The Covid-19 pandemic brought about significant changes to the way Americans view work. For some, losing a job in the pandemic opened their eyes to the meaning of their lives without the daily grind. For others, the newfound flexibility and freedom of remote work shifted their perspective on what a life feels like when work accommodates life, instead of what it feels like when life is forced to fit in the gaps allowed by work.
Some people realized they weren’t working jobs that suited their skills, or that, despite being highly skilled in their work, their work no longer felt fulfilling or meaningful. Some took the pandemic as the opportunity to make a long-desired change, and some found that the pandemic inflamed stressful work conditions to the point of unbearable toxicity. Many people are quitting with no backup plan, knowing that when they eventually return to work they will do so with the intention to find work that matches their value and their values.
Work will never go back to business as usual. This list is designed for the world that is emerging as a result of the insights gained during the pause of the pandemic. The companies listed here are adapting to the desire for digital flexibility by hiring remote workers.
