Since the start of remote work in 2020, the workstyle has undergone a complete transformation.
It’s difficult to discern when the traditional 9-to-5 job turned into a 24/7 commitment.
Working in your pajamas, enjoying an extra 30 minutes of sleep, and eliminating the daily commute may seem like the epitome of comfort.
