Virtual work, which was steadily on the rise even before the
pandemic, is explored in this timely book that describes the impact
of technology on our work experiences, ranging from the individual
psychological level to the broad societal implications. Widespread
remote work is now possible, but it comes with its share of
frustrations. Virtual work has changed our lives in ways big and
small, from trying to balance our time to what we wear and where we
sit and from how we communicate to where we should look during a
videoconference. It's also fundamentally changed what kinds of jobs
we can now do. Grounded in research and including lively personal
anecdotes, The 10-Second Commute provides a thoughtful and
comprehensive scan of the nature of virtual work. The authors, both
researchers in management and technology, explore the current
questions of our virtual lives, such as: Why Zoom instead of Skype?
Why are emojis so useful? Why is videoconferencing so exhausting?
How does diversity at work both help and hinder productivity?
Virtual work is more than just work-it permeates our whole lives,
and it will continue to do so as hybrid work arrangements become
the new normal. Helping readers better understand the virtual work
experience, this book will engage and inform everyone who is still
trying to make it work. Discusses the conflicting roles of work and
home lives that can create challenges when working from home
Provides commentary on the big changes in our society based on
virtual work, such as the gig economy and the rise and fall of new
innovations in technology Includes interviews with relevant experts
on all facets of remote work, including architecture, programming,
fashion, telemedicine, law, education, tech entrepreneurship,
online recruiting, and leading virtual teams Discusses how
