There’s no denying that in recent months, one of the fastest-growing trends, especially among tech companies, is to have their employees work remotely, whether from home or from wherever they choose. Google and Facebook, for instance, have given their employees the option to work remotely through next summer. And Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Square and Twitter, has said that his team can choose to work remotely forever if they’d like. And plenty of other big-name corporations have offered similar options to their employees.
