Knowledge work is changing. It’s now increasingly common for knowledge workers to work from home, hold multiple jobs, or work on contracts with multiple clients simultaneously.
Partly.work is a newsletter about the substantive issues as we transition to a new relationship between work and employees. What does research say about our productivity as we make this transition? What will change about the parts of work (benefits, liability protection, insurance, real estate) that aren’t work? How do we think about remote workers in the USA vs those in foreign countries? What is knowledge work? Can we distinguish it from other kinds of work? How will that work be done differently?
The answers to these questions will dictate a lot about your future. If we’re right, the next century is going to be a major shift, from 40 hour-a-week to something very different, at least for a certain class of workers in certain industries.
This newsletter is sponsored by Partly, a platform for tech workers to match with early-stage startups and work as contractors.
