"Think about what's happening in the world. Declining birth rates, declining marriage rates, and the loneliness epidemic. And we think that none of that is linked to the number of people that don't see people because they're doing Zoom calls from the living room?"
"The key to a long and happy life is your close relationships. Being in the room matters from the very start of a career."
"I consider it a red flag when job candidates ask about work-life balance during the interview process. Work-life balance is your problem. It isn't your employer's."
Emma Grede emphasizes the overlooked social costs of remote work, labeling it as 'career suicide.' She connects remote work to declining birth and marriage rates and the loneliness epidemic. Grede argues that personal relationships are crucial for a fulfilling life and stresses the importance of in-person interactions early in one's career.
