Want a Promotion? Try to Not Be So Remote.

See Think Working From Home Won’t Hurt Your Career? Don’t Be So Sure: Many companies are letting employees stay home some or all of the time, but workers who frequent the office might get ahead by Callum Borchers of The WSJ. 

This ties in with a post last week about an interview The WSJ did with economist Edward Glaeser (see related posts listed below).

Excerpt:

"A 2020 study of more than 400 tech workers by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Northeastern University found that while remote and non-remote workers won roughly the same number of promotions, the salaries of remote workers grew more slowly. At companies where remote work was less common, telecommuters won fewer promotions."
