Among the coronavirus’s many effects is a boom (突然风靡的时期) in remote workers, who try to get accustomed to a work-from-home lifestyle. Matt Mullenweg, CEO of a software company, said that “it might offer an opportunity for many companies to finally build a culture that allows long-overdue work flexibility.” 1.
Research shows that remote workers gain in productivity. A study led by the Stanford professor Nicholas Bloom examined remote workers at a Chinese travel agency. 2. But research also shows that they often miss in creativity thinking. Steve Jobs believed that Apple employees’ best work came from accidentally bumping into other people. 3. Mr. Jobs said, “You run into someone, you ask what they’re doing, you say ‘Wow,’ and soon you’re cooking up all sorts of ideas.”
4. That’s a good thing if you’re a boss looking to squeeze extra efficiency out of your employees, but less ideal if you’re someone trying to achieve some work-life balance. Mr. Bock, who was previously Google’s top human resources officer, said that for most people, balancing office work with remote work is good. 5. It’s enough to participate in office culture, with some time reserved for deep, focused work.
A.Remote workers also tend to take fewer sick days.
B.Some people are less productive if they work at home.
C.Creativity comes from random meetings and discussions.
D.So it will be an exciting time for some fans of remote work.
E.Many people find it hard to balance their work and their home lives.
F.It found that they were 13 percent more efficient than the office-based ones.
G.The perfect amount of work-from-home time is one and a half days per week.
