’s findings remind us that engagement does not equal fulfillment. The most productive workers are not always the happiest. Take a step back and reassess what defines your version of success. Is it constant availability, or genuine satisfaction? Rewriting this definition can restore meaning where burnout once thrived. ## The Bigger Picture: What Leaders Must Understand Organizations, too, must learn from Gallup’s warning. Remote work cannot be treated as a set-it-and-forget-it model. Leaders must design intentional systems for connection, whether through structured hybrid days, wellness check-ins, or small gestures of appreciation. "Organizations that want to support the work-life balance goals of employees can’t assume workers are achieving balance on their own," Gallup emphasized. The future of work depends not on whether people work from home, but on whether they feel at home in the work they do. ## The Human Reset The remote revolution began as a story of liberation, a rebellion against rigid office walls. But as the data shows, freedom without boundaries can become another form of captivity.
