The need for a remote workforce has increased in recent years, and it's not going to slow down. The nature of work is changing, and the speed at which employees can accomplish tasks increases rapidly.
Paid time off is an outmoded concept. Employees are no longer taking time off when they're sick or need to travel; instead, they work when these needs arise. This isn't necessarily the most efficient way to handle business - but it is becoming more common in today's culture.
The pandemic has also accelerated things along when it comes to working from home. It has made working from home mandatory rather than just an option available to a few. Companies today have also become more flexible when it comes to where people work from.
All that said, working from home can get a bit monotonous, especially if you've been doing it for a long time. Let's take a look at a few places where you can work away from home.
If you want a brightly lit place and has one of the best herbal teas ever made in Austin, then Merit is the place. It is a great place to work away from home, and they keep it spotless, and they really know their coffee.
Their coffee comes directly from Latin American and African farmers. This results in a shot of caffeine that really perks you up. Great for those days when work's being a real pain. We'd definitely recommend the Seaholm branch, which has both indoor and outdoor seating with a great view.
