Out of Office by Charlie Warzel

Out of Office by Charlie Warzel

A future-looking, game-changing book from two leading culture reporters about the radical and transformational potential of working from home.

If you think you've been working from home during the pandemic, Charlie Warzel and Anne Helen Petersen are here to tell you otherwise. What we've been doing is something else entirely, a jury-rigged compromise made under the duress of a national crisis that's satisfactory for neither the worker nor the employer. For Warzel and Petersen, the past year has revealed that there may be another path forward for work, one that doesn't involve hellish daily commutes and the demands of jam-packed work schedules that no longer make sense. As a society, we have talked for decades about flexible work arrangements. In this book, the authors make clear that we are at an inflection point where this becomes possible for many companies and their employees.

Out of Office combines groundbreaking reporting and the couple's own experiences after they made the decision to leave their desk jobs in New York City for Montana. They describe how workers and employers across America, and around the world, are finding new ways of working that make people happier and more productive, and make companies more profitable. This is a book that aims to reshape our entire relationship to the office and outline a path toward a new kind of work-life balance that can improve our lives and strengthen our communities.
