The Tension Between Remote Work and Employer Expectations

Remote work has transformed how employees and employers interact, creating a significant divide in expectations. Many employees prefer the flexibility of fully remote positions, while employers increasingly push for hybrid or in-office arrangements. A recent study revealed that only 9.5% of job postings were for remote work despite 45.9% of job applications seeking such positions, indicating a mismatch in supply and demand. This impasse has prompted many workers to consider alternative employment opportunities that prioritize remote work over traditional office settings.
