Remote work became a daily reality for people all over the world this past year. Despite home-working challenges like naked partners, noisy children and naughty pets, a recent Gartner survey revealed that as many as 80% of business leaders plan to allow remote work beyond the pandemic.
But many companies, especially in the tech industry, worked this way long before 2020. In fact, many think of themselves as “distributed” rather than “remote” because they actually have no central headquarters for their staff to be remote from.
Examples include the software companies Automattic, the creators of WordPress whose workers live in 79 different countries, and GitHub, which Microsoft acquired for $7.5 billion in 2018. So, how does a distributed company differ from a more traditional outfit?
form but this is transcript-ish and written like a transcript. and comma for comma, word for word, implying that it was the complete transcript. right which is interesting because unless people are taking notes in shorthand i don t know how anybody would be able to recreate that unless it was a natural transcript. and the interesting transcript, you have mike pompeo, the secretary of state saying he is effectively ordering or at least not cooperating with the congressional subpoenas of some of the documents relating to the state department, you have the white house, you have rudy giuliani saying he might be taking up legal action, it seems like just as an outside observer, we are in one big legal mess that shows no ends any time soon. yes. and stress point could ultimately be rudy giuliani because he is a private citizen and he enjoys some degree of attorney-client privilege with the president, if he is acting as private attorney, that dissipates if he is not acting as a lawyer
at risk right now, but what i worry about the most is it s already difficult, nicolle, in the intelligence community to get people to raise their hand, who are talented and want to be leaders and want to move up. it s all stress for little return. and i can tell you now the stress point has gotten so strong that i worry that talented people are simply going to say, i m not going. i m not going to washington. leave me alone and that s going to hurt us. frank figliuzzi and john sipher, thank you so much for joining us on an extraordinary day, another extraordinary day. after the break, donald trump s summer of discontent is in full swing and he has no one to blame but himself. plus, the jury in the manafort trial gets the case today. how a guilty verdict in that trial might trigger the president even more. someone delete his twitter app quick. the audacity of lies, the number of presidential lies passes 4,000, all the president s men and women go above and beyond just to keep up.
of stress that we see across the country. but really the headline here, these officers out in force, sending a message that at least this weekend nothing like what happened last year is going to happen in this town. and there are a lot of people there from out of town, i ve been to charlottesville in the summertime, thomas jefferson s academic village tends to be less populated when the students are gone. do you get the sense that people are coming back either to commemorate what happened and to stage protests? does it feel like the town is swelling in any way? reporter: the town is not swelling, but lots are out, a lot of people taking photos because it is an incredible sight to see. if i spin you 360 degrees, there are police car in the middle of the ped ped areestrian area. charlottesville is a blue dot within the sea of red. you have the university of virginia, liberal thinking going on, a student body that will start as to return. so you do have another stress point here which
and i simply don t think that s happening. the president s tweet over the weekend after h.r. laid out the case against the russians at the munich security conference, that tweet didn t just contradict the general, it publicly humiliated him. so you get a sense that the personal relationship may not be where it needs to be. structurally, the national security adviser is there to create a process that is methodical and disciplined on behalf of a president who is neither methodical nor disciplined. so my fear is no matter who gets that job, there is still going to be a stress point there. about the tweet that under cut h.r. mcmaster s efforts to vocalize that it was incontrovertible that russia had meddled, here s the tweet. general mcmaster forget to say the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the russians and that the only collusion was between russia and
