Yo! Who Hired You?

The Truth About Remote Work in 2025 🎧

• James and Hag • Season 1 • Episode 9

They said remote work was dead — but the numbers say otherwise. 💻

In this episode, we unpack the real story behind the “return to office” push and why the future of work looks nothing like 2019. Despite corporate pressure, 27% of paid workdays in the U.S. are still remote, and offices remain barely half full nationwide. Employers are quietly adapting to hybrid schedules — averaging 1.5 remote days a week — exactly what employees are already doing.

Nearly half of remote-capable workers say they’d quit if forced back full-time. ⚡ Meanwhile, industries like Finance, Tech, and Professional Services are proving that flexible work can drive both performance and retention — averaging over two days a week from home.

This isn’t rebellion. It’s evolution.
The workplace has changed — and so have we.

Would you go back full-time if your company asked? 👇
