About this ebook
Get the Summary of Jason Fried's Remote in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book.Original book introduction: Does working from home-or anywhere else but the office-make sense? In Remote, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, the founders of Basecamp, bring new insight to the hotly debated argument. While providing a complete overview of remote work's challenges, Jason and David persuasively argue that, often, the advantages of working "off-site" far outweigh the drawbacks.
In the past decade, the "under one roof" model of conducting work has been steadily declining, owing to technology that is rapidly creating virtual workspaces. Today the new paradigm is "move work to the workers, rather than workers to the workplace." Companies see advantages in the way remote work increases their talent pool, reduces turnover, lessens their real estate footprint, and improves their ability to conduct business across multiple time zones. But what about the workers? Jason and David point out that remote work means working at the best job (not just one that is nearby) and achieving a harmonious work-life balance while increasing productivity.

Summary of Jason Fried’s Remote
Overview
In February 2013, the web services provider Yahoo! announced it was eliminating its remote work program, a decision that caused no small amount of controversy. Between 2005 and 2011, the number of remote workers in the United States had risen by 73 percent. As new technologies like video conferencing platforms began to make remote work easier and more collaborative than
