Remote first Co’s will disrupt every business that resists due to lower costs

— You’ve met your responsibilities
— Your time is yours
— What needs to be done is clear
— The death of time in office as KPI That scares people

Workspace evolution that’s led to this:

1/ Everyone: office
2/ Manager: office | Others: cubicle
3/ Manager: cubicle | Others: open plan
4/ Everyone: open-plan Offices have gotten exponentially worse
