Stress Check
EXHIBITOR magazine: The Pew Research Center estimates that as of April 2024, around 22 million employed adults in the U.S. exclusively work remotely, which is about 14 percent of all employed adults. That's more than double what it was in 2019, and even though the number has dropped since 2021's peak of 18 percent, it hasn't dropped by much. Remote work is here to stay — even in the face-to-face space. But in an inherently high-pressure industry, how can managers identify and prevent burnout when human connection is jeopardized by remote work?

I think that some of the advice in this article was very sound, and that it can be applied to almost every career situation. However, I wonder if the advice in the article is somewhat unreasonable because many companies and corporate leaders by default don’t take into consideration employee feelings as much as they probably should. Any professional teams that I have been a part of so far have been non-corporate, through theater or summer jobs in high school, and even in those environments often when the work gets more stressful or deadlines approach employee morale goes down and team-leaders become more overbearing and inconsiderate. I have been on both sides of the situation, and based on that knowledge I think that if more leaders and employees read articles with advice like this and tried to implement it into their daily work practice it could positively affect them like this article explains.
