The shift towards remote work due to the pandemic has led to a significant increase in employees working for managers in different metro areas, a 36% rise compared to pre-pandemic times. This change in dynamics, moving away from the traditional setup of bosses and employees sharing the same physical space, is creating a new city hierarchy in the US. Cities like San Francisco and Boston are emerging as leadership hubs, where managers are clustered, while cities like Las Vegas and Houston are evolving into workforce nodes, where regular employees reside. This transformation is not only influencing intercompany dynamics but also contributing to the formation of a 'great divide' among cities, marking a noteworthy shift in the traditional workplace structure.
